Wedgie

It encourages other's to copy this prank — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grunger (talk • contribs)

• It's still very informative. I just read the word 'wedgie' in a dilbert strip and I had no idea what it means (I'm not an native English speaker), so I looked it up on wikipedia. This article was very useful to me. We could delete any articles about something bad with the exact same argumentation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.0.54.253 (talk • contribs)
• Keep, looks like WP:NFT but is well sourced (even in Merriam-Webster!). Slightly haphazard nomination by a new contributor. Sandstein 19:50, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep. "Enabling bullying" is not a criterion for deletion. Would be a keep otherwise, as this is probably one of the oldest pranks in the book, even cites pop culture references (which it probably does not need to verify its existence anyway), and the criteria at WP:NFT do not refer to things that have entered the mainstream (see the section entitled "The right way for things made up in school one day to get into Wikipedia"). --Kinu ^t/_c 20:09, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable prank. Cultural references abound (here's my favorite). —Chowbok 20:42, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep as per above, a useful reference to a cultural staple. Gwernol 20:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep as per above as well. This is a very famous prank, almost a classic. It doesn't even relate to, on any level, WP:NFT. --Fbv65edel ^{(discuss | contribs)} 21:22, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Bgnkid : I like wedgies, especially ones done to fat guys. This article should be kept to inform people on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bgnkid (talk • contribs) 14:35, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
