Free Shipping Day

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not a notable holiday. One of many promotional marketing days for the Christmas shopping season; the references are largely first-party or press releases. Using references such as would possibly be citogenesis. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 06:29, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisted after undoing "delete" closure per talk page request.
 * Selective Merge to Freight transport, which has no mention of this, as per WP:ATD-M. North America1000 10:55, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete -- promotionalism-only, apparently. I don't see a reason to merge to Freight transport, that seems off-topic for the suggested target. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:42, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -- This is a real online holiday shopping event that has been going on for a decade. How does it differ from Black Friday or Cyber Monday, which are also derived for promotional purposes. Categories E-commerce, Online retailers,Movable December observances seem relevant, as would shopping. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Focorunner (talk • contribs) 20:50, 13 December 2017 (UTC)  — Focorunner (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep: The consideration to remove this page seems arbitrary given the existence of pages for other retail promotional events including Green Monday (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Monday) and Super Saturday (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Saturday). Both of these events are categorized as movable monthly observances and are not currently tagged for deletion. I agree Freight transport is off-topic for this entry and should not be merged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kinoli15 (talk • contribs) 23:31, 13 December 2017 (UTC)  — Kinoli15 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Keep While I may have a personal opinion about whether something like this belongs in an encyclopedia, I cannot deny that there is an abundance of coverage of the article topic in reliable secondary sources. Nwlaw63 (talk) 18:10, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep My rationale is very similar to Nwlaw63. It could use some trimming of promotional content, however. &mdash; cnzx  05:37, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
