Internet meme that does not satisfy general notability or web notability. Created in draft space, then rejected in draft space by User:Maliner, then moved to article space by originator. Proposed for Deletion by User:OutsideNormality, but then deprodded by originator. The only source, Know your meme, has been noted to be an unreliable source.

- Speedy Delete per nom. I think it should be deleted per WP:SNOWBALL. Pinging Liz and Explicit. Maliner (talk) 17:39, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete per WP:SNOWBALL. Only one source (and an unreliable one at that), and the article's writing spits in the face of WP:MOS. Occidental Phantasmagoria (talk) 17:53, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

- It shouldn't be deleted because other notorious internet memes were on Wikipedia and is there for a long time. e.g.Woman yelling at a cat Please follow me on scratch, https://scratch.mit.edu/users/DogManLoc/ is the link. Also, please friend me on Minecraft by adding Seagull1097 as friend. (talk) 10:11, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
- It's not being deleted because it is a meme, it should be deleted because it isn't notable. See Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS ULPS (talk • contribs) 11:33, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
- I agree Category:Internet memes has a lot of other non-notable articles that need cleaned up or AfD'd. // Timothy :: talk 08:06, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
- I have a question: So HOW do I make it notable? @Catgull1 (talk) 11:46, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
- You can't make it notable, none of us can. We write about topics that are already notable, we as editors can't make anything notable. Independent, reliable sources like news organizations or magazines are the ones who demonstrate a topic's notability. AryKun (talk) 13:12, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
- i mean, are there any notable websites that i can refer to? @Catgull1 (talk) 20:09, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

- so what website is reliable (about memes) @Catgull1 (talk) 11:51, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
- Well, you'd typically want some independent news organizations to write articles covering the meme to prove that it's independently notable and not just one of Reddit or TikTok's million flash-in-the-pan jokes of the day. AryKun (talk) 13:11, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
- Simplest way to start, especially for internet related things, is to look up whatever the topic is and go to the google news section. ULPS (talk • contribs) 16:06, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. I tend to lean inclusionist when it comes to internet phenomena, but this one just doesn't have sufficient coverage. That said, @Catgull1 appears to be new to Wikipedia and I commend them for putting the article together! Every decent Wikipedia I know has had notability disagreements and deleted articles, so I hope they are not discouraged :) Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 15:39, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for speaking up for me :D @Catgull1 (talk) 20:30, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
