Dissociative Identity Disorder Awareness Day

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't meet WP:GNG. This appears to be a couple years old, and a WP:BEFORE search gives results that are mainly blogs, social media, various attempts at promotion, etc. (Note: I had originally redirected this to the main article for the disorder per WP:ATD, but was reverted, so am nominating here instead). –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 20:09, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

As I already explained this a public awareness day to raise awareness on the dissociative identity disorder. It's not a couple of years old, it's celebrated annually. As dissociative identity disorder is a disorder that is still studied, not well known by a lot of health professionals (especially outside the English speaking world) there might not be as many sources on it as on other mental health awareness days. The days will take place on March 5th. I guess because a lot of posts will be made on that day by DID sufferers because part of the idea is that they tell their stories, there will be a lot of people searching for the term. And it would be great if they would then find an explanation for it then. I think it would be great if Wikipedia included this into their encyclopeadia. The more DID sufferers "come out" the more it'll be known and accepted anyway. I'm sure this awareness day will gain more notoriety during the next decade or two. Hope that helped. Of course it would be great if other could improve the article.

 * Delete - no coverage in reliable sources. Days of the year dot com is just a list of 'weird holidays' (source's wording) that occur each day. So is national day calendar. No significance established. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia  ᐐT₳LKᐬ  18:33, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
