[edit] Dog Poop Girl

consistency of policy regarding Stolensidekick.com Vagabond997 12:34, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. stare decisis does not apply to Wikpedia. Article provides adequate proof of notability. Tevildo 12:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Previous article also provided notability. 239,000 hits in Google is notable. Granted, 15 million is also important. Also, there is no precident in Wikipedia? So it's a free for all? Doesn't sound plausible. Vagabond997 13:11, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Note: this is the article's second AfD, the first can be found here. Gwernol 13:17, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep clearly a notable incident which has a well-sourced article. No grounds for deletion. Gwernol 13:17, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep, a mistake on the Stolen Sidekick article does not mean we need to make the same mistake here. --badlydrawnjeff talk 13:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I'm not sure I understand what criteria is being used for deletion but (per all above) this is notable and quite well verified. The title may sound silly but if that's how it was translated from Korean - so be it. Ifnord 13:35, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I certainly don't vote to keep very many internet-meme articles, but this is one of the very few that actually did manage to get some attention in the mainstream media. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:48, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Using this criterion, stolensidekick.com should have been kept. Can anybody explain the differences to me?
    • Easy indicator: Stolensidekick.com has 12 (twelve) distinct Google hits. "Dog Poop Girl" has 14,200 Google hits... Fram 15:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
      • Nonsense, it's about verifiability. Both are verifiable, but this one will likely be kept while the other was deleted. In a twist, the nom wanted this deleted due to consistency in policy, yet the Sidekick AfD was woefully inconsistent. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Verifiable meme that hit enough inboxes to crawl past the threshold for inclusion. youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 13:50, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep reasonably notable. I think at least half (3/4?) of the allegedly famous entries in the "Internet Memes" category could go, but this is one of the better known ones. Fan1967 15:08, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep it has reliable sources, which is more than can be said for a lot of memes. Ziggurat 23:35, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I was quite surprised to know that the article was once deleted. Possibly people do not know much about the mind set of Koreans. Koreans are some how a race who concerns very much about their "face", like the Chinese. This is somehow more serious if an incident is related to foreign people. I heard a case that my friend (who is a Hong Kong person) who refused an old woman beggar on a subway train with his elementary Korean, but the beggar insist. He accidentally pushed her onto the ground, and fellow in the same cart rushed to punch the old beggar. He was shocked and asked his Korean friend, and his friend replied because others thought the old beggar is losing the face of Koreans in front of a foreigner. I also noticed that the girl involved was asked to leave the colleage she was studying, and this article was translated into Chinese, as well as the original Korean version. Therefore, the article is worth to keep. I will say this incidence is a reflection of the Korean culture. -- Tomchiukc 08:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Please read the first link of the Korean version. It was an old man who helped her to clean the dog's poop! How shameful it is! A young girl shall pay respect to an old man, but the old man was helping her to clean the dog's poop! If she was sensible, she will do the job herself and say sorry to the old man as well as the See Lai sitting next to her, but she decided to walk away. She shall really feel ashame. -- Tomchiukc 09:01, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
