[edit] Nori (Look Around You)
Not notable. Suggest that this is moved into a section in the Look Around You article. The illustration is nice however. Richard W.M. Jones 17:41, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. This is just a little snippet of nonsense in a commentary track on a DVD, it doesn't even warrant a mention in the main Look Around You article. AdorableRuffian 18:47, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Not notable. WMMartin 18:53, July 16 2005 (UTC)
- Do not Delete. This is an instance of a bonafide meme circulating in at least three major schools of technology: the Massachusettes Institute of Technology, Rodchester Institute of Technology and Cornell. georgelazenby 15:39, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
- Whilst I agree that it's the job of Wikipedia to document substantial memes, it's not obvious to me that we should be including every catchphrase in the world. :-) WMMartin 15:21, July 19 2005 (UTC)
- I point to the substantial cluster of articles documenting the tradition of hacks at only one school, MIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_%28technology_slang%29 and the fact that this single-school memword, 'hack' has since worked its way into the popular culture, thanks, no doubt, to the promenance MIT grads had in tech after graduation. Who's to say that 'nori' will not achieve the same status? georgelazenby 09:31, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
- George, I think you're making a very fair point. If 'nori' does acquire the same patina of commonplace usage that 'hack' has, I'd fully support its inclusion. But, as yet, it hasn't. WMMartin 22:01, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
