Stupid Day and Towel Day
Stupid. Jokes on a website, not notable enough. There's plenty of other pages related to RinkWorks which could also be below the bar - a merge or delete might be in order for some of them. sjorford// 21:21, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 *  Sorry for the double-listing - I obviously wasn't concentrating properly that day, as I just assumed they were a related pair of articles. Won't do it again.  sjorford// 14:21, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Disintegrate. Yawn. Phils 22:29, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. I do recall that Adams' fellow fantasy/SF writer Terry Pratchett celebrated the first towel day, asking fans who came to a book signing he was holding to bring their towels. There should be something about this in the Douglas Adams article, but it doesn't really merit an article of its own in my opinion. It seems to be more talked about than celebrated. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 22:55, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, though Stupid Day would have no shortage of celebrants if it were for real. Denni &#9775; 02:24, 2005 Feb 10 (UTC)
 * Delete zzzz. Wyss 02:30, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I say to delete Stupid Day and keep Towel Day.   &mdash; Kieff | Talk 02:39, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not an expert on Towel Day, but merge Stupid Day to RinkWorks and redirect. It might have been useful to have separate VfD listings for these, just for future reference.  --Idont Havaname 04:28, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Please don't entirely delete Stupid Day. Merging it with RinkWorks would be a good idea. BTW, I usually celebrate Towel Day. 85.76.152.179 05:28, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Towel Day. Merge and redirect Stupid Day. Megan1967 06:06, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep towel day. &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 09:49, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Stupid day. It is a non-official holiday, but nevertheless a holiday. Wikipedian231 17:34, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep both. Especially Towel Day. -SocratesJedi | Talk 17:47, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I am the original author of the Stupid Day article, and while I would personally like to keep it, the overall opinion seems to be to merge it with RinkWorks, preserving the actual content. So that's what I'm going for. 85.76.152.179 ~
 * When Towel Day starts to approach Bloomsday in popularity come back and write about it. Until then delete (or maybe merge somewhere, if you can find a spot). -R. fiend 20:13, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it should be merged with Douglas Adams? 85.76.152.179 06:33, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Towel Day, delete Stupid Day, and please don't do this kind of joint VfD listing of two articles about which a contributor might well have different opinions. JamesMLane 17:35, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete both of them.  --BM 17:46, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree with JML, keep Towel Day, delete Stupid Day due to no evidence of any notability. List these types of things seperately next time. Gamaliel 17:07, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Towel Day, delete the other. Furthermore, I second JamesMLane that we should not be joint-listing articles on VfD!  Can we make this an official policy?  GRider\talk 20:08, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree that forbidding joint-listing articles on VfD should be official policy, especially when they're written by different, unrelated users, as in this case. I wrote Stupid Day but I have no idea who wrote Towel Day. 193.167.132.66 10:42, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep Towel Day. Stupid Day gan go.
