[edit] October 28

hello!
i reverted year mentioning founding of Torcida Split as it is one of, or even the, oldest organized fans' group in Europe. so i guess notability exists. if not, let me know why please. cheers! West Brom 4ever (talk) 23:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Generally, events having to do with sports fans groups are not considered globally notable. The events are only notable to the fans or to people in the area where the club exists. You mention that "it is one of, or even the, oldest organized fans' group in Europe" but that claim is not supported by the article. Even if it was the oldest, it would not be globally notable. Also, there is no reference in the article that supports the founding date. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 00:04, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] National Protest Day

I have heard mention that october 28th is national protest day(possibly only in Canada) and am having difficulty finding truth to it, if anyone knows anything or can find anything I'd be interested in seeing it posted on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghyslyn (talk • contribs) 17:31, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
