I've added back William Firmatus and Mary Euphrasia Pelletier, they have articles and are saints for this day.-- Richardson mcphillips ( talk) 11:48, 24 April 2018 (UTC) reply

Due to a rather high incidents of anonymous IPs vandalising the article, plus the stated intent by one user to add a nonsense holiday to the mix, I feel justified in locking down this page for the time being. If another admin disagrees with this action, feel free to undo the protection. 23skidoo ( talk) 18:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC) reply

I see that the information about the Armenian Genocide was wiped out of this page recently. Consequently, I made the necessary adjustments, but I hope that this does not happen again. -- Davo88 ( talk) 18:15, 23 April 2010 (UTC) reply

Unless there is a discussion, I will remove St Mark's Eve. It is not current, and was not a Christian celebration but cultural.-- Richardson mcphillips ( talk) 11:48, 24 April 2018 (UTC) reply

A year later, with no other commenters, I removed St Mark's Eve. Someone has reverted my deletion. Please discuss here why it should be retained. -- Richardson mcphillips ( talk) 14:29, 25 April 2019 (UTC) reply

ok then I'll remove it.-- Richardson mcphillips ( talk) 17:42, 1 May 2019 (UTC) reply

Would anyone else like to check and see if this meets the criteria for mention? Seems to me it is a private initiative.-- Richardson mcphillips ( talk) 11:59, 24 April 2018 (UTC) reply

seems to me no. It is not official. delenda est -- 2607:FEA8:D5DF:1AF0:AD20:B600:FF9E:4E34 ( talk) 11:41, 11 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Nothing in the linked article indicates that this is a commemoration or holiday. Certainly it isn't in Canada. Suggest it be moved to events. -- Richardson mcphillips ( talk) 12:12, 24 April 2018 (UTC) reply

Should I add the 2021 Josh fight? NutronStar45 -- T / C 04:44, 4 September 2022 (UTC) reply
