[edit] Goatse.cx

Goatse.cx (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Concerns w/ WP:RS and WP:V, I don't see how we are going to source this one with independent sources. Tawker 03:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment The previous AfD discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Goatse.cx Accurizer 03:41, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Note that this article was kept just a few weeks ago (with about 50 keep votes and 2 delete votes). --- RockMFR 03:56, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - per my nom. Really, we need to start looking at CZ's model on maintainability, there's no way we can maintain this. -- Tawker 03:44, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Question Not sure what that means, can you point me where to read? Thanks! Accurizer 03:48, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep - the most notable shock site, one of the most notable Internet memes, etc. Seems this was probably spurred by the recent GNAA deletion. However, I believe the chance of finding reliable sources on this one is extremely high. --- RockMFR 03:54, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

  so find one - if we can't, time to nuke it -- Tawker 04:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep - there are 1,510,000 hits for "goatse" on Google. This is a clear indicator there are reliable sources achievable. It's extremely unlikely that there are no reliable sources throughout 1.5 million pages. --TheEmulatorGuy 04:01, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per RockMFR. This is one of the biggest Internet memes ever. It's not tasteful, but it's notable. --Aaron 04:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep as per WP:SK. This was kept- with a very strong consensus- at AfD just one month ago. -- Kicking222 04:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
