The result was   closed as moot, article has been redirected (not me) but it looks like it was an obvious right outcome anyway, and I see no compelling reason to erase the history. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:47, 27 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I think that the William Wilberforce Day page on Wikipedia should be saved.
 * The William Wilberforce Day holiday has been acknowledged by several credible sources, including Wilberforce University in Ohio. Some events sites included last year's holiday:

William Wilberforce Day

Holiday instituted to commemorate a very notable person, however the holiday itself is nowhere close to meeting our notability guidelines. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 20:28, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Comment - it seems a bit silly to delete it, as it can properly and usefully be redirected to William Wilberforce, which I have boldly done.HeartofaDog (talk) 01:40, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
