Move

The article has been moved back from World Cosmonautics Day to just Cosmonautics Day, which is common name. GreyHood ^Talk 15:36, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In Russia it is "Всемирный день космонавтики", and now this status accepted by UNO. Russia is first space country, not United States, and it's fact that can't be disputed.--Soul Train (talk) 08:00, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

merge from International Day of Human Space Flight

Basically same holiday, the other article is a minuscule stub, nothing to read and write. - üser:Altenmann >t 05:19, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The International Day is a United Nations declared holiday, which augments Cosmonautics Day. Two different topics, and highlighting one name over the other on Wikipedia would do a disservice to the other, so keeping the two articles separate seems the accurate way to go.

Closed, given that discussion is stale with opposition not refuted. Klbrain (talk) 12:11, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Yuri's Night

Essentially the same holiday celebrating the same thing. —Entropy ^(talk) 22:38, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Technically "Yuri's Night" is not celebrated anywhere as a holiday. It is more of a global event hosted by various groups of people. While it does celebrate Yuri's flight just like Cosmonautics day, it was designed to encompass more than that and celebrate all human spaceflight due to April 12 being both the date of Yuri's flight and the first shuttle flight, STS-1. I run global media for Yuri's Night (so you know where this info comes from). Rack88 (talk) 17:41, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, given that no support and uncontested opposition. Klbrain (talk) 12:13, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
