Needs an article. Google certainly seems to have enough references. Rklawton 04:03, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Masturbation Day
Why does masturbation day keep getting yanked? Yes, on the outside, one might consider it controversial, but the fact is, May 7th is Masturbation Day, May is masturbation month, and yes, it is celebrated all over the san francisco bay area and beyond. Is this not a sight to post facts? I don't understand why this is such a fight. Leave it alone.
Good choice of phraseology - "Why does masturbation day keep getting yanked?" ;). If you can give us an external source of information, we will leave it on the page. Fair? Ck lostsword|queta! 14:40, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Dude, you shouldn't have made that bet.[1][2][3][4][5] Looks like this will be the 11th, er, year. Rklawton 04:55, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- So is it fair to allow this modification. It's masturbation day TODAY and I am putting it in.
- That's fine - I wasn't criticising, just asking for citation. Since that's been provided, we're fine for inclusion. Ck lostsword|queta! 17:21, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Since it's not a national or significant religious holiday, it won't be permitted in this article. The date project page supercedes any talk page discussion here. Rklawton 15:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Who says? What standards department regulates what gets celebrated by who and where? Radio day isn't a day I celebrate. It's not a national holiday for the US, but noone is deleting it. A community in America celebrates a day, hell, an entire month. Who are you to say who recognises this day or not? If it were not of "questionable subject" then you wouldn't care, but here you are deleting it. Leave it alone. It's factual and cited. What more do you need? Coreyfro
This is abitt off topic, but apparently there is a "Boob-Grab day" I dont know if the people older than me were just kidding to grab hold of each other in public or if it is real or not.Hope. 22:54, 1 July 2006 (UTC)hope.
