Dont really think this is notable enough for an article. Surely it could be merged into the 'Internet Meme' article? Mikeo34 (talk) 18:23, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: WP:NOTNEWS. הסרפד (Hasirpad) [formerly Ratz...bo] 18:29, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Merge to List_of_Internet_phenomena. Not notable by itself so far... not sure if this will be quickly forgotten, though, hence a weak merge. Roodog2k (talk) 19:11, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and don't merge. There's almost no chance of any WP:PERSISTENCE here. --BDD (talk) 21:28, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete WP:NOTNEWS and don't merge per BDD. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 22:20, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom and WP:NOTNEWS. I don't think the article should be merged, either. Lugia2453 (talk) 22:25, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: BLM1E - Biography of living monkey notable for 1 event. And even if its notablity endures long enough to warrant inclusion in List of Internet phenomena or a similar piece, I'm not sure that there's anything in here worth saving. — Francophonie&Androphilie^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 22:44, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: depending on the social discussion it spawns, a snippet may perhaps be merged to exotic pet or a similar article. The Canadian media have interviewed some biologists and animal welfare workers regarding keeping captive monkeys as pets. Mindmatrix 20:57, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then again, there's nothing of value in the article at this time. Mindmatrix 20:59, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, obviously. It isn't even an internet meme, really. Just one of those "this dumb thing happened, laugh at it" stories that is in every newspaper every day. Resolute 14:54, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - This is just an 'and finally' news story. It has no wider relevance. AlexTiefling (talk) 15:00, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
