Lee Hotti[edit]

Keep

Definitely a keep. There's precedence with all manner of other internet "memes" already listed in Wikipedia, and this one is certainly no small or 'forgettable' one.

If you came here because someone asked you to, or you read a message on another website, please note that this is not a majority vote, but instead a discussion among Wikipedia contributors. Wikipedia has policies and guidelines regarding the encyclopedia's content, and consensus (agreement) is gauged based on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes.

Keep

How can you say it is a 'waste of Wikipedia space', hmm? There are plenty of articles that would be defined as 'waste of space' by you, but they don't deserve deletion. Cleanup maybe. User:theDingbat 07:53, 20 January 2006 (GMT)

Keep --- This is a true internet phenomenon and deserves mention of what can be accomplished in a matter of a few days. Things like this do not happen every day and even if they start to do, this page could serve as one of the first examples --DB0 12:26, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This has to stay, it's up there with other such great internet crazes that also need rememberance, such as star wars kid and the hamster dance. Play fair — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.188.158.202 (talk • contribs)

The hamster dance song has A. Been around for 4 years, B. Inspired two songs, C. Been ranked as the number 1 web something or other by cnet. What has this picture done?--God of War 03:52, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - While the article is amateur it is still relevant. The exhibited “forum flaming” has marked history creating a global scale phenomenon in human internet behavior. For the sake of behavioral science….. Keep this entry!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.24.65 (talk • contribs)

Delete as per above. --King of All the Franks 00:55, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - if you are going to delete this, you may as well delete The Hampster Dance. Fact is this is one of the greatest worldwide internet phenomenons in the world at the moment. There was an article on CNN about this. Perhaps you folks should focus on adding meaningful content to Wikipedia rather than deleting everything you come across.

Delete- per the above. Karma fist 00:28, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep as per Rogerthat. --King of All the Franks 01:02, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - With over 1 Million hits in less than a week the Lee Hotti craze has taken just as much attention as many major news events (i.e. Hurricane Katrina coverage). Its an iconic sign of the times that needs to be documented, crazy and pointless as it may seem - Chris — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.15.229.145 (talk • contribs)

Keep - Although this article needs work, this phenomenon has definite social and anthropological roots
KEEP - I think this topic is a classic and now an icon of pop culture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.76.89.90 (talk • contribs)

KEEP!!! - This photo is a treasure... it has an impact big enough to be considered indelible to any deletion/change I urge this keep with every ounce of will in my body...— Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiseblood1 (talk • contribs)

Strong Delete Please ignore the meat puppets above. Check their user contribs, this is the only page they have edited. A pic on an web-forum does not make someone notable.--God of War 02:48, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. Global interwebnet phenomena must make more of a splash than 163 google hits. I don't generally like the google test, but it's more than appropriate for memes. It would be easy enough to spam a couple of hundred links about some bullshit in a night's work.James James 02:50, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While it may be a popular meme among a few web forums right now, the article (and external links [1],[2]) serve mostly to attack the subject. Oh no itsJamie^Talk 03:05, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Even though its the funniest thing ive ever seen. Mike _{(T C)} 03:05, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, only a few days old, looks like an attack page, too. User:Zoe|^(talk) 03:13, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete, non-notable. *drew 04:02, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I now see it's only a new meme going through the motions. --King of All the Franks 04:04, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Just another forgettable meme. — TheKMan^talk 07:07, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Yet another non-notable meme powered by flash crowd of anons. --Ragib 07:20, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Because it is a waste of Wikipedia space and serves no relevance. The article is in need of serious cleanup, and is very amateur. Matgraham 22:20, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:28, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
