:::There is still not much that doesn't show that this article is better off in Wiktionary than Wikipedia. The article in Birmingham Mail just cites vague rumors about its origins. Unless a clear history of the concept can be found, it doesn't require a standalone article. [[User:Zxcvbnm|ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ]] ([[User talk:Zxcvbnm|ᴛ]]) 10:57, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' – Concurring with {{u|Hobit}}. Subject ''is'' notable, despite the article [[WP:ASZ|being short]]. Certainly needs some cleanup to provide additional RS, however, arguments for deletion appear to focus too centrally on a [[WP:LONGTIME]] fallacy. Article contents do not dictate notability, the subject does, for which GNG is met... at least to my eye. [[User:Babegriev|Bgv.]] ([[User talk:Babegriev|talk]]) 10:29, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' My main issue with the sources posted is that they fail reliability and independence standards. The 3 news sources are based upon the article from the [https://nationaltoday.com/opposite-day/ National Today] website, which makes dubious claims that I couldn't verify (e.g. Eisenhower declared August 17th opposite day. That'd be a really cool origin story if there were a single reliable independent source about it). Doing my own [[WP:BEFORE]] I couldn't find any reliable sources discussing the holiday in any detail other than the obvious "here's some ideas of what to do on opposite day." While it's a commonly used phrase, that doesn't justify a Wikipedia article per [[WP:NOTDICT]]. [[User:Qwaiiplayer|Qwaiiplayer]] ([[User talk:Qwaiiplayer|talk]]) 14:04, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
