 * Delete - trivia Spiderone  21:36, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:LISTPURP, WP:CLN, and WP:ATD. Contra the nominator's claim, we have at least 19 notable entries for this list just judging from the corresponding category alone, Category:Christmas and holiday season parades. So there is obviously enough to support it as an index of articles, and whether the list should also contain nonnotable entries is a question for normal editing and discussion to address, and there has been no attempt to even discuss this on the list's talk page. In any event, we have no substantive complaint raised here that would call for deletion. postdlf (talk) 01:53, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep Passes WP:LISTN.  These parades can be quite a big deal as entire books are written about some of them, including:
 * 1) Chicago's State Street Christmas Parade;
 * 2) Tulsa Christmas Parade;
 * 3) A Mile of Make-Believe: A History of the Eaton's Santa Claus Parade;
 * 4) The Santa Claus Parade Story;
 * 5) Christmas: Traditions and Legends;
 * 6) Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade: A New York City Holiday Tradition.

 * Those sources should be applied to individual articles, not a whole list of them. Ajf773 (talk) 19:32, 22 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep as a valid educational encyclopedic topic with nineteen related articles and multiple reliable sources coverage such as the books listed above, no reason for deletion except WP:IDONTLIKEIT	Atlantic306 (talk) 20:01, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * This article is written like a directory hence my good reason to nominate it. Most of the notable articles are mentioned with greater detail here: Santa Claus parade. Ajf773 (talk) 09:42, 23 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Holiday parades have been around so long that they are quite noteworthy in their own right.TH1980 (talk) 01:04, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Parades are not notable just because they exist. Ajf773 (talk) 02:04, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
