[edit] IMike

IMike (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested prod (I'd added it). This is a neologism of sorts which claims notability but is unreferenced. Google, as I'm sure you can imagine in this situation, isn't much use, since "iMike" seems to yield results about a microphone for Apple products and various Apple fans called Michael. Certainly nothing about a film or an internet fad that I can see. I had originally considered speedying it as an attack page, but "Mike" is a sufficiently common name that it's probably not designed to insult one particular person.

  • Delete. If this was indeed featured in several Canadian films, and spawned an "internet fad," then there should be some readily-available internet sources. But no matter the combination of words and minus-words I used on Google, I still could find nothing. If the author provides some sources before the end of this AfD, I might change my mind. But for now, this article fails WP:ATT, and seems to be a non-notable neologism to boot. Given the number of chatroom and social-network usernames that "iMike" turned up in on Google, I agree with the nominator that this is probably a hoax attack page of some sort. ≈≈Carolfrog≈≈♦тос♦ 04:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
