Public Domain Day

(

)

... that Public Domain Day is celebrated in various countries around the world, including most of Europe, Canada and New Zealand, but not in the United States, where no works will enter the public domain till 2019, nor in Australia, where the public domain freeze lasts till 2026?

Comment: I'd suggest holding for 1st January anniversary.

Article is being discussed for deletion, but it's obvious already that it's going to be kept, so that's not a worry. Article itself checks out fine. Perhaps File:Logo_PDD_2012.svg could be used, if the queue for January 1 isn't already full of images.
Hook needs to be corrected though, as "till" is not the correct word here—"til", a contraction of "until", is what is intended, but it's an informality and should be avoid. Change both instances of "till" to "until". In addition, that's a bit of a wordy hook. I'd suggest paring it a little so that the hook reads ALT1: "... that Public Domain Day is celebrated in various countries around the world, but not in the United States or Australia, where no works will enter the public domain until 2019 and 2026 respectively?" Running with the alt, this is good to go, and I'd also suggest keeping it for Jan 1. GRAPPLE X 06:40, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Support ALT1. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 15:02, 30 December 2011 (UTC) PS. Could also consider ALT2 which mentions Jan 1:
ALT2: "... that Public Domain Day is celebrated on January 1 in several countries, but not in the United States or Australia, where no works will enter the public domain until 2019 and 2026 respectively?

That also works fine with me. GRAPPLE X 15:12, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

- Discussed here where it appears to be fine. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 14:46, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
  - Already made a comment there. Let just not be caught with our pants down (i.e. forget to close the AFD); awfully cold this time of year. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:55, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
