[edit] Average Homeboy

The article on the subject of this Music Video was previously speedied. This time the creator has made a more attractive page about the music video, instead of just about the person. It still looks like nothing more than an amatuer music video, and I see no evidence of meeting WP:MUSIC or notability/verifiability guidelines. Bringing here for greater discussion/community input. --Hetar 23:08, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

It's an internet meme, a popular viral video. I wouldn't keep this page on its music credentials. Keep it because it's a significant internet meme. -nathan —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.21.166.237 (talk • contribs) .

• Delete. Not encyclopaedically notable. Zaxem 04:51, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as unencyclopedic, and because it's an internet meme, and I feel that memes are inherently not encyclopedia material. Stifle (talk) 18:24, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Do research first I don't know what kind of rap was done in the 80's specially not by white rappers. If it's one of the first kind, it may be worth a small paragraph in a more approprate topic regarding Rap. (Vince)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.98.246.93 (talk • contribs) .

• Keep - If you want to delete this just because it's an internet meme, then you should also delete: Numa Numa, Star Wars Kid, Bubb Rubb, Leeroy Jenkins, Badger Badger Badger, Dancing Banana, Dog poop girl, Goatse.cx, Tubgirl, other similar Shock sites, as well as the other hundred+ articles linked in Internet Phenomenon and, why not, the Internet Phenomenon article itself. I'm not necessarilly saying that internet memes are encyclopedic, but if you want to delete this one, then you have a lot of work ahead of you in deleting the rest. Also, and no offense to this site (I love Wikipedia), but there is a lot of stuff on here that is "unencyclopedic" (not a word, btw), but that is part of what we all love about this site. You can't open up the Encyclopædia Britannica at your local library and find the information you're looking for on up-to-date pop culture, Flavor Flav, Manbearpig, Casa Bonita or whatever other random things you're interested, including internet memes. Wikipedia is the place that people come to find out random information in a clear understandable format. Articles on things such as Average Homeboy make the sight what it is, so I say keep it! --Btb01 04:36, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per above. Also because Denny Blaze is a total dude Slickshoes3234 04:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
