Keep Sounds notable to me. For example, take a look at Armitage, Kevin C. (2007) "Bird Day for Kids: Progressive Conservation in Theory and Practice" Environmental History 12(3): pp. 528–551 and "Bird Day for Children: Eight States Have One and New York Educators Want It" New York Times 21 April 1901. It may be that it will be appropriate to merge this article into a future Bird Day article, but he does seem notable. --Bejnar (talk) 06:11, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep i must strenuously objec tot htis nomination., i too have learned the shame of a misguided nominatino and i understand the temptation to pus the issue but Mr Charles Alammanzo Babcock is clearly notable. according htis article, he was influential in the construction of the Bird Day holiday, a prominent and well-respected holiday celebrated around the world. to delete Mr Babcocks article as nondemonstrative of notability, you would also have to delete Santa eastern Bunny, and other holiday-related figures since they do not necessarily automatically emt wp:bio either unless you rad it more closely. I also think that this article shoudl be kept on the grounds of WP:N WP:V Smith Jones (talk) 21:08, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable educator and creator of the United States' first national bird holiday. Multiple, substantial independent reliable source coverage satisfies the notability requirements of WP:BIO. No need to merge into Bird Day, this article can focus on Babcock and his educational perspective rather than on the holiday itself. Baileypalblue (talk) 00:22, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
