Talk:Unbirthday

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Unbirthday is a neologism - Unbirthday (song) puts this into context - Tiswas^(t) 13:52, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Or it might be best to merge it into Through the Looking-Glass or Alice in Wonderland (1951 film) (or somewhere else) if it's not notable enough in its own right. --Stemonitis 17:25, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

In retrospect, merge & redirect would be the way forward and is partially the concensus from the previous AfD - Tiswas^(t) 18:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

The concept of "unbirthday" existed for 80 years before it was a song - it isn't really sensible to make that move. The article makes things clear - there is no need to clarify in the title. If you have to - how about Unbirthday (Lewis Carroll) ? -- Beardo 18:48, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

The problem is whether or not it warrants an article on its own - As a neologism, coined in a work of literature, is it in widespread use, and are there multiple, non-trivial mentions of this - Tiswas^(t) 22:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. --Stemonitis 00:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Use in a Series of Unfortunate Events

I believe the term Unbirthday was used in the "Lemony Snicket" series of books A Series of Unfortunate Events. I believe it was the in the first book, but it has been a long time since I have read any of the series so I may be mistaken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.80.31.195 (talk) 17:14, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

The Disney "unbirthday" song was revived for use by anti-war (Viet Nam) protesters when the draft lotteries (which were based upon men's birthdays) were taking place. WHPratt (talk) 23:03, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Leap Year Birthdays

Also, if the person's birthday is on February 29, there would be 1460 unbirthdays, since leap years happen every four years (except century years not divisible by 400). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allan Bao (talk • contribs) 21:16, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
