Pruning
I'll tag the unsourced items with "citation needed" and remove them in about two weeks time if they are still uncited. Sjö (talk) 20:03, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Merge proposal (with "List of international observances")
In the two articles, both "observance" and "awareness day" are defined essentially the same way. The only clear difference between the articles is that International observance is restricted to observances in an international level, while Awareness day proposes to list not only international but also local awareness days. I propose that "International observance" be merged into "Awareness day", which than can be divided into a section for "International" days (where the content of "International observance" would go) and other sections and sub-sections for observances in the level of countries and their sub-regions.

An alternative would be to delete the article "Awareness day" and simply create new articles for national observances in each country, but then I believe it would be harder to grow the articles gradually because as small articles such as "National observances in Iceland" start appearing, they would probably be harshly persecuted by deletionists.Ariel Pontes (talk) 10:35, 8 June 2015 (UTC)


 * I support merging only the awareness days from the days section of List of international observances into this article. it should be noted that some of the events on List of international observances like New Year's Day are not awareness days. k18s (talk) 19:29, 22 November 2016 (UTC)


 * I wonder if the first step is to define a clear definitions of what an awareness day vs observance is? Is there any difference? Is an awareness (or action) day a more specific version of an observance, because it has been setup specifically to raise awareness? Pauljmackay (talk) 09:46, 24 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Support. This needs to be merged in a sensible fashion. At this stage it looks to me as if they deal with the same thing. EMsmile (talk) 21:26, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * So the merge has been done but it's as yet incomplete. We have two sections with "Days" now. Could someone do the boring legwork to merge the two table together? Or perhaps they are already identical, in which case one of the two could be deleted. EMsmile (talk) 22:28, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
