Casey Calvert death[edit]

not added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.249.45.250 (talk) 02:31, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Park Soo Jin[edit]

Park Soo Jin redirects to Sugar (Korean band). Although there is no mention of Park Soo Jin's birth date in that article, a Google search produces a number of references that indicate that her birth date is November 27, 1984. I do not know whether that is sufficient to retain her entry in this article. --Dan Dassow (talk) 23:02, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not sufficient. The entry must be the subject of a bio article at a minimum per WP:DOY. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 23:21, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Harry and Meghan[edit]

I don’t know if Harry and Meghan getting engaged counts as a notable event: a couple gets engaged.

But I think the last time a member of the British Royal Family announced getting married to an American divorcee was notorious: I thought I should add it, as our opinions have deeply changed, over the years.

Oh, I wasn’t too sure: but thought I’d add this link: the BBC news announcement.

Put me in the "Whoop-dee-doo" category on this. Congrats to the young couple, but this isn't news worthy for the main page even though she is American. posty (talk) 15:12, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

first Sunday of Advent[edit]

"celebrated on the Sunday nearest to St. Andrew's Day" This is purely a hortological coincidence, but as stated it implies a relationship. Any reason for it to stay? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 17:58, 27 November 2017 (UTC) agreed. It is the 4th Sunday before Christmas. --142.163.195.186 (talk) 12:10, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alexander Dubcek[edit]

Is he not more notable as a politician than as a soldier (at least in the English speaking world)? Jackiespeel (talk) 17:17, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vito[edit]

I’ve removed Vito Genovese: as his article show he was born on the 21st of November. Cuddy2977 (talk) 16:34, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
