Talk:International Coffee Day

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as pure vandalism or a blatant hoax, because... (This is a real and true annual event, which people around the world participate in. This is verifiable through many sources (including international media), and I am still editing, and hoping that others will join in editing this article to provide more citation and references) --CafeAlayna (talk) 05:29, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. There are a few good sources which say it is national coffee day. A simple search for "national coffee day" via google was all it took. And lets face it, a day of free coffee is great! Who would want it gone? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/national-coffee-day-celebrate-with-a-free-cup-of-joe/2011/09/29/gIQA37756K_blog.html http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-20113411-10391704.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.147.126.42 (talk) 18:01, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, it's not an annual event, yet. Oct 1, 2015 is the first celebration of "International" Coffee Day. Who knows if will become an annual event? What we do know is that September 29 is National Coffee Day in many countries around the world. National Coffee Day SHOULD NOT be redirected to this page for an event that has only be held once. Very illogical. Peter-T (talk) 19:15, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Editing Suggestions

 * Suggestions? This article states that the origin of [International Coffee Day] is unknown... but I just came across an article in BBC News, from 2007, which notes that National Coffee Day was made by, or is supported by the fair trade groups in order to raise awareness (of coffee processing, fair trade)... BBC News article: Should this point be added, and the statement of origin unknown be removed? The source is reliable, but I'm not sure if the reference in the article is enough to say we now know the origin... Thoughts?  Alayna the Extravagant (talk) 05:54, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The article just says it is supported by fair trade groups, but I didn't see anything about the origin. I'm sure Big Corporation also supports Coffee Day. The only way the article seems relevant is if you want to mention the awareness and the plight of the coffee growers. Boneyard90 (talk) 06:17, 4 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you... yes, I would agree with that observation. I was thinking that I was getting it wrong, so I thought I'd ask an opinion... Alayna the Extravagant (talk) 08:59, 4 October 2011 (UTC)


 * How do I link to a Wikipedia article which is in a different language? Alayna the Extravagant (talk) 10:31, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * In regards to the name (continued from the AfD page)... The earliest documented celebration of a 'coffee day' (that we've found so far) was Japan in 1983, and it was called International Coffee Day... Similarly, in 1997 in China (still earlier than documented in the US), an annual coffee day celebration was started, and also called 'International Coffee Day'. Some companies and media in the US refer to this event as International Coffee Day, while others call it National Coffee Day. I am guessing that there are more countries that have celebrated this earlier than the US, and perhaps also called it International Coffee Day... Thats just speculation, which is allowed in discussions... but searching for coffee facts in non-English news and articles can be a little difficult. Google translate is a pretty good tool, but it also messes up some translations as well. But in any case, the earliest observances of coffee day were called International Coffee Day (and still are), so that's one of the reasons I lean towards this name.

 * The date of September 29... the page mentions http://scae.com/news-and-events/international-coffee-day and on THAT webpage it says October 1st. There was a previous mention of October 1st when I was last on this page (I have a coffee shop so I am preparing to use the information for our facebook posts on that day) and on here previously it said October 1st. Is there some kind of dispute over this? The "official" facebook pages and instagram accounts both say October 1st. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.216.61.127 (talk) 01:49, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Coffee Day of Indonesia? Request for further research please?
I am an Indonesian and I am not aware that there is a signed declaration for "Coffee Day" in Indonesia. I have a (rather outdated) list of all official declaration in Indonesia and there's no mention about coffee day or related observance there. The linked reference in this wikiarticle refer to a celebration of coffee day and independence day in Germany year 2009. I think the coffee tasting event are just a form of celebration only during that particular year. There is no statement in the article about "Coffee Day" being a national observance. Despite of that, the linked reference did mention that the coffee day celebration in Germany on that year is the 4th annual celebration, which means that the day was probably started around 2005. In conclusion, I'm not very sure with only one reference, I need another proof. Can somebody put a tagline requesting a further research--Rochelimit (talk) 09:35, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
