The result was speedy delete. The massive weight of deleted versions on countless variant titles says that we do not want this topic. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:48, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bringing this back to AfD to be deleted for the thousandth time. Only known coverage by reliable third-party sources has been by a single newspaper article,[1] which isn't enough to pass WP:N or WP:WEB. The article has been recreated several times under various names. —Farix (t | c) 23:34, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete as recreation of deleted article and salt the title. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 23:36, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete I've tagged the article for speedy deletion as a recreation of a deleted article. This has been deleted many times in the past, both from AfD discussions and by speedy delete. Calathan (talk) 04:31, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep? Screw the rules, I have logic. srsly, shouldn't there be more sources related to a fairly popular YT phenomenon that spawned dozens of imitators and etc? Then again, maybe the article shouldn't be kept since there's not much to write about. The subject matter should be noted somewhere though, if it isn't already. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 04:54, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy deleteas recreation of repeatedly deleted article that completely fails to address any of the issues needed to justify an article, namely a lack of reliable sources and the reliance on original research. Dandy Sephy (talk) 05:12, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Not enough to assert notability. --KrebMarkt 07:20, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Google news search only finds one passing mention of it. [2] Apparently the series is notable enough that its creator attends events with other notable people, and both the creator and his series get mentioned together in a news article. Millions of people watched these things on YouTube. It is notable for being the first abridged series of its kind, many others then making their own from other cartoons after he did it first with his. Dream Focus 12:41, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
