[edit] Jesusland map

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

Non-notable internet meme, no assertion of notability. RucasHost 03:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

• Strong keep, this is an extremely notable internet meme that received press coverage. Articles from reliable sources that discuss the map: The Atlantic, USA Today, Daily Variety, The Washington Times, Chicago-Sun Times, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, The New York Times, etc. There are even books devoted to the topic: [1]. --musicpvm 05:07, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Looking at this users edits, I believe this was a bad faith nomination. This topic is obviously notable, but the user seems to have personal issues with it. He/she states at Talk:Jesusland map: "Not everyone in Canada is a brain-dead liberal you know. I'm a Canadian and I consider American liberals to be some of the most disgusting and despicable people on Earth, Canadian liberals have many redeeming qualities, but American liberals are just self-hating baby-killing idiots." This AfD has absolutely nothing to do with notability, but everything to do with this user's personal bias. --musicpvm 05:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Concur. This verges on vandalism, given the user's history and clear bias. --bfigura ^(talk) 05:26, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment It's not my fault that none of those wonderful references were included in the article, maybe you should add them. --RucasHost 09:46, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep, per musicpvm. The article could use some sources, but its subject is an extremely notable meme. ichor}mosquito{ 05:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep, per musicpvm. It would be great if someone could work these sources into the article. bfigura ^(talk) 05:22, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - as the others. Lets get some sources though. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 05:23, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Comment It is most unfortunate that this article no longer has the actual Jesusland map on it. I presume that the image was deleted? I would think that it would be considered Fair Use, given the meme is extremely difficult to visualize without the actual image that spawned it. Resolute 06:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Frivolous nom, no research was done before starting this AfD. Reinis^talk 11:51, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per musicpvm and please, just snowball close this already. Rucas, it is your responsibility to check for references before nominating an article. At least perform a Google search next time. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 16:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep it could use some sources. Oysterguitarist 20:03, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
