Reason for Duvet Day to Remain

I think this is a useful page because it is a commonly used term for those days people find an excuse to not work. It seems to be more commonly used in the UK.

Zhen (talk) 18:09, 10 March 2017 (UTC) This is an old concept called 'casual leave' in Indian subcontinent. I think this page should remain - maybe someone could organize the content better and create another page 'casual leave' which would again land here.

I don't really understand what "non-notable" means in this (or any!) context. The article appears to be correctly structured, citing references and sources, and is gramatically and typographically correct. It refers to a term in common usage, unlikely to be found in a dictionary, which people such as myself would visit an encylopedia specifically to look up. I'm unclear as to why it's up for deletion.

I've never heard it refered to as duvet day but mental health day seems to be the same thing. MikeR1854 (talk) 03:47, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Fleshing out the article

Should someone choose to expand the article, I believe another reason for introducing the concept into the workplace is to promote trust and honesty. Instead of having to feign sickness because you are burnt-out and just need a day out for no official reason (i.e. no diagnosable illness), it allows people to take time out and not deceive their employer. Its intent is also to promote goodwill between employer and employee. It may also prevent illness by allowing people down time before a substantive illness develops as the result of being run-down.

August.One Communication

Is this the correct name of the company referred to?

Is it August.One Communications or is this an error? It could potenitally be One Communications.

United States?

For what it's worth, I'm an American and I've literally never heard this term used in the United States. The formal term of art here for what I believe this article is describing is a "personal day," but I've never heard "duvet day" used here, even in jest or as a nickname. Am I wrong? Not saying the article name needs to be changed or anything, but the lede implies it's a term used in the US and I don't believe that's the case. --Jfruh (talk) 18:59, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

I agree. Maybe the term is used somewhere in the U.S. but in my 68 years of living in several states -- as far west as Arizona, as far east as Maryland -- I had never encountered the term until today, in this article. In fact, it's not uncommon for Americans not to know the label duvet for anything, much less duvet day for what is commonly called personal day. 68.98.110.11 (talk) 22:25, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
