Sources given are two blogs and a definition to the word "scribble". We are not for things made up at school one day. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 04:30, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Possibly, this article could be merged with Yearbook; seeing as how it does seem to be a culturally relevant behavior and is notable. However, the exact name may or may not be "scribbling day." LogicalCreator (talk) 13:38, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not seeing the notability, though. I see a couple of not so reliable sources that talk about it a bit, but this doesn't make the grade, quite frankly. As for relevance, that doesn't really enter into the picture accordingly. Have you read through WP:AADD by any chance? --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 02:49, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral. Nominator's WP:NFT argument seems to be contradicted by the 8000+ Ghits on "scribbling day", the majority of which seem to be for videos, photos, or blog entries concerning this subject. I found and added a 2004 newspaper article that mentions the phenomenon in passing. It seems to be all or mostly an Indian thing, so perhaps there would be more to find in Hindi or other languages. Would feel better about saying "keep", though, if there were a bit more on the WP:RS front. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 12:40, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or Delete. I do not believe that it has the notability to be a seperate entity. However I agree that it may be merged with Yearbook, if it was it would be no more than a single sentence. This page however should certainly not be kept. Joe1000000 (talk) 08:45, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - seems to be a non-notable student custom at possibly only one university. --Salimfadhley (talk) 11:03, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
