National Maple Syrup Day

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

According to the sources provided this is not a sanctioned holiday by any government. Does not appear to be notable. SQGibbon (talk) 22:37, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete While no "National ______ Day" has to be a holiday, this cute idea barely even gets a mention anywhere . This one has been mentioned a few times in the "strange news" section of newspapers, and on a few "hey, guess what today is" websites, but that's about it.  For those who give a syrup about such things, it is said to be on December 17.  Mandsford 01:21, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Commment: How strange.  As you can see on the article talk page this one is a bit odd.  Its been mentioned in papers and such, but the origin is not easily identified as real.--Milowent (talk) 20:29, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge into Maple syrup &mdash; the obvious place to cover this per our editing policy. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:57, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * If it exists! (Though even then a mention of it being reported on regardless of its unknown and possibly sketchy origin should be included, I think.)--Milowent (talk) 23:42, 24 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - could not find a reliable source proving the actual existence of the holiday, not a word on who created it, on why it's in December, or which "nation" we're talking about (Canada or the US, the only producers of maple syrup), thus I am skeptical and think it might just be a hoax. Even the webpages about the supposed holiday admit they couldn't find info on it thus the article has zero verifiable content. And the related holidays are also suspect, except for Pancake Day which is well established by reliable sources. --70.80.234.196 (talk) 12:59, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Additional comment &mdash; I was also unable to find any kind of industry support for this day. Not sure if there is a cohesive national/international maple syrup industry but looking at various state groups (e.g. Vermont and New York) didn't reveal any mention of this day.
