Keep - While it is on the internet slang page, I think its explanation is interesting, notable and needed -- MacAddct1984  18:14, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Madaddct1984. Stifle (talk) 23:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. An important article, and even though it may seem like a dictionary entry, it can still be considered a significant term of Internet slang. Agree with Macaddct1984. — Webdinger ^{BLAH | SZ} 02:09, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't know if it needs its own entry or if it could be part of a list, but it does appear to have fairly wide use, e.g. on usenet [1] going back to January 1990 [2] Шизомби 04:55, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added the latter link to the article, this sort of source is exactly what it needs. -- stillnotelf is invisible 05:53, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I actually found this article useful and interesting. Gremagor 14:41, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. It does seem to be fairly widespread. --Optichan 16:19, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, a very common term; this article is an encyclopaedic discussion of what could otherwise be a mere dicdef. --bainer (talk) 13:17, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I just linked to it. Important to have a shortcut for an otherwise long-winded but vital statement. John Reid 15:38, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Importance is sufficiently explained in article, though admittedly not many other Internet abbreviations have their own articles. Cromag 17:53, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
