Merging the two pages is a great idea. However, the complete title of the "List of observances in the United States" is "List of observances in the United States by presidential proclamation". The long introduction on that page speaks all about the presidential proclamation process. However, since the creation of that page, contributors have polluted its list with observances of all types anywhere in there United States, including those by specific religions and those by specific states, which observances were never proclaimed by a president of the United States. At this point, that page should either 1. be relabeled as "List of miscellaneous United States observances" and all the references to presidential proclamations should be deleted, or 2. the presidential observances on that page should be merged with this page, similar to what has been suggested, and the congressional column in the table should allow for either the link to the Congressional document (as is currently the usage) or the name of the president who proclaimed it, and all of the non-presidential proclamations and non-congressional established observances should be moved to a new wiki page to be entitled, "List of United States observances not established by a president or Congress". That new page can then be used to buy any contributor in the future to add any observances they become aware of that were not established by a president or Congress. Between the three resulting pages, all United States observances could be represented in an orderly fashion. Mjwilkin9 (talk) 21:31, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
