Character's Day

BUR #8600 has been rejected.

create alias cirno_day -> character_day
create alias nue_day -> character_day

Even 9/9 being a prominent one the idea for a specific character's day is not exclusive to Cirno, with other characters getting an special day given by fans based on her name or another characteristic from that character

e.g
1/6 - Reimu's Day (Pixiv: 1月6日は霊夢の日): From reading her name - Rei (0, on'yomi) i (1, on'yomi) mu (6, kun'yomi)
6/9 - Patchouli's Day (Pixiv: 6月9日はパチュリーの日): From reading the catchphrase mukyuu - mu (6, kun'yomi) kyuu (9, on'yomi)
6/9 - Shingyoku's day (Pixiv: 6月9日はシンギョクの日): Since one of her shapes is the yin-yang who resembles "69"

As (i suppose) this probably is not exclusive to Touhou, I propose migrating this to an "more generic" tag that can be used for any "character day" (xxxの日)and not specific for A's day, B's day, etc...

ps: I wasn't sure if I send as alias or implication so I sent the first

This. I see the point in grouping the tags and searching for "character day touhou", "character day cirno" or "character day X character", for example, instead of having a tag for each, but it's not like the artworks have something visually specific aside from commentary and sometimes text. Kinda different from anniversary, birthday and other tag group:holidays and celebrations.

Is character day really that different from any type of anniversary or a birthday it needs a separate tag?

Using Miko as example: Her birthday (Shotoku Birthday) is 2/7, but the numeric pun for her name is 3/5 that is also taken as "Miko day", both for Miko (#3月5日は豊聡耳神子の日) and for Shrine Maidens (#東方巫女の日), so that is not the same as anniversary or birthday.

Well, in that case it could be just a pool.

I guess it all mostly applies to touhou characters tho?

Dunno, I was lazy to search before, but some Pokémon also have tags for it's day (Gardevoir day, Pikachu day) as well some characters from other series (e.g Shinonome Nano Every day 7th), but I couldn't find proper reasons as the hashtag only say something xxxの日 and not xx月xx日はxxxの日
