PROD was contested by an IP editor. Completely unsourced article that is unlikely to deserve a standalone article, even if sources can be found. MakeSense64 (talk) 07:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The article is written based on a colors set by Muay Thai association, claiming to be astrological rule of Hindu mythology. There are numerous such associations based in various countries coining their own so-called astrological rules. The information is completely unencyclopedic. --Anbu121 (talk me) 17:19, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: OR sourced entirely with in-universe fringe blither of zero encyclopedic value. No reliable sources could ever be found to support the notability of this article, or to provide information to expand it. Delete and flush twice. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 13:24, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Comment: I won't !vote keep, since I'm editing as an IP, but I have to say I find it amusing that readers were able to come off with the idea that this is some arbitrary idea made up by a random boxing organisation rather than a deeply ingrained aspect of Thai culture. I'm also wondering if the editors who failed to find sources had indeed bothered trying at all. The first two pages of Google search results for Thailand day colours reveals this article from Thailand's Ministry of Culture website and this Time Magazine article. If one follows the second link in the EL section to the article on Richard Barrow's blog (which, by the way, is as close to being an RS as blogs can get), he also suggests reading Cornwel-Smith, Philip (2005). Very Thai : everyday popular culture (1st ed.). Bangkok: River Books. ISBN 9789749863008. The subject is covered in a three-page essay in the book. --125.25.15.137 (talk) 17:22, 27 July 2012 (UTC) --101.109.218.176 (talk) 11:51, 31 July 2012 (UTC) (Same person, on a dynamic IP.)[reply]

• KEEP Based on the info above my comment, valid point. --PILTS (talk) 23:10, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment The content in this article describes about list of colors followed only in Thailand. Its not appropriate to have the title as Colors of the day. --Anbu121 (talk me) 03:45, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
