The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete: Despite all the keep arguments, the original concerns were never addressed. WP:WEB requires multiple non-trivial sources - one is not multiple, and that one source was never really provided (given that I Love Music is a web forum, it is also not a non-trivial source). --Coredesat 04:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Potter Puppet Pals

Potter Puppet Pals (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Random Harry Potter parody. No proper assertion of notability. No independent, reliable coverage. Prod was removed. Drat (Talk) 09:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete non-notable Internet videos. JuJube 10:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect to Neil Cicierega. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:22, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. We kept Salad Fingers; why shouldn't we keep this?--Releeshan 22:46, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable --Bill.matthews 02:41, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. They have been a fairly notable phenomenon associated with Harry Potter, and the author is reasonably well-known as a web personality. Michaelsanders 17:18, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Has been mentioned on I Love Music, notable. 86.31.51.60 23:57, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as above. ugen64 23:39, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep; this is a popular parody and Internet cartoon. -/- Warren 09:21, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete As the nom states, no independent reliable sources have been provided. If none show up, this fails WP:V. WarpstarRider 14:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No reliable independent coverage, fails WP:N. Sandstein 14:57, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Do not assert notibility at all. Fails WP:N and WP:WEB because of no decent sources. I follow HP community and passed by it once.--Dacium 15:02, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, despite fanboy assurances that this is encyclopedic. Madman 15:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Neil Cicierega. —Dark•Shikari[T] 15:53, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Hang on, hang on, whoa' whoa, whoa! A fairly huge claim to notability has just been made. Can we give Releeshan/Kittychick a chance to source that claim to a Boston Globe article before we proceed? That alone should be more than enough. -Toptomcat 00:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
    • CommentThat's just one source. There needs to be multiple. That I Love Music "mention" hasn't been explained or sourced. Is it a full article? Or is it just a trivial "Hey, go check this funny flash thing"? Besides, as far as I can see, it's a forum, so anyone can post there, rendering it unreliable.--Drat (Talk) 02:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment-Eep, nevermind. The article in question was more about Neil himself, and has already been linked to on the Neil Cicierega page.--Releeshan 02:58, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, I see those freakin' puppets everywhere! It's a very popular flash cartoon. --Candy-Panda 09:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Neil Cicierga. Of course I WANT to say keep because I love this flash cartoon, but its notability is in question.--Wizardman 19:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
