Reliable sources

User:JzG Please move success here for discussion instead of removing. Can you explain why you do not consider these reliable:

Griffith University, a well known institution, reporting on a basic fact about a specific event that was not extraordinary
News reports used to state only that a local event took place on a particular date, both from well established newspapers, used for stating only "X took place" and when. One of these involves mention of a deceased person, so WP:BLP is not relevant. There are also records on the Hansard Parliament debates mentioning former MP Nicky Morgan speaking on MP awareness - I just haven't seen one for that specific date in May
Cinema listings reported by a local newspaper are extremely unlikely to be questionable - and I did not see anything about the size/circulation of the newspaper indicating local ones would not count. Most are owned by one of two huge publishers.
Removal of newsletters about an event by the organization that add involved, which started only what happened. According to WP:SELFSOURCE primary sources can be used if
- The material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim. Seems hardly exceptional that awareness events would take place on May 12th when other organizations recognize this date and do similar
- The material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim.

Having looking at other pages including National Reading Day and Ice Cream for breakfast day it seems that a single external link to the founder / main website and using that website to source minor details has not been a problem before. I fact see how any other source would be more reliable than the founder about what the purpose of such a day is, what conditions are involved, or typical activities people might do on that day.
