Every time you masturbate... God kills a kitten

Should be deleted or moved to bad jokes and other deleted nonsense. Not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Andycjp June 29th 2005

• Keep. Fun little article like AYBABTU. Samboy 29 June 2005 08:04 (UTC)
• Keep. Important meme and I think it's perfectly appropriate given a number of articles we have around here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) June 29, 2005 08:07 (UTC)
• Keep. Although it's only vaguely encyclopedaeic, it's a meme that's big enough to be notable (and seen enough to promote the response as given on the page). Well-written article, informed and informative. Almost put this as weak keep, but I think it's widespread enough to warrant a full keep. --Firien § 29 June 2005 09:53 (UTC)
• Week keep semi-notable, verifiably accurate. Dunc|☺ 29 June 2005 10:45 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. Notable in certain Internet circles, particularly Fark.com, though it needs a better title. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL June 29, 2005 11:24 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable Internet meme and I think the article is very useful in explaining where this came from. 23skidoo 29 June 2005 12:20 (UTC)
• Keep, definitely notable and a pretty good article already jamesgibbon 29 June 2005 12:56 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. --Badlydrawnjeff 29 June 2005 13:41 (UTC)
• Keep. Wikipedic meme. -- BD2412 ^talk June 29, 2005 14:10 (UTC)
• Keep based on previous web-meme precedents. I think the speculation on who originally created the image should be removed though (it's unverifiable since they apparently deny it) Andrew Lenahan - Starblind June 29, 2005 15:55 (UTC)
• Keep I've seen this picture before, it was pretty famous when it was new, and having knowledge about it doesn't hurt. EliasAlucard|Talk 20:06, 29 Jun, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Memes from Something Awful are not notable. Almafeta 29 June 2005 19:21 (UTC)
• Keep notable meme. ~~~~ 29 June 2005 20:45 (UTC)
• Delete It is unencyclopedic. Barneygumble 29 June 2005 21:22 (UTC)
• Keep this 'only on Wikipedia' encyclopaedic article. David | Talk 29 June 2005 21:23 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable webcruft. Martg76 29 June 2005 21:44 (UTC)
• Delete , offensive title DiceDiceBaby 29 June 2005 21:54 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia is not censored for the protection of minors (or other people, for that matter). AиDя01DTALKEMAIL June 29, 2005 22:02 (UTC)
• Weak keep.-Splash June 29, 2005 22:04 (UTC)
• Keep. It exists outside of WP, no? Falcon June 29, 2005 22:19 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable. carmeld1 29 June 2005 23:58 (UTC)
• Keep -- Longhair | Talk 30 June 2005 09:46 (UTC)
• Keep, notable. Wikipedia is not a book. .:.Jareth.:. ^babelfish June 30, 2005 15:45 (UTC)
• Keep, because there's no reason not to. LeoDV 30 June 2005 18:36 (UTC)
• Keep, there are quite a few more worthy of deletion articles. Besides, since when was Wikipedia a real encyclopedia? — (Gateman1997 forgot to sign.)
  • Regarding your first point, Wikipedia is not consistent. The existence of some deletion-worthy articles is not an argument for keeping others. Regarding your second point, why are you bothering to contribute if you don't believe Wikipedia is/has the potential to become a "real" encyclopedia, whatever that may mean?

• Delete. An joke spread around the Internet in 2002 is not encyclopedic Kaibabsquirrel 1 July 2005 07:09 (UTC)
• Delete. No verifiable encyclopedic information other than its existence, which is evident on its own. If someone were to compile verifiable info about its standing among other "memes" or to write a scholarly article about the psychological implications or something, fine. Right now its just one of a long list. Dystopos 1 July 2005 16:04 (UTC)
• Keep Notable meme Salsb 1 July 2005 20:44 (UTC)
• Keep. It's a rather notable and famous meme. Spiritsnare 2 July 2005 9:26 (PST)
• Keep. I remember this. Notable. CanadianCaesar 3 July 2005 03:36 (UTC)
• Keep. Explanations like this belong in Wikipedia. Punkmorten 5 July 2005 08:24 (UTC)
