[edit] Tubcat

Tubcat (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Another unverifiable "funny cat picture" article with no real assertion of notability and no coverage in reliable sources. The previous AfD in March 2006 was filled with !votes claiming that it's a "notable internet meme", without providing any sources to back the claim of notability. Fails WP:V and WP:N.

  • Well, that's one big kitty cat, and it's a cute kitty cat, so I'm biased to a keep, but for only the bias, I'd have to say Abstain. I will say this - the article shows potential for improvement, so someone would have to demonstrate some notability here. --Dennisthe2 05:57, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. If the notability of Tubcat cannot be supported with references, then this shouldn't exist. ' (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 07:00, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - limecat would not be pleased ˉˉanetode╦╩ 07:22, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Verifiability, not truth. Feezo (Talk) 07:40, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Limecat is far superior in every way more "notable" than tubcat, and that was deleted (thus we have precedent to delete cat-related memes no matter how much WP:ILIKEIT). Obviously fails WP:V and other policies. --- RockMFR 07:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. If Longcat, a more notable meme, can't have his own article, then neither should this one. Metrackle 08:37, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete And put the damn cat on a diet. Less than 1000 Ghits does not make a meme.Edison 18:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete another of literally hundreds of funny/cute cat pictures people pass around on forums. Nowhere near WP:WEB, and we should all be ashamed of ourselves for having kept this last time. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as above.--Rudjek 20:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete too bad db-bio only applies to humans. Tubezone 13:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
