Christopher Walken

Not sure if it was notable enough for inclusion here, but I figured I'd throw it out there. Apologies if it's been removed before. The combination of his existing Internet fame and the presidential hoax seemed noteworthy... if not as much so as say Numa Numa. Luatha 08:23, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

the prasing : but this fame culminated in 2006 is inappropriate if uncited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.69.137.23 (talk) 16:37, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

YTMND

Why isn't YTMND.com listed in the list of web sites? Most of the Internet phenomena listed here have been parodied on YTMND at one time or another, along with a bunch of smaller Internet fads. 75.16.166.193 00:38, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Chris Crocker

The phrase: Chris' world-wide fame exploded is uncourced, unencylopedic and needs to be removed/rephrased —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.69.137.23 (talk) 16:35, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

So edit it. PlaguedKiller —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.130.26 (talk) 05:45, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Why was technoviking deleted?

He's was number 4 on google trends, has numerous remixes, and is blowing up on message boards. Some would say he's the next Chuck Norris. Why deleted? I'm new at this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Camaroman (talk • contribs) 19:11, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

If a reliable source can be found showing the technoviking has notability outside of the Internet (i.e. covered in the news), then it can be added to the list. UnfriendlyFire 05:20, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

One World

I'd like to see the One World campaign by MadV on the list. Looking at his wiki entry there are several 'reliable media sources' which documented the campaign, and it definately left it's mark on the YT community. It is after all the most responded video of all time (excluding obvious attempts by videos at spamming their way to the top), and was featured on various news programmes. 194.176.105.40 03:41, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

The exploding whale

I am surprised that this hasn't been included, because it is a really old pure internet phenomenon:

This is Sparta Techno Remix

A video with 4 million views, spawning off many other remakes, and is the most liked 300 video on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZBA0SKmQy8 If it can't have its own section, it should be added under the "300" part. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WrestlingFrodo25 (talk • contribs) 02:56, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

xiao xiao

I nominate the Xiao Xiao series of animations (and the flash-game) to be listed on the main page as well. 85.178.77.104 03:50, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

You don't have to nominate anything - just simply find some reliable sources that back up these animations as notable and feel free to edit mercilessly. the_undertow talk 04:02, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
