Talk:Fat Tuesday

Needs it own article
I think that Fat Tuesday definitely needs its own article, like Ash Wednesday. It's a religious feast day, and most people (& families) in the US don't even celebrate "Mardi Gras", but they enjoy Fat Tuesday. They should be an article on the day, its history, and its traditions. It's not Mardi Gras, it's simply on the same day. This is the same reason Shrove Tuesday has its own article (even though its on the same day as "Mardi Gras"). I know it means Fat Tuesday in French, but it's viewed as a party day, while Fat Tuesday is viewed as a religious day. They don't seem to go hand in hand. Plus, why would the English Wikipedia have the Fat Tuesday article under its French name? The article hardly says anything what the religious day is about.  нмŵוτн τ  18:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC) I thought that "Fat Tuesday" was actually called Pancake Tuesday. That's what everyone I know calls it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.150.158.184 (talk) 22:02, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
