Mars Holiday
Probable hoax, or Something Made Up in School One Day. The references at the bottom don't support the holiday idea: they all refer to the hoax email. Note the sentence "Since this holiday is little known and since the original hoax which it is based on was started on the Internet, wikipedia and other Internet resources are being used to spread word of this holiday."

 * Delete, zero sources and WP:NFT as noted in nom. Demiurge 12:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete (in fact, speedy delete as nonsense) Far too many references to "little known" and other weasel words, it's something made up in school. Lots of "references", but none for this fictitious holiday. Agent 86 20:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Laughing delete - "Since this holiday is little known and since the original hoax which it is based on was started on the Internet, wikipedia and other Internet resources are being used to spread word of this holiday." Lucky us. That's hilarious. We get told it's non-notable and advertising all in one sentence. I wish all articles at AFD were like that! Moreschi 21:45, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, this thing has a whole lot of reliable sources describing the original hoax this was based off. Maybe those sources can be used in Mars if it wasn't mentioned already (especially the snopes.com article. - Mgm|(talk) 12:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
