Raptor Jesus

Moved from speedy deletion - seems non-notable but does turn up some Google hits. SCEhard T 02:42, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Teh delete. NN. BD2412 T 02:47, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete per nom --King of Hearts 03:47, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Google hits have me believing this is a viable internet meme. And in the end days, we'll all be caught up in the raptor rapture.... —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:54, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete upon more detailed investigation. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 16:42, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a "viable internet meme" with all of 161 unique hits. User:Zoe|^(talk) 04:59, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Memecruft. Yes, I keep inventing new crufts. This is not a popular meme on the scale of O RLY or even Brian Peppers. FCYTravis 05:16, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Zoe and FCYTravis; not a notable meme. --Muchness 12:09, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep notable internet memes. --badlydrawnjeff 14:51, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I asume by that statement that you mean that you don't care if this one is deleted, since it isn't a notable internet meme? Zoe (216.234.130.130 16:36, 22 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]
  - Nope. I meant keep, as I believe this is a notable internet meme. There's no need to twist what I'm saying, thanks. --badlydrawnjeff 16:45, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - How does 161 hits makes something notable? Zoe (216.234.130.130 17:34, 22 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]
      - I get 987 for '"raptor jesus" -wiki.' It's more than notable enough for me. --badlydrawnjeff 18:50, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        I get 968 using your search, but of those, only 150 are unique, which means the multiple occurrences are happening on the same site(s). Zoe (216.234.130.130 19:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]
        And that doesn't change my belief that this is a notable meme. --badlydrawnjeff 19:21, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        If your standards of "notability" are that low, what WOULD you delete as a non-notable Internet meme? By comparison, "O RLY" -wiki has 194,000 Googles, and "Brian Peppers' - wiki has 70,100 Googles. 987 is... Pathetic. That's not a meme. That's something someone made up in school one day.

Keep. That picture is awesome. -- MisterHand 17:00, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Your voting keep just because the picture is awesome? --Jaranda wat's sup 00:18, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable. Edgar181 18:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
No vote, but there is a much more detailed Raptor Jesus article available at Encyclopedia Dramatica. Hall Monitor 20:03, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Internet memes are their raison d'etre. Just because there is an article there is no indication that we should have one here. Zoe (216.234.130.130 22:07, 22 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]
Delete- yes, the picture is awesome but non-notable internet memes do not belong on Wikipedia. Reyk 00:03, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
keep please it is a notable meme. Yuckfoo 00:18, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Having 150 unique hits doesn't raise this to the level of in-joke, let alone meme. --Calton | Talk 00:41, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
