Turducken Day
Pretty obvious that this isn't a real holiday. The reason I didn't tag it for speedy deletion is that there's a miniscule chance that some people actually celebrate this. Mr. Lefty 21:38, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Delete From what I can tell, this is a hoax. This link dating from 2002 mentions turducken day, but it appears to be in context with Thanksgiving. This link is from November, yet the article claims this is celebrated in March. In fact, I found a very small handful of google hits that all refer to November as if "Turducken" and "Thanksgiving" are interchangable. As such, I can find nothing at all to back up the claims of this article. IrishGuy 21:50, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, not widely celebrated.  is another link for this supposed holiday. Brian G. Crawford 21:51, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, mentioned on FoxNews.com. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 14:33, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Being on the Fox News website isn't exactly a glowing recommendation. Mr. Lefty 21:58, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Regrardless... --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 22:03, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * That article mentions Turduckens (a legitimate food article), but not Turducken Day as a holiday. I still believe this is either eminently non-notable or an outright hoax.IrishGuy 05:19, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Check the first paragraph. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 12:41, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The article is from November. As I noted above, the only mentions of this are in reference to November, not March as the article states. It appears that this term is simply a joking way to refer to Thankgiving and not a holiday in its own right. IrishGuy 21:06, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * So if the article is wrong, we should change it. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 21:25, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Hey, someone named "Mr. Lefty" doesn't like Fox News, shocking! w00t w00t :) --Deville (Talk) 20:39, 29 April 2006 (UTC)


 * From the looks of things on Google, it seems like a) a "turducken" is a real thing, which is causing much confusion in this case, because b) "Turducken Day" is a scurrilous hoax. Grrr!  Grrr, I say! fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 16:56, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how "Turducken Day" is a hoax, given its many mentions. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 17:13, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It is a hoax because there aren't many mentions. Any mention is in direct relation to Thanksgiving. There doesn't appear to be any separae holiday called Turducken Day.IrishGuy 18:01, 29 April 2006 (UTC)


 * keep please people will search this here or redirect to thanksgiving like turkey day Yuckfoo 17:16, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't believe people will search for this here, it's a one off 'joke'. Delete. Average Earthman 18:02, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Here in New Orleans everyone knows about turduckens, but nobody has ever heard of "Turducken Day." NawlinWiki 18:38, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Seems pretty fake to me... Wickethewok 19:31, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, Turduckens == infinitely awesome, but there is no Turducken Day. Looking through these links, it's pretty clear people are calling all kinds of things turducken day, sometimes it's Thanksgiving, sometimes it's Super Bowl Sunday, and in some cases it's whenever someone wanted to make a turducken.  This article is an obvious hoax, if only because it mentions San Francisco instead of New Orleans, and everyone knows turduckens are a Louisiana thing.  Seriously, this thing became an Internet meme of late, but this page is a hoax and an inside joke. --Deville (Talk) 20:38, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Turduckens are fantastic; they taste wonderful (but are a little pricy), but a holiday surrounding them? I don't think so... --Mhking 23:15, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Hoax. The links are all tongue in cheek references to other holidays as Turducken day.  Even the Fox News one.  --  Samir  [[Image:Canadian maple leaf 2.jpg|20px]]   (the scope)   धर्म  01:36, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
