[edit] Chuck Norris Facts

Not every internet meme has to have an article, not to mention this article is written from the rather unique perspective of "list things people on the internet made up"--205.188.116.6 23:56, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I'm inclined to disagree- I don't see it as a list at all. It was a pretty notable fad that swept at least all of North America, and it made it to pretty much every news/talk/radio show on the continent. While it could use some sourcing on the background, I think it's fine otherwise. --Wafulz 00:02, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep The meme surely has died lately, and I vote to keep if the artical can be improved somehow. 200.255.137.221 05:26, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep An example of amusing bizarre cultural phenomenons. There's Chuck Norris T-shirts and silly subculture because of this event.
• Keep I vote this to avoid a roundhouse kick to the face. Anomo 07:00, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• 'Strong keep. It's a notable internet meme anyway, but this one got a ton of media mentions on top of that. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:00, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Very popular, in many forms of formal media. ConnertheCat 15:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This isn't made up. As you can see it has a lot of mainstream media coverage, and is even still a running joke on current comedy programmes. It was even mentioned on the Daily Show recently.Tomservo3000 17:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong KEEP: Isn't Wikipedia supposed to document this kind of stuff. 20 years from now, this will become a signature fad of the 2000s decade. I believe that if this is deleted it will be forgotten along with the other internet meme articles that were deleted. That is not what Wikipedia is about. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and this article should be documented. (Tigerghost 18:29, 18 August 2006 (UTC))
• Strong Keep: True, there are many internet memes but this is especially notable for its popularity, spread and constant reappearance all around the world, not to mention the widespread coverage it has received in written and online press. AdamDobay 21:28, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep- Wikipedia doesn't keep Chuck Norris Facts, Chuck Norris facts keep Wikipedia. FireSpike 01:55, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep!! Don't let Chuck find out you were going to delete this. If he does, A roundhouse will surely follow. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.91.92.57 (talk • contribs) 00:03, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: For all the above reasons. What does Wikipedia possibly gain by deleting it? I wanted to know more about this topic today and I was glad this article was there. --spiralhighway 03:07, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: This article was useful for me. This stupid chuck norris stuff is alredy a phenomenom, I think it deserves an article for itself, and that it should be expanded, it's still small.
