[edit] JenniCam

A girl with a webcam? Yeah, that's unique... If this is a meme, other memes are memes... that may not make sense at first, but look at the meme purge going on and you'll see what I mean. The fact that other, UNIQUE, memes which were just as or almost as popular as this dime a dozen meme, got deleted, should invalidate this article's entry RudyLucius 18:18, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep If BBC took the time to write an article about this, it seems like notability should not be an issue. Pepsidrinka 18:23, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - notable internet phenomenon, even if it is no longer active Heycos 18:28, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. There are approximately one bajillion google hits for this, such as [1]. Isopropyl 18:33, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep as widely noted early webcam and AfD to illustrate a point. Please read WP:POINT. Weregerbil 18:37, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep - I have heard of it, even if I think it is an example of a "sick" culture. The article needs a lot of pruning though. Keep it short in this case! --MacRusgail 18:43, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep. A pretty clear case of WP:POINT. (Background info. for the unaware: Talk:Brian Peppers). Hynca-Hooley 19:10, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Extremely weak keep. As much of a worthless lowlife as Jenni is, the site was notable in its day. I fully admit, however, that I'm only voting to keep it on principle, and I wouldn't shed a tear if the article magically disappeared tomorrow. There are few people on Earth less deserving of any more publicity than this woman. --Aaron 19:28, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. This isn't "A girl with a webcam," this is "THE girl with a webcam," the original (and still champeen) camgirl. Sheesh.
• Strong keep Notable, very early cam. That a million people followed afterwards makes Jenni more not less notable. Georgewilliamherbert 21:35, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• A girl with a webcam? Not unique. A girl with a webcam in 1996? Pretty damn unique. Keep. David | Talk 21:37, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep obvously. There's also lots of academic references available. Dlyons493 Talk 21:40, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable. I know little about this practice, but even I've heard of this one. Fan1967 22:22, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep She's a pioneer in the webcam and reality show business. Would you delete entries about other pioneers, like the Dumont broadcasting network, or for things like BetaMax? I don't think so. Keep it here.
• Weak Keep Might as well close this. It's got enough little picayune things to make it different from other webcams. Karmafist 22:29, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
