ADD to Awards & Legacy

Jimmy Kimmel surprised Snoop Dogg on 10/20/2023 by naming a new national holiday in his honor, 10/20, also known as DoggFather’s Day. The new high holiday will take place annually on October 20th in celebration of Snoop’s birthday, which falls exactly six months from the famed 4/20 holiday – a half (baked) anniversary.

Not done: While a humorous tidbit, the relevant section refers solely to accredited awards or actions related to his legacy reported on by sources (while Yahoo! did report on this, it's clearly an article meant to entertain the reader, not to seriously assert that part of Snoop Dogg's legacy is that a talk show host gave him an unofficial national holiday). —Sirdog (talk) 08:17, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Does this really need its own section as a key part of his life? And why all the other figures from press sources, when it's incredibly likely that only GWR measured it? This section looks like it was merged from a separate article that had been merged for being WP:NOTNEWS Unknown Temptation (talk) 19:16, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
