section deletion[edit]

Please state your resons clearly why a section referenced from a reliable source must be deleted. Please notice that the AfD yoiu cited is about a different term not mentioned here. - Altenmann >t 05:41, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The AfD I referred to was for an article on the same topic: the supposed renaming of Easter and Easter-related traditions to Spring-whatever. In that case we could find no reliable, 3rd party sources to confirm this and concluded it was original research. This section is similar - the cite is merely an isolated example, we can not conclude from it that "Secularists in the United States attempted to promote the religion-neutral term spring egg hunt."

The source is cited in the text you are trying to delete. If you disagree with one sentence,we may discuss it. "Isolated example" is not isolated. - Altenmann >t 01:40, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I´d like to explain that the Easter custom of the egg hunt was probably first introduced to America in the early 1800s by German immmigrants who brought with them to the new country the old tradition of the Easter Bunny.85.91.95.244 (talk) 10:47, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
