Hey Day

Even the only WP:RS cited states that it is an event that holds no interest beyond the school community. Just plain not notable. Gtwfan52 (talk) 02:10, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~. The RS says it may appear frivolous to outsiders, not that it "holds no interest beyond the school community". Add the word "Penn" to the search links in the header above and there's a large amount of interest in the Philadelphia press (though skip the Daily Pennsylvanian, which is the student newspaper), along with non-local sources including:

"Penn modifies ritual to avoid hazing label". Pittsburg Post-Gazette. April 14, 2007.
"Heyday Celebrated at Pennsylvania; Students Elected to Junior and Senior Honor Societies and Undergraduate Council". New York Times. May 18, 1929. (paywalled but appears to be a whole article about Hey Day)

Keep or redirect. Dricherby (talk) 07:54, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Student life at the University of Pennsylvania#Hey Day. Even if it gets some local press, that doesn't make it independently notable, though it can certainly be covered as part of another article, and there's already 2 paragraphs here. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:18, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Redirect would be good with the nominator also. Gtwfan52 (talk) 03:40, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
