There is no evidence or source provided for the existance of this holiday. I've been involved in the realm of technology nearly my entire life and never have heard of this. --Lysol 19:42, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)
- I have read about it somewhere, but was it this Wikipedia article or some other place? Googling for "Programmer's Day" -Wikipedia 256 returns 17 hits, including a few weblogs and an electronic version of a Latvian IT magazine [1]. So, it's not a fabrication but might be quite obscure. Delete because of obscurity. Andris 19:56, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not a vehicle for social change of this sort. Further, this is by no means notable. Delete.
- So this holiday exists, and the fact that it's obscure isn't a good argument to delete it, in my opinion. My vote is Keep. --positron 23:11, 2004 Sep 12 (UTC)
- Keep. I celebrate this with my friends/neighbours/coworkers, its a lot of fun. obscurity should be no reason for deletion. Applegoddess 01:18, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. God doesn't exist either and he gets a big article.Lmno 13:08, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: Obscurity is, in fact, a perfect reason to delete it. Encyclopedic content is of notable items. If no one knows about this but the blogosphere, then it's not appropriate for Wikipedia. By all means, though, the folks at Everything2 will want to know about it. There are many places on the Internet to write about it. An online encyclopedia is not. Geogre 02:40, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. No one's paying me to stay home that day. Denni☯ 03:50, 2004 Sep 13 (UTC)
- Delete. What Geogre said. Also, something that's a significant part of hacker culture ought to get more Google hits than this does. —Triskaideka 04:55, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, if reference provided. - pir 10:07, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

- Delete. I don't believe it exists in any meaningful sense. I've sent my system administator an e-card on System Admin's Day, but have never heard of "Programmer's day". Only 150 Google hits and a lot of them irrelevant ("hi i am student in usa i was just curious how does an average programmers day goes by", "For system design, smart card project manager, engineers and programmers, day 1 of the training serves as a foundation and overview"...)

- Keep Part of silly hacker culture, but so what?
Redirect to hacker culture, with its own section. It seems to me that a lot of deletion occurs around here, where a simple merge and redirect to an appropriate article is possible. func(talk) 18:49, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. I can't find any reliable confirmation on this thing's existence, (and I apologize for voting without looking it up in the first place). func(talk) 15:34, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

- Keep I further propose that wikipedia be renamed to triviapedia and nominate Trivial Pursuit as the official game of triviapedia. The Steve 00:01, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. I bothered to vote on this one only because of the barrage of phony "Keep" votes. If the time spent trying to stuff the ballot box had been spent researching and writing a legitimate argument for retention, this might've had a chance. JamesMLane 03:42, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Non-encyclopedic. SWAdair | Talk 04:16, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Probably my vote is unnecessary but we have recently seen votes from what seemed to be equally obvious sock puppets being counted. Jallan 21:29, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
