Following from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of food months and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of food weeks, this is the last in the series. Same concerns as with other: the concept of a food day seems to be a wiki invention. This article has many refs, but nothing jumps out as meeting WP:LISTN. Perhaps it could be renamed and rescued, and even merged with the two deleted articles (which can be easily restored to anyone's draft), as a List of food-related holidays or a List of food-related events (or food-and-drink?), but first, someone needs to find sources that would help this meet LISTN. Otherwise, this is just a list of trivia, mixing Fat Thursday with the Nutella Day, International Vegan Day, Africa Day for Food and Nutrition Security and so on. Interesting grouping, however, and I wouldn't mind seeing it saved. Can anyone help? I'll end by saying thsat my BEFOFE shows many low reliability lists (ex. thos one) but the key word is "low reliability". The best I can offer is Atlas Obscura article on Japanese food holidays: [1]. Can we salvage something here? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:20, 9 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep if sufficiently cleaned up. There are some notable items listed here but it is only a weak keep because maybe a category would be just as good as a way to group them. Also, all the cruft has to go. Every food day that does not have an article, or a substantial section in another article, needs to go. (If it has an article in another language Wikipedia then that might be OK.) Anything that is not actually a food day needs to go. Almost all the pictures need to go. External links in the tables need to go. Are tables even the best format for this? -- DanielRigal ( talk) 17:28, 9 August 2022 (UTC) reply
I've been trying to clean up some obvious rubbish without being too gung-ho as I don't want to prejudge the outcome here. One thing I spotted is that days related things like veganism are not really food days in the sense of days dedicated to a particular food or drink. These are partially on-topic. Should we separate those out into their own section or remove them entirely? DanielRigal ( talk) 16:01, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply
Estabilishing inclusion criteria woul help, and IMHO limiting ourselves to just "days" is wrong. Per my comments at weeks and months article, the concept of "food-related holiday/observance" would likely make more sense.
