Artie MacStrawman[edit]
An "important and entertaining fictional character": Actually, a just-invented internet meme cooked up by a blog recently. Gets ten (10) Google hits -- less than nothing for an internet meme. Was Prod'ded, but tag removed with the commment I object to deletion: the name is new, but the meme is old; give MacStrawman time and he'll get the Google rating you seek -- meaning that even the creator recognizes this as something just made up. Probably qualifies ex post facto as a speedy under new guidelines, but let me bring it here to be sure. Calton | Talk 07:17, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Is voting open to anyone? I vote keep it! The reason I created the article is I think the (very new) character provides a catchy and relatable name for a phenomenon that is very familiar. I'd love to see an article on the phenomenon that Artie personifies, and I think you're right, he should be a small part of that article. I was just hoping to get the conversation started. I hope I haven't done anything wrong. I'm relatively inexperienced, Wikipediawise, but it's my hope that contributions from casual users are as welcomed as those from longtime contributors. The more voices, the better. I certainly didn't intend to disrespect Wikipedia by adding the article. I love the project, and I think the more information it has, the better.
