[edit] Rules of the Internet

This seems awfully close to original research. "Rule 1" has only 250 Google hits. "3" has no Google hits except this page. Ditto for "78" (barring a page quoting this page). "34" has only 80 Google hits. The stuff on this page is for the most part non-notable memes that are a very, very long way from qualifying as "rules of the Internet". -- Earle Martin [^t/_c] 00:36, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, is pretty much a collection of things that sound like a rule and that have to do with the internet. Recury 02:31, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per SM247. -- 9cds^(talk) 06:22, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Clearly original research: This article is a list of notable proposed "rules of the Internet". The mentioned "laws" are notable, but this collection of them is original research. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-07-02 09:25Z
• Delete Given the content, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was just an eleborate attempt to sneak a link to a cartoon into WP by disguising it as an article. In other words, the rest of the "rules" might be filler for #34. Delete in any case. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:51, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable, looks like original research, few references. Brian 12:01, 2 July 2006 (UTC)btball
