The result was Speedily redirected to LOL. It is already covered there, and LQTM already exists as a redirect. Non-admin closing. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 22:49, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Prod contested with the explanation, We feel this is a relevent acronym as it is quickly becoming part of pop culture. Most notibly by George Braun, Demetri Martin, and an upcoming inclusion on Saturday Night Live. Unfortunately it is unreferenced, and there is no assertion that the acronym caught on. Plus, the thing about the SNL inclusion being "upcoming" makes it a violation of WP:CRYSTAL (well, sort of). Delete. Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 00:42, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect to LOL#Variations on the theme, as with ROFL, LMFAO, etc. There's enough out there to support a redirect and a brief bullet point on this (see, e.g., this book and mentions in the NY Times and LA Times as you can see here), but there certainly isn't enough to support a full article on this initialism.

Merge/redirect per Glenfarclas above. - DustFormsWords (talk) 01:27, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm okay with a merger, but a redirect should have the title LQTM, which, incidentally, is already a redirect to LOL. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 22:46, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
