Lackluster page. Very short. No sources. Not even any information. The Ninja5 Empire (Talk) 10:21, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
The intention is to create structured sites for all World prayer days including:[reply]
- title
- country
- flag
- information about attendance and other materials
and to have these articles be based on Wikidata items
This first article was created by me to show that it would in principle be possible to create such pages (if only there would not be the stricter deletion policies of these days which kill such articles shortly after birth :-(

- Comment - Every year there is a lot of activity around these days. Looking at newspapers.com [1], this extends back to 1932, indeed back to 1887. I think an article suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia could be written for most (all?) of the individual days. However, the creation of an article like this with little or no attempt to show the page's notability and to use reliable sources and the suggestion that dozens more such articles may soon be built is a bit disruptive. I strongly endorse working on these articles in user or draft space one at a time. There is no minimum for a valid stub, check out Wikipedia:Your first article for some advice and consider Wikipedia:Articles for creation for your first articles to get more feedback as you get started. Feel free to ask for adice (I'm happy to help, also consider the Wikipedia:Teahouse). If the author is interested in moving this page (and the other similar pages) to user or draft space, I endorse that. Smmurphy(Talk) 15:56, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
