Made-up holiday with no reliable sources worth speaking of. Was Prod'ed, but tag removed with the addition of references equally problematic. Chase's Calendar of Events 2001?

•It is worth mentioning that my interest in Bonza Bottler Day is more than frivolous. I frequently use the history, purpose and uses of the event as a case study when teaching university courses at the college and undergraduate levels, professional seminars, and educational talk shows about business and public affairs, and in articles that – although published in blogs – have been cited elsewhere and elicited favorable - in some cases, grateful - responses.

Please note also that, despite the existence of greeting cards and a variety of directories, almanacs, calendars, and written and online media about Bonza Bottler Day, Wikipedia:Bonza Bottler Day was the source for the “Best Answer - Chosen by Asker” when an Australian submitted a copy of the article in response the Ask Yahoo! question: [ [2]] and here [ What is Bonza Bottler Day?].

Bonza bottler day. If "Bonza bottler day" is kept, we should also discuss merging the creator's articles with this one.

As a newbie on Wikipedia I have addressed the Bonza Bottler Day deletion and now wish to do the same with Elaine Fremont. As I knew Elaine but lost touch with her over the years, I was glad to find a reference using her name. I originally read of her holiday and it's title in our local paper but also learned of Elaine's death from an automobile accident. Consequently, I was so shaken by her passing that I forgot the title. I recently searched on the web and was able to find reference and the information that I sought. Therefore, I request that this information remain for others to locate and understand the history and purpose of the holiday. I feel I should add, Elaine was a friend from church - not a friend of a friend or any of the sort. A real, flesh and blood, lovely girl that Lisa Tolliver has referenced and whom I personally knew. Elaine had a great sense of humor and would probably be laughing at Carlton's blunt and callous desire to eliminate something that he/she obviously has difficulty in understanding. Lighten up - smile - enjoy life and next month - celebrate Sept. 9 / Bonza Bottler Day with a box of cookies and surprise the office with a smile! -- DKnebel 03:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC) User's third edit -- the first two being to Talk:Bonza bottler day reply
Several issues seem inappropriate and inconsistent about this entire discussion. ONE: Bonza bottler day lists more external links and references - including those above which are reliable - than multiple Wikipedia [Humorous observances] and [Hallmark holiday] articles that have neither been marked as Afd nor the subjected to heated contraversy such as this. Consistency with regard to RELIABILITY OF SOURCES would dictate that the those become Afd too. TWO: Consistency with regard to NOTABILITY would dictate that ALL [Humorous observances] and some [Hallmark holiday]s be deleted or that Bonza Bottler Day not be deleted. 199.97.121.99 20:14, 9 August 2006 (UTC) reply
