Fuck The Earth Day

Fuck The Earth Day (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Delete. A seemingly non-notable holiday. No reliabe sources are given (and I can't see the Facebook page), and good ol' Google gives 13 results. -- Consumed Crustacean (talk) 08:54, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Please do not delete this article. I do celebrate this holiday, as do others. You cannot judge this holiday based on the number of hits google comes up with. If you do not know about this holiday, you cant tell people who do celebrate it that it doesn't exist. If you celebrate this holiday, please help us make a good article about it, if you dont, please stop telling us that it doesn't exist just because the people who celebrate it dont post lots of websites about it.

In order to keep this article on Wikipedia, you have to provide reliable sources to prove that it exists. The burden of proof is on you to show that the holiday exists, not on others to show it doesn't. Hut 8.5 14:51, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I understand, but IMO we have proved it, go to the discussion page of the article, I've posted a link to our reference where it was announded on national TV. People keep ignoring this source. If in the end, it is decided that this should not be on wikipedia, i guess that is what has to happen, but please dont ignore our source first... -- QuintusMaximus 23:04, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. 'Talk like a Pirate Day', which I notice does have an article here on Wikipedia, was also made up one day. It does not, as far as I can tell, have any importance whatsoever. 'Fuck the Earth Day' is actually supposed to mean something, to be a statement about the Earth and its current condition. Dearingj 09:24, January 28 2007 (UTC)
  • Thanks, this is an important point i agree with. Fuck the Earth Day is part serious/part satire-ironic... It is however significant in the same way MANY other things on wikipedia are... QuintusMaximus 09:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Talk Like A Pirate Day, however, is well-sourced and has been widely written about. --UsaSatsui 11:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • This was announced on national television! Seriously, that is pretty solid... QuintusMaximus 12:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Quintus, I try to understand the effort you put in FTE Day and the significance it may have for you, but have you ever read the policy about notability in Wikipedia? For instance the fact that a topic is considered notable, and so suitable to be included, "if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject itself and each other"? We are not questioning FTE Day in itself (or perhaps someone has, but this is not the point). The fact is, something is notable (be it a song, a crime or an event) if it is widely known, referenced and studied. Give yourself and FTE Day time to grow and become renowned. --Goochelaar 12:20, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I completely understand where you are comming from, but i doubt that it is going to get more renound then it already is. To me, it seems like being mentioned on national television seems to qualify it as notable. I agree it is still a bit obscure, but there are many other more obscure articles on wikipedia. Why argue over this one when it HAS been mentioned on national television. Probably a few hundred thousand people heard it announced on the TV. It is true that probably reletivly few have taken it to heart, but there is a group. And since it was mentioned on comedy central, I think it is notable enough for wikipedia. IMO. -- QuintusMaximus 12:49, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Quintus, please, provide some references. Trying to argue in favor of it without providing evidence is futile, we need reliable sources for this. If you can't do this, I hate to say, it won't survive. --Dennisthe2 20:27, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • gosh, and I thought it came from unencyclopedia. Part Deux 09:15, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I keep forgetting to reg there. You're going to have to copy&paste the article history if it's about to be deleted, otherwise your link to the article isn't enough under the GFDL (seeing as users can not click on it and see said history). -- Consumed Crustacean (talk) 09:20, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • By all means crosspost it whereever you want, i wont mind, but I really dont think its very respectful to delete our work on wikipedia..., so please consider this carfully and take off those tags at the top of the page... Thanks QuintusMaximus 09:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmm since there seems to be some disagreement, maybe i should add a reason. I dont know anyone who celebrates this day, but I did see the episode of the Daily Show which they say inspired this holidy, and I must say i'm not surprised. If this really is a holiday with different people who observe it, i think it deserves a place here on wikipedia... DirtyJoe 09:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:NOTABLE, WP:RS. A small group of friends does not make a holiday notable. Build up some notability, maybe by starting a popular and notable website (as occurred in the cases you folks keep giving), then try again after that. -- Consumed Crustacean (talk) 09:54, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, we're getting somewhere here: at least we know where this came from: it is indeed from the Daily Show: [1]. That being said, too bad. It's not notable yet. You can argue til your face turns blue, but until it becomes a widespread pheneomenon with reliable sources, you're outta luck. Part Deux 10:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • You just sound like a real exclusionist, if it was announced on national television, it deserves a place on wikipedia! -- QuintusMaximus 12:04, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Like I said before, provide reliable sources and we'll change our minds. Just saying that it was announced on national television is not enough. What network/channel/country talked about it? Can you provide more than one source? --Dennisthe2 20:27, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, We have posted our source. It was on the daily show, on comedy central, in the USA. A link to a clip of that moment is now posted on the discussion page for this article. Please take a look. Here is a copy of the link i posted there [2] -- QuintusMaximus 23:07, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was on The Daily Show... with all due respect, where is it documented that The Daily Show is even conceivably a reliable source?! Putting it on a comedy show doesn't make it notable - and that's pretty much what The Daily Show is. Be that as it may, I'm changing my vote - to Strong Delete with prejudice. PUt a fork in it, I'm done. --Dennisthe2 23:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Terence Ong 10:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above (WP:NFT etc.). When it will be celebrated some times (say, at least once) and will get some renown, one will be glad to reconsider it. --Goochelaar 10:21, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I find it very hard to believe this is legit.--UsaSatsui 11:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as either a hoax or non-notable. Being mentioned in a TV comedy gag does not infer notability and does not mean the thing actually exists. Hut 8.5 13:06, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Neo-holiday.--Húsönd 17:26, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, nn neologism. KillerChihuahua?!? 17:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. 33 Google hits, all of which are trivial. Newly invented/neologism holiday. Michaelas10 (Talk) 18:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete Even their Facebook group only has 2 members. If, after the event happens, it gets enough media attention and notoriety to meet Wikipedia notability criteria, then write an article. Nathanm mn 19:54, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No references. --Dennisthe2 20:27, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Vote changed to strong delete, see my commentary above. --Dennisthe2 00:00, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete as unsourced, immature, nonnotable and offensive (the last of these is not a deletion rule, but I can't help throwing fuel on the fire). YechielMan 20:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete per all above stupid up made event not funny guys or girls at allOo7565 21:55, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per all above. Tom H 22:17, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:NFT.-- danntm T C 22:19, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete Clearly something made up by two people from facebook. Non-notable, because there's no actual holiday. Also quite stupid. Where exactly do they plan to live once earth is gone? --TommyOliver 22:39, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is only partly serious, but it *is* a real holiday, announced on national television, and being organized. It may be stupid in your opinion, but that doesn't detroy its merit to stay on wikipedia. -- QuintusMaximus 23:02, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Respectfully submitted, it is not a serious holiday. They know that they'd be screwed royally if the earth just up and left some day. If someday it becomes more than a facetious novelty, it can be on Wikipedia. But right now, it's just silly ^_^ --TommyOliver 23:35, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Stong delete - unsourced nonsense. – Tivedshambo (talk) 22:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - as amusing as I find this, it seems to be nonsense-DESU 23:11, 28 January 2007(UTC)

Alright, I suppose if this many people dont want it up here it doesn't stand a chance... so we dont drag this argument out, just go ahead and delete the page... -- QuintusMaximus 00:45, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Thank you. We need the earth ^_^ Earth = Good --TommyOliver 01:01, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
