Maybe I have been blind for a few years, but this seems.. unique - what's the dealio?
Seems like it would be private -

I happened to mention in chat (Root Access) some time ago that my birthday was on Jan 22. Someone (I can't remember who) decided to create a chat event as a reminder so that the chat regulars could wish me a happy birthday ;) This morning the event appeared on the Super User upcoming events. So, as a room owner, I deleted the event. However it still appears as you have noted in your question :/– DavidPostill ModCommented Jan 15, 2016 at 12:21

Ah! I was worried that there was some sort of bug, but it did lead me to chat so I wasn't sure.– RaystafarianCommented Jan 15, 2016 at 12:22

So it has nothing to do with any private information as the event was manually created.– DavidPostill ModCommented Jan 15, 2016 at 12:23

All in all, it's quite amusing. I don't think anyone expected a chat event to be widely advertised ;)– DavidPostill ModCommented Jan 15, 2016 at 12:24

@Sathya, do you happen to know how to remove it from "Upcoming Events"? (not that I particularly mind people knowing my birthday ... it just seems strange to have it advertised there)– DavidPostill ModCommented Jan 15, 2016 at 12:27

1@DavidPostill You're famous! :P– undoCommented Jan 15, 2016 at 12:35

@DavidPostill the chat event spawns a community event on the main site but deleting one does not delete the other. I've deleted the community event now.– Mokubai ModCommented Jan 15, 2016 at 13:04

@Mokubai Thanks ;)– DavidPostill ModCommented Jan 15, 2016 at 13:04

1@DavidPostill its a pity really. I was looking forward to a sitewide celebration. We need some community events to get people together more.– Mokubai ModCommented Jan 15, 2016 at 13:06

1@Mokubai You have my permission to put it back ;)– DavidPostill ModCommented Jan 15, 2016 at 13:07

As mentioned in the comments, the [chat] regulars thought it would be a fun thing to plan a Birthday Event for DavidPostill. Ended up on the front screen, and I couldn't contain myself when people asked why... So I spilled the beans!

Do you know how many candles you need for the virtual cake? Commented Jan 16, 2016 at 1:30
