Keep This seems to be both notable and anything but a mere meme. Google recognizes the keyword and reports about a quarter of a million references and Bing somewhat more. Organizations working this story include not just music sources such as MTV, Billboard, and Variety, but sites interested in puzzles and decryption. It's likely to become an iconic example of viral networking which has spread well beyond its expected audience. Not counting video postings on other sites (Hulu, etc), YouTube alone reports considerably more than a million views in toto. This is an article worth keeping, and if we don't, Wikipedia may be the one place on the web where information about it can't be found. --UnicornTapestry (talk) 06:11, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The subject has been treated not only by semi-mainstream sources like MTV and Billboard, but even by the Times Online; I added the reference to the article. Notable enough to pass muster IMO. --MelanieN (talk) 02:07, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This viral campaign has moved a few people in the world (about 1,6 mio), so why shouldn't it be mentioned at wiki? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.237.177.40 (talk) 09:20, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, at least until the identity of whoever is behind this is revealed. This viral campaign is clearly marketing something, and once we find out who or what that something is, the information should be moved to the appropriate page; until then, keeping the article seems reasonable.

Keep, of course. I'm a new user, but this seems significant to me, a viral phenomenon rather than a 'meme', whatever that means in this context. I notice Google turns up double the hits on iamamiwhoami that it does on some of the likely candidates such as Jonna Lee and about 12 times that of Karin Andersson. Keep. --Leigh 22:35, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Keep per above, and possible snow close. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 05:37, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This campaign is like an artistic/visual/musical project. As said before, it's a viral phenomenon, not a meme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.195.108 (talk) 17:31, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
