Talk:List of Black Sundays

Sourcing tag
I understand that this is a disambiguation page. However, the page labels a number of events with the tag 'Black Sunday' with neither attribution nor link to a supporting WP page. This constitutes original research and needs to be either attributed and verified or removed. Ronnotel 17:47, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The disambiguation only links to articles that mention a "Black Sunday" and doesn't in itself constitute original research. Why not tag the respective articles as unsourced, needing verification or original research and then remove any links here that are not verified?  dissolve talk  18:00, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem is that there are no linked articles for many of these events. The only claim that these events are referred to as 'Black Sunday', AFAICT, is made on this page. Why did you revert all of my fact tags? You also removed a perfectly useful link to the Jethro Tull song. Ronnotel 18:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ronnote, I notice that you have added similar {fact} tags to other "Black Xday" articles. I removed another one on Black Tuesday.  Again, disambiguation pages are not articles, and thus do not get citations or references.  That'd be like having footnotes and references for entries in a book index.  That said, people definitely do get carried away in adding odd stuff to disambiguation pages.  In many cases, I think the appropriate reaction is to be bold and simply delete problematic entries.  I just did that on Black Tuesday.  —johndburger 02:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * If you read the articles, each of them mentions the "Black Sunday" linked to from here. That is the only reason they are listed on this page. I reverted fact tags because the Manual of style for disambiguation doesn't include any need for citations on a disambig page. Disambig pages are only collections of links. The facts in the article should be cited. I didn't remove the link to the Jethro Tull song, I removed the link to the King's Island incident as per MOS:DP because there is (now) no mention of it in the article.  dissolve talk  18:10, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed, like redirects, disambiguation pages are not articles, so {fact} tags are inappropriate. However, we should be careful about DAB entries for terms that don't even occur in a target article.  That appears to have been resolved here.  —johndburger 01:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * All sorts of things are acceptable on non-Dab pages that are not on Dabs. We need a Dab page for "Black Sunday", but this the accompanying page can go its own way. --Jerzy•t 06:57 & 07:00 & 07:47, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This is not a disambiguation page; that page is at Black Sunday. This is a WP:LIST of events or parts of events that are obliquely referred to as "Black Sunday". I think they need to be independently referenced, especially if they do not have their own accompanying article. --Yeti Hunter (talk) 06:05, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Jethro Tull
"Black Sunday", a song by Jethro Tull on his album A

His? Unless you're referring to the inventor of the seed drill (who, to my knowledge, never released an album called "A"), it should be "their". I've changed this. 84.68.34.66 (talk) 16:46, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Death of dale earnhart?
should this be included? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Olsdude (talk • contribs) 22:50, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

- Personally I would go with no because it was "only" one person. Though its debatable. What doesn't belong on the "black days list" is some BS about a sports team losing. That is just a day, and does not belong on a list of days made up almost entirely of massacres and real tragedies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.114.200.159 (talk) 05:31, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Disneyland opening
Should it be on the article that Disneyland cast members referred to the disastrous first day of Disneyland. Guests sneaked into the park with counterfeit tickets, people were pushing and shoving others out of the line, water fountains shut off, and a gas leak caused half the park to be shut down for the rest of the day. &mdash; Coasterge ekperson 04 ' s talk @Nov/25/08 04:26

reference to black friday?
reference to Black Friday? Becuz Black sunday isn't a real thing it seems more like a pun or a play on words

--- NO, and the word is "because". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.114.200.159 (talk) 05:28, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
