The result was   speedy keep. I'm going to be BOLD and close this. The nominator is not taking a position, the original PRODDer is !voting "keep" and there are no "delete" !votes. This is the same as a withdrawn nomination. (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 14:14, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Geek Pride Day

Contested PROD. I have no vote. Ryan Delaney talk 09:30, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedily Keep - I think this must have been nominated in error. Very important day which has had a lot of coverage in Europe (I live in the UK and am very aware of it; it's of course very newsworthy in Spain and will certainly be making the national newspapers and TV news again next Monday). Now it's crossed over to Canada it may even start getting exposure over there too. But of course it needs to be kept. Tris2000 (talk) 09:59, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, weakly. Google News shows some independent coverage. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:24, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - actually, there's even more coverage if you look up Nerd Pride Day in Google News Tris2000 (talk) 12:21, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep, I would call the google news hits pretty good evidence of notability. Sorting through all the forums and blogs on the regular google search also shows some promise. Athanasius • Quicumque vult  14:28, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, I nominated because of the sources only being forums and blogs (which do not meet the verifiability policy). Weak keep as I can now see the Google News hits. (as a note, I was the PROD nominator) blurredpeace ☮ 02:55, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
