"White Friday is not actually a holiday..." Enough said. →Σ τ c. 21:45, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete "Sourced" to a blog called "whitefridaysales", and as far as I know I'm working the Friday before Thanksgiving along with the rest of the country (and I would think people would want to work that day to get money for the holiday season). SEO-packed bollocks, and an outright theft of content from The Bergen Record. Nate • (chatter) 21:59, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Is there an online source that will prove that this is a copyright violation? - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 08:02, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Check article source 2, second paragraph; it's definitively taken verbatim without one variation or paraphrase. Nate • (chatter) 08:39, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The only relevant source provided is a blog which has had only one post in its history -- about as far from a reliable source as one could get. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:09, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Strongest possible delete. The article says that White Friday is "the Friday before Thanksgiving Day in the United States." Guess what? That was today (yesterday UTC). And nobody recognized it as White Friday. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:18, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete. Failed WP:NEO. Fails WP:GNG. I'm frankly hoping that a WP:SNOWstorm will bury "White Friday". If it somehow survives, then body of article should be changed to reflect what Ghits show--that term is mostly proposed by various bloggers as their cutey-pie alternative name for "Black Friday". --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 23:42, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Hobbes. Zero reliable coverage, zero claim to notability under the article's own terms. WP:SNOW might be appropriate here. JFHJr (㊟) 01:29, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't think this qualifies as a copyright violation, else I would have speedily deleted it; there's an attempt to reference the source in the paragraph mentioned above, which is a quotation from an unrelated story. This remains a non-notable neologism. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 18:46, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
