• Delete nn. JJL (talk) 03:21, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
• Only sources are YouTube. If other sources can be found, merge to List of Internet memes, otherwise Delete. JuJube (talk) 03:58, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge with List of Internet memes. It's won an award, it's reliably sourceable, but there's just not that much to say about it. Chocolate Rain is Russian literature by comparison. --Dhartung | Talk 04:18, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Notability not established. --Abrech (talk) 07:53, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge to List of Internet memes. Won awards and sourcable, but not particularly noteworthy, at least not enough to deserve its own article. Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 08:21, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge into List of Internet memes. RC-0722 ^247.5/1 17:10, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, it's not a meme, it's just a video watched by a lot of people for fuck's sake. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 04:01, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

*Keep there is a slate.com feature written specifically about this video. Laughing Baby. I'm going to include it in the article. Protonk (talk) 07:08, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

• • That slate article is about a different video than what is linked from the Laughing Baby article itself. The AIG commercial shows clips from the video in the Wikipedia article, not the video from the Slate article. Do we even know which video this article purports to be about?
