[edit] Latualatuka chain letter

Latualatuka chain letter (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This page was inappropriately deleted under speedy-deletion criterion G1. It is not patent nonsense in the narrow way we use that term here. The page was procedurally restored in order to list here. Rossami (talk)

  • Delete as a non-notable and unsourced hoax. The assertion that this is a "hugely successful chain letter and internet meme" is patently false. Real internet memes return many millions of Google hits. (For all its failings, the google test is a highly reliable negative test for internet-based phenomena.) This returns 333.

  • Delete as there are many and changing internet memes which can be covered in a single page better than as seperate articles.Dave 11:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No reliable sources. No evidence that any reputable publications have commented on it. The creation of an article here is this hoax's attempt to cause still further annoyance in the world. EdJohnston 22:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment 79,800 Google hits for Latualatuka - more than most other entries in Category:Internet_memes; lack of notable sources, though. --Ariovistus 22:37, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Run your google search again and you'll find that there are far fewer non-duplicative hits (333 yesterday, all the way up to 410 today). The 79,800 on the front page is a mis-estimate that sometimes happens from the google algorithms. Rossami (talk) 01:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable and incredibly annoying. There are thousands of variations of chain letters like this one. None of them are individually notable or important. --- RockMFR 02:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete since chain letters are not worthy of any recognition, what-so-ever. Mr. Berry 07:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete chain letters are not notable Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 08:20, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and send the deletion to 3 other encyclopaedias. Otherwise this cruft will spread -- SockpuppetSamuelson 08:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
