[edit] Rock Paper Saddam

Unencyclopedic, self promotory, covering matters very limited in importance. Several times reverted from speedy by the creator. Wiki is not a web directory. Recommend delete and the same also for Jay_Barnes for similar reasons. Oneliner 10:21, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Weak keep - Term gets 15,400 Google hits. If stub can't be expanded, merge into Internet phenomenon or Internet memes or something of the like. --FCYTravis 10:24, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as NN --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 11:00, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, I agree with FCYTravis and his comments: "Term gets 15,400 Google hits. If stub can't be expanded, merge into Internet phenomenon or Internet memes or something of the like." --ShaunMacPherson 12:11, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per google hits. Kappa 12:36, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Cute, but cute doesn't cut it. Also, even if kept, definitely delete Jay Barnes. -- BD2412 talk 12:53, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
  • Merge to Internet memes; this is nowhere near AYBABTU on the meme scale. Radiant_>|< 13:04, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment ...but what is? --Badlydrawnjeff 13:31, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep notable internet memes. --Badlydrawnjeff 13:30, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    • On a chatty side comment, it's really nifty that he commented at 13:37. jglc | t | c 15:56, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is likely to be of interest to nobody in less than 10 years. Google is inherently biased towards internet phenomenon; hence, just as you wouldn't delete on article about Africa based on ggogle hits, you shouldn't keep an article on the internet per google hits. --Scimitar 13:44, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Badlydrawnjeff. jglc | t | c 15:51, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. The flash animation was kind of funny, but its popularity was brief even as these things go—about a week at the most. Unlike AYBABTU, has had no appreciable impact on the world, or even the Internet, at large. — Gwalla | Talk 18:19, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: Scimitar is right: Google will always bias hugely toward Internet phenomena. If the site is interested even a little bit in advertising itself, 10,000 links is pretty much standard fare for your "Osama in a blender" type of animation. Shared around the office LAN one week, gone the next. Geogre 19:40, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Advert. ~~~~ 19:51, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, nn meme. RickK 19:56, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • keep please as per jglc Yuckfoo 20:19, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable one-off joke. What Scimitar and Geogre said. CDC (talk) 21:12, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. With "internet memes", Google hits are everthing, and this only gets around 15000. For comparison, "All your base" and variants get over a million. --Carnildo 21:30, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Do we need every damn fool with a website with things claiming to be funny here? No! Hohokus 23:31, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable meme which will be forgotten by most in less than a year. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 23:33, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong delete. — Phil Welch 02:02, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete non notable meme. JamesBurns 02:11, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Yet another short-lived internet meme. --Calton | Talk 03:04, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable. I agree that, for an internet meme, 15000 Google hits is not encyclopedia worthy. Xoloz 03:39, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable website promo. Kaibabsquirrel 01:48, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikiacc 23:04, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Something that a small number of people on the internet do to get a few giggles. This does not belong in an encyclopedia. Indrian 04:05, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
