This article is a total hoax. I have verified on Google, only 2 hits and both of them are here at wikipedia. Nothing on calendars, almanacs, nada. This article requires deletion. Thor Malmjursson (talk) 18:11, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Neither the article nor the feast holiday is a hoax. Knowlsbury's Day has been celebrated in my family for generations and so has it been in many parts of Canada and many parts of England. I've just completed research into the origins of the holiday and have shared some cursory information on Wikipedia. They will be more completely reported in the European Journal of Cultural Studies where the article that I have prepared with my co-authors is currently in peer-review. It is a sad day when new and culturally insightful information is discarded because it receives an unsatisfactory number of "hits" on Google. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdsalusb (talk • contribs)


 * I quote - "Knowlsbury's Day is an annual feast holiday celebrated on 27 November." If this is such a well known holiday, surely someone else on the internet would have written about it besides you; it would also appear in almanacs, datebooks, diaries, Ordos, and there would be listings about it in other places. You appear to be the only person worldwide who has written about this "holiday" - 2 hits, both of which point to wikipedia. Such a well known holiday would not only be covered here, and by you.  Sorry - I declare it a hoax.  Thor Malmjursson (talk) 18:33, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
