PROD declined by a user who misunderstood how Twinkle works (they thought the PROD was done by a bot). Said user also claims that the piece has "major influence" and is a meme, but a search for sources turns up absolutely nothing at all as far as reliable sources.

Delete based on current content. I am open to the possibility that this artwork might be verifiable as being a notable meme, but so far no independent reliable sources have been provided. If such sources were provided, I might reconsider my recommendation. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:35, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This pear is most commonly seen as a macro, tagged with the phrase LOL WUT. So, a meme, yes, but I cannot speak to its notability, and can't find anything to suggest it actually is notable. Kate (talk) 21:42, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This pear is a work of art that is widely known and is a meme, and all of its sources are real, so I think it's fine. 68.63.112.199 (talk) 23:03, 8 November 2010 (UTC) — 68.63.112.199 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Explain to me how the artist's own DeviantArt is "fine". Read WP:RS, WP:N if you haven't. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 01:30, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Ursula Vernon --Novil Ariandis (talk) 21:01, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the artist as a reasonable search term. I can't find a single RS but the meme is strong in this one. Hobit (talk) 03:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per the above - you're right, it is a reasonable search term. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 13:17, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
