[edit] Whopper Freakout

Whopper Freakout (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This advertising campaign is not notable. A quick Google search does not bring up anything other than Youtube and blogs, which cannot establish notability. NF24^{(welcome, 2008!)} 22:18, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as nom. NF24^{(welcome, 2008!)} 22:20, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Verifiable by reliable sources --Ryan Delaney ^talk 22:23, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

• What reliable sources? All I see are blogs and YouTube, which are not reliable. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 22:32, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

And the official website is self published and cannot establish notability per WP:N. NF24^{(welcome, 2008!)} 22:41, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as insufficiently notable. --Nlu (talk) 22:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. No long-term notability.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 23:13, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, not a classification in the DSM-IV. Or notable. --Dhartung | Talk 00:04, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as nn. Ford MF (talk) 00:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for long term notability, although this campaign has been covered by USA Today and the trades: [1] [2] [3]—Preceding unsigned comment added by Calwatch (talk • contribs) 00:05, 31 December 2007

• Precedent: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonathon Ware. You probably know him as the "I like turtles" boy, but his article was deleted due to lack of long term notability. Substitute USA Today with The Washington Post in the above argument and you basically have what happened over there. NF24^{(welcome, 2008!)} 02:51, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Keep as per AfD precedent on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Coq Roq -- RoninBK _{T C} 08:00, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
• Merge. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dewmocracy which I believe is relevant. If that can be merged (and mind that I was the nominator) then I think this should be too. Both are food-product advertising campaigns, and this one is at least as notable if not more so. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 20:23, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • For the record, merging into what? -- RoninBK _{T C} 00:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Sorry for not being explicit about that. Merge to Burger King of course. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 17:40, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
