I am suspicious of this; the authour’s original version lookt like nonsense, and I do not know whence thon got this definition from. --Pilcrow 03:28, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- It gets 9M Google hits, and the definition looks correct. Yet I believe it's SoP, hence delete. --Hekaheka 06:36, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- It is odd that the editor first saved a nonsense definition, but the present one is correct. I'd say it's mildly idiomatic, in that the actual period referred to is usually years, decades, or even perhaps centuries, for example the glory days of the British empire. I'll abstain on this one, but I've slightly improved the wording, in case we keep it. --Enginear 07:34, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Looks like "days (time) of glory" to me. I would delete it. SemperBlotto 08:18, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Strong keep: I think SoP is too rigidly called in this case. "Days" is ambiguous enough (and doesn't necessarily mean "days" per se) to justify it being kept. Also, considering that it gets 9M hits, it's clearly a commonly used term Purplebackpack89 (Notes Taken) (Locker) 14:44, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- "shitty day" gets nearly 7 million. Commonness isn't a criterion for inclusion. However, I would lean toward keeping this one. Not enough to make it bold, but... leaning. — [Ric Laurent] — 17:53, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Common set phrase, not just common so keep.Lucifer 21:40, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

- Is it really a set phrase? One might as well use "days of glory". Also, we have this sense for day: "A specified time or period; time, considered with reference to the existence or prominence of a person or thing; age; time." --Hekaheka 05:34, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Keep. Definitely a set phrase. —RuakhTALK 21:08, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
