[edit] Copypasta

I just don't see how this can be notable here. DyslexicEditor 11:11, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete not notable. --MaNeMeBasat 12:33, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Notability is not the issue here. The issue here is contravention of the Wikipedia:No original research policy. The article cites no sources that describe in detail what copypasta is, and I've looked for some and found none. The only way for readers to verify the contents of this article is to perform primary research, i.e. to read and analyse all of the discussion forum threads directly. This is a novel analysis of a discussion forum habit that has not yet been properly documented outside of Wikipedia. The route to having an encyclopaedia article on a subject is for analyses to be published, fact checked, and peer reviewed outside of Wikipedia first. Delete. Uncle G 13:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

• Why? A vote without a reason has no value. Fan-1967 15:45, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Copypasta kind of explains itself, just by the name of it. In fact, the 4chan article sums this up in a paragraph.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.10.16.95 (talk • contribs)
• Delete self-explanatory neologism with no apparent currency. Opabinia regalis 15:49, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Already explained on the 4chan article, where it belongs. LinaMishima 17:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per anon (ie. no reason). Danny Lilithborne 20:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per neologism. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 22:27, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Why exactly do we need this? -- Necrothesp 22:49, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Escapee from 4chan article; not notable (or, most likely, verifiable). - makomk 13:57, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per common sense. -Hachiko 18:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Well, I was going to vote Delete, but my mom got scared, she said "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in bel Air." I whistled for a cab, and when it came near, The license plate said "fresh" and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, But I thought "Nah forget it, Yo home to Bel Air." I pulled up to the house about seven or eight, and I yelled to the cabby "Yo holmes, smell ya later." Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there, To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air. -- Bobdoe (Talk) 05:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
