• Strong Keep This is one if the biggest names in flash cartoons, there is not self promotion here. --Ashura96 20:51, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable (and good) animation. Very funny. Zeeky boogy doog! --Billpg 19:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Characters/catchphases/etc from TDCM have been seen in these works;
    • Elvis Not Included by Bob Barker (Fooby)
    • The Badger Song by "Brusi" (Qrrbrbirlbel, Zeeky H. Bomb, Exlosion)
    • Fooby :D by "Katana" (Re-enactment of a scene)
    • A template used by the Albino Blacksheep website has "Zeeky Boogy Doog" repeated down the background.
  • Obligigtory Google counts;
    • Demented Cartoon Movie 488,000
    • Zeeky Boogy Doog 25,200
    • Kamikaze Watermelon 89,300 --Billpg 14:57, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Very funny. Tetrahedron93 19:52, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. No demonstration of notability is made. Very funny, no doubt, but funniness is not a criterion for inclusion in WP. --BillC 21:49, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep I found this cartoon through Wikipedia and thought it was funny, and apparently this is a notable Flash piece. I'm not sure if it should be kept, though. Danny Lilithborne 22:28, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep I haven't seen a strong reason to delete this yet. How does one ascertain notability or signifigance for a Flash? Darquis 23:30, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - funniness is not a reason to keep. Non-notable flash movie. Wickethewok 00:44, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete per BillC. If some way of showing its notability is presented, I may switch to a neutral vote. -- ReyBrujo 06:22, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete - if it is underground. It looks like promotion. SeeA_Fork_in_the_Tale for standards of information (producer, publisher etc). Akidd dublin•tl•ctr-l 14:00, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It has been an internet phenomenon (dicussed in this article: Internet phenomenon ) If it is removed, then so should the article on the simpsons. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Akidd dublin (talk • contribs) 11:33, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Being on Wikipedia is not sufficient to stay on Wikipedia. Comparison with The Simpsons is just silly. Melchoir 21:56, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per BillC. New evidence by Billpg doesn't convince me; Google doesn't make something notable if it only turns up linkfarms and blogs, and the folks at Albino Blacksheep copy each other constantly. Show me a review in a reputable publication or other evidence of penetration into verifiable non-internet culture. Melchoir 21:23, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep One could argue this looks like self-promotion, but then again, there is nothing wrong with this entry per say. In terms of notability, I can not think of any way to prove it is known. Yet, Kamikaze Watermelon is a great character, and shall adorn my MSN for ages to come. - Eggy —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.80.231.107 (talk • contribs)
• Keep There is a lot more pointless stuff on Wikipedia. Mr. SmartyPants (talk • contribs) .
• Delete per Wickethewok. Naconkantari e|t||c|m 04:05, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
