[edit] Exploding dog (video)

This is not in any way a notable or prolific internet meme. It is not common enough to warrant a Wikipedia article, and if Wikipedia is not a web guide, then it certainly is not an A-Z of every piece of multimedia to hit the internet. Lavareef 14:51, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:38, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
• I agree with the nominator. I wouldn't be opposed to a merge with Internet phenomenon or something, I guess, altho I don't particularly see value to it either. In any case, this article doesn't need to exist independantly and thus should be deleted. Netcruft is overrepresented on Wikipedia, but I think we can trim it back simply by expecting normal standards of verifiability, which this article lacks. Friday (talk) 15:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not encyclopedic. Crotalus horridus 15:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I can't find this so called "Internet phenomenon" anywhere - there are no webpages with it listed in the first half-dozen Google listings. There is a blog called Exploding Dog, however. I think it's either a hoax or a very very very obscure Internet creation. Additional: I checked Internet meme and there is a link to this video, but I still think it's not very notable. If this article is deleted I suggest it be removed from that article as well unless someone can prove me wrong re: its notability. 23skidoo 16:10, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
• I believe it was reasonably popular at one time. I remember seeing it anyway, and hearing it talked about. However, Wikipedia is not an internet-fad-of-the-week guide. Friday (talk) 16:13, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as a hoax or as non-notable. Jtmichcock 00:35, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Also, remove the link from the Internet Phenomenon article of course. I've been through the internets long enough to know a *truly* famous meme and I'd never even heard of this before. --Wisgary 02:57, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
