List of holiday colors

 * Delete - no sources that indicate that any holidays have colors associated with them, let alone that the colors noted in the article are associated with any holiday, Otto4711 07:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletions.   -- SkierRMH 00:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OR. All this informationn is already included in the separate articles as well as the fact that this article does not consider the fact that the colours of the days sometimes changes per country. Mkdw talk 07:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - how very ethnocentric! --Action Jackson IV 07:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per the list not attributing the sources used to create it, and as a result, being original research. Kyra~(talk) 09:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - not attributed is not the same as not attributable. I'll add a few refs. - Peregrine Fisher 12:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Where to start? Firstly, definition of 'holiday': there isn't one, and many of these are not holidays in any meaningful sense (for example, St David's Day is NOT a holiday in Wales - it's just 1 March). Secondly, much of the information is absolutely wrong (for example, green and red are the 'national colours' of Wales, but St Davod's day is associated with yellow because of daffodils!). Thirdly, some information is downright confusing (e.g. Armistice Day - Nov 11 - is a holiday in some countries, but not in the UK where the poppy is a charity fund-raising symbol associated with the armistice). In addition, hopelessly ethnocentric (read largely USAcentric). Emeraude 14:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as an arbitary list failing WP:NOT. The holidays, to a large extent are not holidays, the colours associated with them are at best ethnocentric and more likely OR. For the few where there is a well documented colour associated with the day this is better dealt with on the holiday article, explaining the association, rather than in a list stating red, green, turquoise, avocado green.

 * Delete Unsourced, undefined ("holiday") and extremely biased - I would have removed a few of the references therein as blatantly incorrect. 00:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per all. An international encyclopedia should have international sources for articles that purport to provide information on an international basis. Even if this were List of colors commonly attributed to holidays by Anglophones in the United States, it should still be attributed, and this isn't. -- Charlene 02:32, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
