Mario day
Looks to be a vanity page, does not cite sources or explain the impact outside of a town in Missouri. Vote to delete unless sources can be found, and even then I'd merge with Mario. Grinnblade 01:47, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

No vanity is intended. There is a community of people that have celebrated this officially for the past few years on various high school and college campuses in Missouri. Word of it has also spread through various video game message boards like IGN and such. The article is still in a work in progress, though merging with Mario wouldn't be viewed as negative.

 * This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 14:59, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Smerge with Mario. While it could be construed as notable (and I'm stretching, here), it really doesn't qualify for more than a paragraph on a trivia section of the primary article.--み使い Mitsukai 15:11, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Mario. A made-up holiday may be interesting trivia, but probably don't deserve its own article. - Rynne 18:40, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per:

What follows are general suggestions on how one is to conduct a day devoted to the famous Italian Plummer:
 * Gather friends together with food and music
 * Play as many Mario-themed games as possible (ref. List of Mario Games)
 * Dress as your favorite Mario Characters
 * Watch Mario-themed videos and films
 * Sing Mario-themed songs"

 * I've reworked and reworded much of it to be more neutral and I've provided outside information and references to establish legitimacy. Cheapham 23:31, 7 March 2006 (CST)
 * Merge as per Mitsukai, I just don't think there's enough to say on the subject to warrent its own article. Mallocks 20:23, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
