Trivia
editI don't think that an episode of Naruto is noteworthy. Would someone take care of that since the page is protected?171.161.160.10 19:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Done. -- Borameer ™ 15:22, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Intelsat 708 satellite pictures
editI don't think these pictures are necessary on the date page. They don't add anything useful to the description of the event. I have removed them. Grouf(talk • contribs) 16:13, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Great Ormond Street
editWhat is the source for the first patient being admitted on the 15 February 1852? Everything I can find on the website talks about opening on Valentines day. Thryduulf (talk)
Removal of entries
editI've removed from the births section of this article:
- Musicians who don't even have entries in a "Year in Music" article.
- Tennis players who've never had a top 100 world ranking.
- Minor celebrities who don't have multiple wikipedia articles in other languages.
I don't think any of these can be considered to be of international significance. Deb (talk) 13:12, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Birth and death entries
editContinuing the ongoing effort to reduce the size of the Births and Deaths sections to make them manageable, I've removed some celebrities with few or no articles in other wikipedias, moving the entries to the appropriate Year in Topic article if they were not already present. This is in accordance with the guidelines.Deb (talk) 19:13, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
Noticed last year that somebody thought it necessary to label a number of people as "Jewish" even if it had no bearing at all on what that person had accomplished. Does it really matter if an actor or noted doctor was Jewish? NO IT DOESN'T. To me it reeked of anti-semitism and I am not even Jewish. Most of the "Jewish" listings have already been removed since last year at this time, but I saw no more than a half dozen for this day's entry and I have removed them. Don't like it? Too bad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:A9B0:5270:5899:7E88:9733:9CC9 (talk) 07:27, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
Re: "Jewish" - They're baaack! Stuartkau (talk) 19:21, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
Hey Editors or whatever you people are called, how about unprotecting the page for a little bit to get rid of the "Jewish" labels that some jerk put back in again. As I stated above in 2018, unless it really has something to do with their accomplishments, and being a well known Rabbi is the only thing I can think of where it would matter, labeling these people as Jewish makes no damn difference and is probably the work of anti-semites and doesn't belong here! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:A9B0:527F:F522:82AC:4BE2:5E12 (talk) 07:27, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
St Vardan?
editWhy is St Vardan mentioned on this day? The Wiki article of saints of the Armenian Apostolic Church lists him on this date for last year. The article on the man says his date moves, and this article gives different dates (including a different date for last year) https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/armenia/saint-vartan-feast --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 16:18, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Richardson mcphillips -- It doesn't belong on any specific date, as per article:
"[C]ommemoration day in the official Armenian Church calendar is usually in the month of February and on very rare occasions may fall in the first week of March. The actual Saint Vardan day is a moving day, as it always has to fall on Thursday..." Quis separabit? 16:43, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

International Childhood Cancer Day
editSuggest this should have its own page. At the moment, it has a section on the International Society of Pediatric Oncology page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annasdottir (talk • contribs) 12:48, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Annasdottir: It needs an article to be included. No redlinks or redirects, please. Thanks. Quis separabit? 22:04, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
