Semi-protected edit request on 14 February 2014

Please add Korea

In Korea, Valentine's day is called Valentine's day and it is celebrated in much the same manner as in the West. Also, there is "White Day" where a month later (3/14) females give male in the same manner as Valentine's day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Day

Cillment, do you have a source we can cite? --NeilN talk to me 18:20, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, we already have Valentine's_Day#.C2.A0Republic_of_Korea. --NeilN talk to me 18:22, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Spain

Please, in the section regarding Spain, remove the part of Catalonia, San Jordi has nothing to do with Valentines Day, as the rose/book is a gift to family and friends, not only to lovers. Either that, or you should add many other similar festivities that take place in other regions like Asturias, Valencia, Balearic and Canary Islands, and so on.

 Lebanon

In Lebanon, due to a strong french influence, and the influence of the Maronites, Valentine's Day is celebrated by most people despite their religious background, In much the same way as other western countries. Hasan Kheireddine (talk) 15:22, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hasan Kheireddine, Do you have a source we can cite? --NeilN talk to me 18:15, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

NeilN, I couldn't find impartial, statistical sources, however here are some articles that partially support the edit.

Edition request for Valentine's day in BRAZIL, it needs a correction

Please edit the part where it states that in Brazil there is Valentin's day, there is no suich a thing, it is called DIA DOS NAMORADOS (day of the of those in love, boyfriend/girlfriend) on June 12 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.32.151.166 (talk) 17:59, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

" For Brazil's Dia de São Valentim, see Dia dos Namorados." "In Brazil, the Dia de São Valentim is recognized on June 12." What's the issue? --NeilN talk to me 18:12, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dia de São Valentim is on February 14 for brazilians, but we just don't celebrate it. Dia dos Namorados (Lover's day) is celebrated on June 12. Please edit it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.50.48.128 (talk) 09:35, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed move to "Saint Valentine's Day"

Throughout the article, "Saint Valentine's Day" is preferred over "Valentine's Day" therefore I propose that in accordance with the rest of the article the page "Valentine's Day" is moved to "Saint Valentine's Day". I ask an administrator to oblige and to move this page. Arfæst! 00:52, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, as it is now commonly known at Valentine's Day. This is shown in the section covering current customs and practices. --NeilN talk to me 05:42, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, Valentine's Day is the commonly used name. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:43, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Totally agree. When I came here, I expected the article's first sentence as currently written, laying out all widely recognized forms of the name of the day. However, the English name of the holiday is its name, "Saint Valentine's Day," even in the Infobox, for example (looking at a mis-matched Infobox and title does strain the eyes a bit). I feel that colloquialisms do not belong in an article's title, but are very appropriate and helpful for re-directs (sometimes I think that is why they were born). I was wondering idly if I would make the same proposal when I came across Arfæst's.  —Aladdin Sane (talk) 23:01, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Comments

The question is whether or not the page should be known as Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Day. A previous discussion was held on this page entitled 'Proposed move to "Saint Valentine's Day"'. Arfæst Ealdwrítere 23:27, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
