List not useful as it is terribly incomplete despite having been around for more than 2 years. Per first nomination, at best it would become a linkfarm.

Note - the link to the previous AfD isn't showing up the way I thought it would. It is located here.PK T(alk) 16:44, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I agree we can delete this one. --Kumioko (talk) 18:44, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Why? I'm a bit confused. I don't see "useful" or "incomplete despite having been around for more than 2 years" as criteria to delete at WP:AFD. I do find those under Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Based solely on the fact that the nominator has failed to provide us with a rationale for deletion, I don't have any choice but to say KEEP. I might also add that "We can delete this one" isn't a criteria or lack thereof as well. Dennis Brown (talk) 18:51, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, how about Unencyclopedic? --Kumioko (talk) 18:56, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply That is also listed under Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions as a non-rationale, but thanks for playing! Dennis Brown (talk) 19:03, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete article attempt that never got off the ground and was a pretty bad idea to begin with: all but the tiniest villages do a street fair or something for Labor Day, so if this was complete it would list about 95% of the communities in the country. The notable and verifiable ones belong in the Labor Day article. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:29, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Starblind. I agree that we don't need a list of this magnitude as there are hundreds of thousands of celebrations for Labor Day, but only a select few notable ones that belong in the main article. Tavix | Talk 21:09, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
