Copying PROD concern about the article:

An—albiet [sic] very popular—internet meme. The article has just two references, and that too to unreliable sources.

Although this meme is extremely popular, there's no significant, in-depth coverage of it in reliable sources for it to satisfy Wikipedia's general notability guidelines.

• Delete - not a shred of evidence that this is notable and nor is it encyclopaedic. A momentary fad unsupported by any reliable sources.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   11:26, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:EVENT. – FenixFeather ^{(talk)(Contribs)} 19:53, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Meme's being notable. C'mon. Ajf773 (talk) 02:58, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. As much as I love me some memes, they're not notable enough to have their own individual wikipedia pages. JubJub343434 4:45, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable and note to deleting admin: please delete redirect Despacito 2 also. L293D (☎ • ✎) 17:52, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - No lasting impact as a meme; looks more like one of those run of the mill "dank" memes, I'm afraid. Unless the Despacito fad reaches the same legacy as Shrek, I'd say we should delete it for now. Blake Gripling (talk) 01:32, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I've seen the "Despacito 2" video on YouTube, and I'd say it easily fails WP:WEBCRIT. Also, it looks like this article is describing Despacito memes in general despite being named for one specific Despacito meme. I'd say Despacito's usage in memes deserves a mention on the main Despacito page, but not its own article. Aspening (talk) 01:44, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
