Groundhog Day (1993) - Movie connections

A character refers to Groundhog Day and is not talking about the holiday: he means a day that is repeated over and over.

Does IMDb consider this to be a reference to Groundhog Day (1993)? Groundhog Day, the holiday, was never associated with the same events happening again and again until the Bill Murray movie.

Yes, if a character utters the words "groundhog day" in the context of a repeating scenario (or other matching plot elements), then the character is referring to the movie Groundhog Day, thus an IMDb movie connection item would be justified. If the actual words of the title are not expressed, then establishing a link should be avoided.
