I don't think there is no need to have a separate list article for this. This list may not be needed as we have List of holidays by country. I also Afded List of apologies to China which is another list article that may not be needed. Abishe (talk) 13:26, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Appears to be original research. Also very incomplete. Ajf773 (talk) 18:57, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Surprised keep. The Telegraph,[1] The Toronto Star,[2] ABC News[3] and Business Insider[4] have all compiled such lists (though they don't agree with this one). Clarityfiend (talk) 20:42, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  I don't think it's particularly surprising. Here in the UK it's commonly remarked that we have fewer such holidays than most other countries. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:17, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete — Doesn't belong in an encyclopedia.--Jack Upland (talk) 01:31, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• keep reliable sources have been found. The article could benefit from listing the days and names of these holidays. Dream Focus 22:29, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:RS WP:NEXIST Lightburst (talk) 22:11, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep as meets GNG. It does sound like something a journalist would write about when they are bored, but nevertheless there is something to write about here. J947 ^(c), at 00:29, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Conditional keep only if this AFD is closed by a person during an official holiday in their country.^[FBDB] –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 05:53, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  In all seriousness, I'm leaning keep but it's practically a coin flip at this point. This thing has a bit too much WP:OR to be salvageable at the moment. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 05:56, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and expand - Clarityfiend demonstrates it meets WP:LISTN. Daß Wölf 19:05, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
