Talk:National Hugging Day

Official date -- AGAIN
This article is an embarrassment. National Hugging Day is January 21. The official website -- *cited as a reference in the article*-- says so. This article says it's January 21 in one place, but claims January *29* in *four* places (including the box on the right side). What the hell? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.212.107.13 (talk) 11:16, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Removal of Michigan
If this page isn't set for deletion, I think that there should be a removal of Michigan taking claim. --MWOAP (talk) 23:21, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Copyrighting a day?
You just can't copyright a holiday. You can copyright e.g. a text or an image and you could register "National Hug Day" as a trademark. Zaborney has something registered with the United States Copyright Office called C.O. correspondence, which is probably the basis for that claim, but it's wouldn't be the first time copyright and trademark law has been misunderstood or willfully misrepresented.

Official date
The article is confusing: "It occurs on January 22 but is not a public holiday. The day was launched on January 21, 1986". Then the right side of the page uses the 21st as the date. There can only be a date. Is it 21 or 22?

Mayweather/Pacqiao vandalism
If you compare the current version with 7th of May version, you can see that a number of key details have been changed, specifically regarding the origins of the day. I'm hesitant to revert the changes, as I'm not familiar with Wikipedia procedure for that kind of thing, but I thought it was probably worth pointing out. Also, the source given for that sentence in the opening paragraph (source 3) does not support the claim that it's based of Mayweather and Pacqiao's hug, nor does it support the date claimed in the (newer version of the) article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.2.171.48 (talk) 04:52, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Deletion
I personally think this commercial article worth a deletion? I don't know which "many other countries" celebrated this holiday on the specific January 21.--Rochelimit (talk) 08:06, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
