His fund raising accomplishment is not a globally notable event. He has no chance of becoming president and he will be forgotten long before the election. The record is only within the GOP party so that means that someone else has done better than him in the democratic party. Neither record would be globally notable. -- Mufka(u)(t)(c)13:10, 6 November 2007 (UTC)reply
Then you can delete it when he's out, but you're no Nostradamus. And it's not true that a Democrat has beaten his record, this is for largest amount collected ONLINE. Do your research... —Preceding

When I made my comment, this is what the event was listed as:
2007 - Republican antiwar presidential candidate Ron Paul raises over $4.2 million dollars in 24 hours to break the record for most money raised in day by a GOP candidate ever.
There is no mention of online in there - I shouldn't have to do research to get an understanding of why something is notable. As it is written "to break the record for most money raised in day" is not terribly significant because the leading democrat raised nearly $6.2 million on June 30. Additional notability does not come from segregating records by party (GOP) because we would next have the record for fund raising by a black, white, women, disabled, brown-haired, Californian, etc. These "records" are insignificant since they will all be broken in the next election (or before the end of this one). It is especially less notable because his campaign didn't even organize it. But back to the question of global notability, how does this affect the price of tea in China? The comment that "you can delete it when he's out" supports the argument that it is not notable enough for inclusion because the fact that he is in or out shouldn't affect the long term notability of the event. In 10 years someone should be looking back and saying "wow, that was a huge accomplishment". -- Mufka(u)(t)(c)15:21, 11 November 2007 (UTC)reply
November 5th, 1955 is the date in the first movie that Marty travels back to after Doc Brown programs the date in, recounting it as "a red letter day in history" (the day he came up with the idea for the Flux Capacitor). This is sometimes referred to as 'Flux Capacitor Day'. Not really Wikipedia article material, but hey, just putting it out there. --

As you say, not really Wikipedia article material. The date is mentioned in the Back To the Future article but no mention is made of "Flux Capacitor Day".
Some morons keep on adding this to the article as if it was a real event. It has been removed enough times that they must know that this is not valid encyclopaedic content and they are clearly just doing it to be annoying. All attempts to add it as if it was a real event should be reverted as vandalism.
There may be a separate, good faith argument for an "In fiction" section with this listed but that would require proof that such a day is actually observed by fans of the film in a notable way. --

How about a November 5th in popular culture section?
