February 5: Constitution Day in Mexico ( 1917)
More anniversaries:

This is not the first Super Tuesday. The only difference is more states were involved. My understanding is that this page is for "significant" events. Adding comments like this makes this page more less trivia rather than historical items. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.31.106.35 ( talk) 14:58, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
It is the largest single-day primary event in the history of the United States. Therefore, notable. Kingturtle ( talk) 16:48, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Asking "does anyone remember that" is a moot point. The purpose of a day-of-the-year article is NOT to jog the memory for nostalgic sake. The purpose is to catalog notable historic events.
Yes, we do sometimes note election days, and yes, we should note this largest ever primary day. This is the first time in 80 years that there is no incumbent candidate for either major party - the first time in 80 years that the field is wide open for both major parties. Therefore, the super tuesday of 2008 is quite significant.
The numbers don't change every year because it is not a yearly occurrence. Kingturtle ( talk) 17:44, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Since there has not been anything notable result from this event, and there are 3 arguments to remove, and only one to keep; I am removing this event. Grouf ( talk • contribs) 19:40, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Well its back. Someone should add that it had no significant impact and 4 weeks later the race goes on. Maybe if Clinton stomps Obama in Pennsylvania we should at that one too. Rlbarton ( talk) 20:51, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I imagine I am loose contructionist when it comes to adding things to day of the year articles while many of you are strict constructionists (as we have seen over the Super Tuesday debate. By my bar, the following events are ok, but according to a strict constructionist sense, the following events are not internationally significant. Can anyone defend the international significance of:

Sorry to harp on this, but according to my standards, the major tornado outbreak should stay, but according to the prevailing standards I don't see how it is internationally notable or significant. Kingturtle ( talk) 00:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I think the line makes the situation unclear. Charles was only recognised as king of Scots, he wasn't crowned until 1/1/1651. At no point during this period was Charles recognised as king of Ireland or England by either of the respective governments. -- BRFC78 ( talk) 17:48, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
I initially had the impression upon reading this that Ruth must be being used as a boy's name (as it sometimes is). I had to click through to find out that she was in fact a woman. There are hardly any women listed in the Births on this page, so it would be nice to make clear when there is one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.139.38.77 ( talk) 21:20, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Aris Christofellis is a male soprano not a tenor and this is immediately reflected on his wikipedia page. Though it's possible he may have sung and recorded as a tenor (which he's perfectly capable of doing!), it is as a soprano that he is best known and celebrated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.61.138.71 ( talk) 19:38, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
I've removed a few of some celebrities on birth lists on articles with a little or no articles in other Wikipedias. If they not notable enough. Thank you Shiesmine ( talk) 15:20, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Late notice, but 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of United Artists by Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin and D. W. Griffith. Any chance we can get it in? Article on UA has some good photos of the four. Moira Paul ( talk) 12:17, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
I am confused as to why my addition of 1961 Hakan Peker, 1962 Jacqui Dankworth, 1975 Adam Carson, 1998 Sara Tomic and 2001 Juan Karlos Labajo under "Births" and 1967 Violeta Parra under "Deaths" was reverted. The WP:Edit summary stated the putative problem as, "please provide WP:RSs per WP:DAYS", but gave no other details. Since none of the names under "Births" and "Deaths" is accompanied by inline cites, it would be inappropriate to append <refNEWSPAPER/MAGAZINE BIRTH NOTICE/OBITUARY/ref> only to these six entries. Thus, a more-detailed explanation of the problem would be helpful. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:27, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

I was not elected by that body, and I have nothing to do with it, or it with me.
Toddst1, regarding the notability of the speech, I'd say it is notable because it is one of the few instances of a Deep South congressman affirming his support for the Union as the country was breaking apart. This speech was when he outlined his intentions and it was widely reported in the national press at the time, and, until his death in 1864, this speech (and the stand he took) were frequently mentioned when Bouligny appeared in the press. Even if the speech itself doesn't meet the notability threshold, it would still be a good date/marker for Bouligny's decision to stand with the Union, which seems to me a notable event. — Carter (Tcr25) ( talk) 12:19, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
In the linked article, it says "Commemoration of Saint Agatha, co-patroness of the Republic after the country was liberated from foreign rule on her feast day in 1740". Nothing about calling it Liberation Day or celebrating it as such. -- 2607:FEA8:FF01:4E54:F09A:3CFC:65BE:BC9 ( talk) 13:12, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
