I don't think Columbus' "finding" is ever mentioned. "Hispanic Day" is a relatively new term. Most peopel call the day "el Día del Pilar". El Pilar being the patroness of Spain. I think this page needs to be researched some more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gsaindon ( talk • contribs) 02:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
There's nothing that's reliably cited in this article that doesn't reappear at Columbus Day which discusses all Columbus celebrations in all countries. Perhaps some more material can be added over there, but there's no reason to keep this a separate article.-- Cúchullain t/ c 06:57, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
After nearly a year with no citations added, I have redirected the article back to Columbus Day, where all the international Columbus celebrations are discussed. One user above suggested that "Hispanic Day" has a different scope than the Columbus celebrations of the Americas, but there is nothing in the article to suggest this is the case (let alone any citation of a reliable source that would corroborate it). As the article says, Hispanic Day "commemorates the exact date of 1492 when Christopher Columbus first set a foot in America." If anyone is interested in expanding the article, they will need to track down reliable sources discussing the day, and explain why the material needs its own article.-- Cúchullain t/ c 13:14, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
I was bold and moved the page to Fiesta Nacional de España, as it was clear that the various problems I have raised are not going to be addressed. As I showed at the AfD, the name "Hispanic Day" is not only associated with Spain (or even October 12). If Spain's national day is to have its own article, that title is inappropriate. Of course this still leaves the glaring sourcing issues.-- Cúchullain t/ c 20:33, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
I've done a bit of a re-write, to clarify the link, or not, with the Columbus Day/Dia de la Raza celebration in Latin America. I think the Fuller comment about there being various national days in the past, and this being part of the reconciliation process in Spain today, would benefit with being expanded, but I can't find anything about it. Does anybody know any more? Moonraker12 ( talk) 17:37, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
PS Should this be moved to "National Day (Spain)"? Moonraker12 ( talk) 17:40, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
National Day of Spain is the literal translation of the Spanish festivity "Dia Nacional de Espana". In their national day, the Spaniards celebrate their existence, history and common future. The discovery of America is only a chapter in Spanish history. Getting Wikipedia's "National Day of Spain" to redirect it to "Columbus Day" is not just an unacceptable nonsense from any point of view but a serious manipulation of the content and meaning of the real festivity in Spain. Columbus Day is mainly celebrated by Italians and in the US to commemorate the Genovese navigator's exploit and give value to the Italian-Americans' contribution to the construction and development of the United States. Spain has never celebrated a "Columbus Day". The redirection of the National Day of Spain to Columbus Day shall stop and have its own content.

Fiesta Nacional de España → National Day of Spain – Most articles about foreign holidays are given their English titles here; see Public holidays in Spain, Public holidays in Italy, etc. National Day of Spain is currently a redirect to this article, but IMO it should be the article title.

Apologies if this is incorrectly stated, I'm rather new to deep edits on Wikipedia. In its current status, the article in my opinion has serious issues with its tone both in terms of lack of neutrality when discussing Spanish colonialism, and a heavy domination of aesthetic writing, being written rather more like a travel blog than an impartial encyclopedia entry. The problem is particularly pronounced in the section "Spanish Culture". As an example of tone issues:
"Then, over two thousand years of viniculture are sure to harmoniously pair those meals with a good wine produced in virtually any corner of the Spanish countryside. Spanish people do know how to celebrate around the table, and they do so especially on October 12."
I'm unable to rewrite it at this time as I'm unfamiliar with the subject matter, but I wished to flag the topic. I'll place a mention on the main page as well to flag editors who might stop by. 213.55.221.88 ( talk) 13:33, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
