I don't see how one computer program result can confer notability on a single date. Prod was contested; borderline speedyable, perhaps. OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:35, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Some guy made a program on some computer, input some indiscriminate data, and somehow concluded that this particular day was boring, and it was even reported on some other guys blog. Sounds perfectly reasonable. Not particularly notable however. Delete Dennis Brown (talk) 21:40, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This story was picked up on by the press in the UK but it is just a silly-season story used to fill space and amuse. It has no real intellectual or encyclopaedic value. There might be a place for mentioning it somewhere in Wikipedia (perhaps in the article on boredom), provided it is referenced to a reliable secondary source, but it does not justify an article of its own. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:44, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. It's gotten some mention in popular culture - it was featured in this Sunday's Luann (comic strip) by Greg Evans - but nothing major. Bearian (talk) 21:50, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The newspapers of the world didn't shut down on April 11, 1954 due to a lack of news to report. The topic of this article is far less notable than the events of that day. Cullen328 (talk) 21:53, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, it is completely unencyclopedic. Maybe find a way to work it into the main article on April 11, but I can't really see how. BurtAlert (talk) 22:48, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: A stint as a news filler. Joe Chill (talk) 01:05, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Events-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 14:32, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Not sure about the blog source being a RS, but if this was reported elsewhere by RSs, then the info should be in the April 11 and 1954 articles. Mjroots (talk) 07:31, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Dennis Brown. -- Joaquin008 (talk) 14:52, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
