[edit] John Daker

• Delete nn internet phenomenon. Don't see much how this could become encylopedic. Friday 23:10, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
• Cleanup So very sad, but a) true and b) Google indicates that it has indeed become something of a cult item.... sigh. If my delete vote counted for the Net at large, then I'd change my vote. -Harmil 23:54, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable, and much of the article approaches original research. I think we've reached the point in Intarweb history where "Video of Guy Embarrasing Himself" is pretty commonplace, no matter how hilarious. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 01:11, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Cleanup and expand. I'm with Harmil on this, as sadly, he is somewhat of a popular pheonomina. Wait a few months, then re-VfD (set yourself a reminder or something). -mysekurity 01:20, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Clearly verifiable. If a user were to look up the name on Wikipedia, it would be remiss to allow them to find a redlink. Merging with a broader article on Internet embarrassments would be an alternative. Grace Note 01:24, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non notable phenomenon. JamesBurns 08:57, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, nn. Radiant_>|< 15:05, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Cleanup. I don't think Daker is any more or less and internet phenomenon than Star Wars kid or the various other memes on Wiki. IrishGuy
• Keep Internet notability is fine with me.--Simon.Pole 22:11, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Category 01:24, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, cleanup and expand.
• Delete. Do we really need/want an article on everything that ever showed up in the news or in the net? Is WP a jokes site? - Nabla 03:23, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Just as worthy as Star Wars kid to be on wikipedia. -- Crevaner 00:00, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
