[edit] Icy Hot Stuntaz

Icy Hot Stuntaz (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable musical group which happens to be an internet meme. Fails WP:MUSIC as a musical group. Fails WP:WEB as an internet meme. Fails WP:V, which is non-negotiable, for having no sources. A previous AfD said keep, but that was a year ago, consensus can change, and all of the keeps were simply "I've heard of it!" which is not an argument to keep. - Chardish 06:51, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, no secondary sources are provided, or that I can find, are available. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 08:01, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, exactly why the word "generally" appears in "Notability is generally permanent". Not to mention that it's not sourced. EliminatorJR ^Talk 08:13, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Dallas Morning News article available [1], plus i recall another coming up in a previous discussion that I can't find anymore. Absolutely notable, nothing has changed. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:52, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • The link from the Google News search you provided is dead - no article shows up if you click on it. A search from the Dallas Morning News website itself [2] turns up no results. - Chardish 17:14, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
    • It's probably "dead" because of the subscription service. --badlydrawnjeff talk 17:17, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
• weak keep per the source mentioned by Badlydrawnjeff. Maybe merge to fark.com cliche list, if this is almost entirely a Fark thing (I really have no idea). --W.marsh 14:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • {{fact}}, but this pre-dates Fark from my recollection. --badlydrawnjeff talk 14:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as non notable band. The lack of sources means that nothing in the article can be verified. If some published non trivial sources can be produced, I might be inclined to change my opinion. --Cyrus Andiron 15:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Per nom. GideonF 10:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete or merge into fark if that's appropriate, I dunno. This is just a tidbit. The one source mentioned is from 5 years ago. Seems unlikely to become a sufficiently verifiable subject for an article. Friday (talk) 01:01, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep these guys were one of the first internet memes. The photo of them and their cars was spreading around in 1996, and far predates fark.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 02:43, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I missed the "first internet memes" criteria in WP:N, even after looking twice. I did see a requirement for multiple nontrivial reliable sources, though. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 02:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
