Shoop Da Whoop[edit]

In my opinion, this alleged meme is not notable, or if it is, the article fails to demonstrate notability clearly. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 02:17, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete as neologism~~ HAHAHHA, DISREGARD THAT I SUCK C--nahhhh....Too self referential. Delete as neologism that hasn't been received in independent media. Unlike Lolcat, another 4chan creation, this one will probably never make it out of the forum world. Just imagine the talking heads on CNN trying to pronounce it as they navigate 4chan on their GIANT internet screen. "Sho---da....Shot da what? OMG, is that someone holding open their own------". :) Protonk (talk) 05:52, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I will simply vote for delete for failing WP:RS and hope Protonk feels better later on. LonelyBeacon (talk) 06:46, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete: Come on, this belongs on Encyclopedia Dramatica. --Carbonrodney (talk) 07:59, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's already there. Protonk (talk) 12:44, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Ockdeleteapus BLAAAAAAAAA Sorry, but no. JuJube (talk) 08:57, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Fire mah lazer and delete it. No reliable sources anywhere, just a stupid ED meme. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Chirps•Clams•Chowder)} 14:38, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Save because other useless Internet memes have their own page, and this one has a racial component that one can't ignore. Cueball (talk) 21:59, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A delete is fine too because this is the only meme that I can think of Sceptre ^(talk) 18:45, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete we are not a collection of everything. Chillum 21:07, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per precedent with a far-more bothersome meme that got its own page. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Mrrph-mph!)} 21:20, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article doesn't establish any sort of encyclopedic value/potential. I think I've seen this phrase used once, in The Impossible Quiz. As far as I can tell, not notable.--Koji Dude ^(C) 21:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Sage~~ Delete: It must be summer. Pacific Coast Highway ^{{talk • contribs}} 21:32, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In ur wiki, deleting ur meme: especially since it doesn't establish notability or widespread usage. —C.Fred (talk) 22:55, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Notable internet meme --Boss Big (talk) 12:53, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Shoop da Whoop is plain awesome as well as famous. 68.192.12.173 (talk) 16:26, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your argument isn't. -Jéské ^{(v^_^v Mrrph-mph!)} 18:44, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I believe it meets the criteria for notability, but the article could be cleaned up and expanded a bit. Themfromspace (talk) 17:43, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Question: Did your search turn up reliable sources to support that notability? I couldn't find any, but if you did, I'd change my nomination- I'd hate to delete an article on a notable subject. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 19:03, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
