Talk:Cyber Black Friday/Archives/2014

Merge discussion

I disagree with merging it. Cyber Monday was created by Shop.org in 2005. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are different shopping events.

Are they really two separate events, or is the date of Cyber Monday just starting to migrate to Friday? I see this as two branches of the same concept, which is the online equivalent of Black Friday (shopping). —C.Fred (talk) 20:27, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Since when is inventing a term and marketing the hell out of it become a Wikipedia worthy entry? Seriously, should "You're safe in Allstate's hands" be an article because they market it? Personally, I don't think EITHER of these articles should be in Wikipedia, period, and certainly not TWO articles. 206.190.243.82 (talk) 18:48, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't be against pushing these even as merged with the regular "Black Friday" entry. They are all basically a logical extension of the same concept. They are noteworthy, but could be integrated into the main "Black Friday" entry as "notable evolutions" along with the 3 and 4 day sales, and various evolutions in the measurement of the business that takes place on Black Friday. --Robert Wm "Ruedii" (talk) 04:19, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

The two are completely different, one if offline shopping, the other online. KevinLeeQED (talk) 22:09, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Cyber Monday is a long-standing holiday created by an industry association (shop.org) with broad support and participation from all major online retailers. Conversely, "Cyber Black Friday" is a marketing term created by eCoupons.com. The latter does not deserve a page. Maybe a mention in the Black Friday article, but that's it.

Strong Merge- The two are intrinsically linked, of course: as Christmas shopping days. Black Friday is the big one, and the day that the "holiday shopping season" starts on; all Cyber Monday is is the next weekday. It's a distinction with no material difference, and even the article states the Cyber moniker is just a take on Black Friday. There's not even a solid, if any, linkage between the Cyber name and computing, digital sales, or technology. Cyber Monday would best be written on as a high-level section of the Black Friday concept/day/idea. Cesium 133 (talk) 16:55, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

• Merge to Black Friday (shopping) - it is just the online component of "Black Friday". Merging it to Monday seems very weird, since that's not even Friday. Black Friday is already about good deals on shopping, which this article is already about. They're both on Friday, they're both about shopping deals. Someone came up with a stupid moniker for online shopping that has been occurring online with just "Black Friday" already. 76.66.202.72 (talk) 20:55, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
• Agree with Merge to Black Friday (shopping). It happens on the same day, is part of the same concept, and is not widely known on its own. Furthermore Cyber Monday is different in that it is about shopping from work computers. Jason McHuff (talk) 23:33, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

• Keep - different events should be kept seperate. 71.146.20.62 (talk) 22:16, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
• Merge - This page was created by an account created only to write this page. It was obviously created by an experienced user and looks like advertising. 86.23.51.236 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:58, 22 November 2011 (UTC).

This page is nothing more than an advertisement to drive traffic to eCoupons.com, CyberBlackFriday.com and CyberBlackFriday.ca. No one recognizes Cyber Black Friday as a real day and eCoupons.com releasing a Press Release stating that it is a day does not count. This page should be deleted and any online Black Friday deals talk should take place on the Black Friday shopping page. Since eCoupons.com, CyberBlackFriday.com and CyberBlackFriday.ca weren't the first ones to say that online Black Friday shopping exists, they should not be given credit.
