  • WP:PROD by Graeme Bartlett, and now redirected to a sourced section in another article by PamD. There may yet be disagreement about how best this article/redirect should be handled, but a DRV wasn't really necessary to start with and certainly is now not a productive venue to carry that discussion out. ~ mazca talk 17:46, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply

The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it.
Substitute holiday (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (restore
)

The content of the page, although short, contain more than simple dicdef that was accused to be the only content on the page when the original proposed deletion request was written, which I believe was not an accurate description of the original content on the page. A simple dicdef would mean it only explain what is a substitute holiday. But the page did more than that, as it have also explained how those substitute holiday are arranged in calendar by different countries or government that implement such system.

Endorse. The entire text of the article consisted of, Substitute holiday, compensate holiday or make up holiday refer to holidays created due to overlapping of some other holidays. In most of the cases, it happens because a holiday with a fixed date occur on weekends which is also holiday in most of the world.. It had been tagged as having no sources for five years. Surely in the five years since it was tagged, or the seven days since it was proposed for deletion, you could have found some sources? -- RoySmith (talk) 18:50, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The original reason for the deletion proposal was that it is dicdef, not because it have no source, so I didn't attempted to resolve that issue during that period of time. If the article can be preserved by adding sources in then I could do that. C933103 (talk) 20:05, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Both reasons apply. RoySmith-Mobile (talk) 21:00, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No objection to the redirect. RoySmith-Mobile (talk) 21:01, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@C933103: now that this has been restored, the onus is on you to bring it up to standards. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:45, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have added a short new sourced section at Holiday#Substitute_holidays, and redirected the above article to it. PamD 17:20, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
