[edit] The Banana Boy Arrest

Delete; minor ephemeral news story of no encyclopedic interest, possibly a publicity stunt. MCB 08:43, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete; I heard about it, and it's verifiable, that does not add up to being worthy of an encyclopedia article. My crystal ball says that nobody will remember this a year from now. —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-11 08:53:10Z
• Delete; Article having no importance whatsoever!!! --Mihai -^talk 10:32, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for all the reasons mentioned above. Daniel Case 14:31, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It doesn't even explain why he's called "Banana Boy". — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 16:37, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Verifiability and references (especially from estabilshed news sources) go a long way in helping an article to be kept. However, this is a pretty good example of how not everything that shows up in the news is an encyclopedia article candidate. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:58, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - If every stupid happening featured on Fark.com had its own encyclopedia article we'd be drowning in crappy non-notable news. --Cyde Weys _talk^contribs 20:19, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Cyde Weys
• Delete with banana-powered rocket launcher because it is poorly-written, non-notable, Wikipedia is not a news site, POV (i.e. hilarious), need I say more? Croat Canuck 02:43, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Are you sure you haven't been playing too much Worms lately? Please lower your weapon and take a few good breaths. Banana rocket launchers are bad for you. ;) - Mgm|^(talk) 11:51, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per Starblind. Clear example of something verifiable that's still unencyclopedic. There's hundreds of people bearing knifes on a daily basis. Even if you make the news for doing so it doesn't mean you should end up in an encyclopedia. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:51, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Totally not notable. Masterhatch 20:21, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
