Based upon the arguments used for deletion in Steak and Blowjob Day, this article in question doesn't meet Attribution standards. Specifically, all references to the event itself are self-created, or from "blogs" (questionable sources). Autocracy 06:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * strong keep-I can attest to its reality-we've celebrated this at my last two jobs, Gyarr! Chris 06:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * 300+ Google News Archive hits say otherwise, so Keep. Of course, some of these should be added to the article -- at the moment the only independent source "about" it is Dave Barry. -- Dhartung | Talk 06:31, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

keep A Google search for "talk like a pirate day" gave 471,000 hits. If the article needs sources add them. But keep the article so that can be done. Binky The WonderSkull 06:38, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - mentioned occasionally as off-beat news in many different news outlets. I've seen it on the Dutch state journal here and it still frequently pops up on some of the larger Internet news sites. Article is of terrible quality and doesn't meet some quality standards, but that should not be a reason for deletion if the subject matter is notable. —msikma (user, talk) 07:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
