The result was delete. Lots of places choose different times to "celebrate" a Bacon Day, but there's no evidence that International Bacon Day actually exists as a single topic. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 01:42, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

International Bacon Day

Trivial. There may well be some local coverage of some local events, but this is not a thing. And look at the sourcing--it is atrocious. Couple of blogs and bacony websites, besides an article in the local press here and there. Drmies (talk) 19:15, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep. I found and added multiple news references, not all poor, and from 2014, 2015, and 2016, so the coverage was not a single blip. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:31, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep True, some of these references are trivial, but others seem pretty solid. Enough to meet the criteria. And besides, who doesn't love bacon? (Me doing my Homer Simpson voice: mmmmm...bacon...) ShelbyMarion (talk) 16:23, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete As the OP points out, a perfect example of why a few passing mentions in local media does not constitute significant coverage in reliable sources (obviously some of the sources, such as Republic of Bacon and BaconToday, are ludicrous). Nwlaw63 (talk) 01:57, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Love of bacon alone doth not a holiday make, perhaps unfortunately. The given sources are at best weak, at worst self-promotion.  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:44, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete local media coverage sporadically does not make something notable for purposes of inclusion in Wikipedia. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:35, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
