- Keep. No Jimbo-proclaimed holidays since 2004? A shame (perhaps he needs reminding!), but not a reason to delete. Mark it {{ historical}} if needs be, but what's the point of deleting it without also deleting e.g. Wikipedia:Brion Vibber Day? The nominated page, and its associated pages, are part of Wikipedia's history. They do no harm, and nothing will be gained by deleting this page or any others like it.

- Tag historical clearly stale but we don't generally delete things because they are inactive and I can't see any particular reason to delete this one. Hut 8.5 20:52, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- Delete or move to a special archive of early WP history. Minimal content. "Pretty useless" (see above) sums it up. -- Klein zach 23:36, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- Keep. Tag "historical" or archive by all means, but do not try to divide project space into past and current. Use the category system for such purposes. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 00:26, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
- Keep. No advantage to deletion, unless the destruction of Wikipedia's history is an advantage. As I understand it, you have wasted more server space by filing this than we gain by deletion. -- Danger ( talk) 04:36, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
- In fact deleting the page wouldn't free up any server space at all, as the contents of deleted pages are still visible to administrators. Hut 8.5 08:51, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
- Keep as historical Seems a tad obvious as no actual grounds for deletion are given. "Useless" is not generally a strong argument, as almost everything at MfD is officially "useless." <g> Collect ( talk) 19:46, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- Keep. No good reason to delete. -- œ ™ 19:50, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Keep, doesn't hurt. Nyttend ( talk) 02:56, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- Keep as historical. It is useless, but it is a (very small) slice of history, with nothing to gain by deleting it. Zangar ( talk) 13:07, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
