Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
See, I think All Hallows' Eve is separate because it's a tradition festival that's celebrated worldwide. Valentine's Day is just American, so doesn't need much more info than what is on the American Holidays page (well, maybe a mention that in recent years other countries have tried to get in on the act, but it's a much tamer version and basically restricted only to adults giving their partner a card)
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
So, that 1 for not spawning a new Useful Notes page, anyone for it? Else, I'll go with that, tomorrow.

^^ Valentine's Day isn't just American.
^ It is the way that Americans celebrate it. Sure, there's cards and flowers in many countries, but it's not the same kind of holiday as it is in America. Like, it's massive, they make kids do things, there's usually a party at every other house, it gets prepared for on Jan 1st. The Valentine's Day as understood by Americans doesn't happen anywhere else, from my experience. And the concept of it being a holiday was certainly invented by America.

Nobody here has claimed it needs a useful notes page other than the existing one.

Does giving it its own Useful Notes article contribute additional information that isn't already adequately presented on existing articles? That's the acid test.

Japan has its own Valentines Day customs modeled after the American customs. They mostly involve chocolates for women to be brought to men whether for obligation or for love. And then a month after that, the men do the same thing, only with white chocolates, to women.

Both those pages could be mentioned on the disambig, i.e. See American Holidays for information on the actual celebrations in the United States // See Japanese Holidays for ... celebrations, including the related holiday White Day, in Japan. // Though theoretically originating from a Classical Saint, most other countries have either no celebrations or a minimal holiday of cards and/or a gift for your partner, based on a very tame version of the American holiday.

So, if no one says anything, I'll change it to disambig between Valentine's Day Episodes, Film.Valentines Day, UsefulNotes.American Holidays, and UsefulNotes.Japanese Holidays...
... Wait. ... Has the day been exported to any other countries / cultures, and we could make a Useful Notes about how it means different things to different cultures / people / whatever? ... The Other Wiki has a section: Valentine's_Day - Celebration and status worldwide
But if anyone disagrees, just wait, and no new page will be made, and the above disambig contents will be in place in a day or so.

Turning Main.Valentines Day into a disambig, between the Film and the Valentine's Day Episodes trope.
Such a change has been approved
.
Just wondering if the day needs its own Useful Notes.
We have UsefulNotes.American Holidays, which mentions the day, and there's UsefulNotes.All Hallows Eve, which sets a precedent for Holiday Useful Notes...
