Is the section below that has just been deleted notable enough to be included under the "Mentions in media" section of the article? -Justiyaya (talk) 11:52, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

On January 19, 2019, American Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat from New York) tweeted "All your base (are) belong to us" in response to a poll by Hill–HarrisX that 45% of the polled Republicans approved of Ocasio-Cortez's suggested implementation of a 70% marginal tax rate for individuals making over $10 million per year.

The deletion is reverted by another editor -Justiyaya (talk) 12:08, 29 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I think it's about as relevant as can be. It shows that the meme has escaped well beyond the traditional confines of video games and even made it into political discourse. It's cited in a reputable source by a celebrity politician. This isn't some backwoods obscure personal blog it was cited in. If this isn't noteworthy, I don't know what is.

 * I don't think it's relevant enough. A throwaway remark isn't a notable reference. Orpheus (talk) 17:25, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I had similar questions when I came across the page. I wavered over deleting it, but decided that it was worth keeping as a notable use of the meme in a context that is possibly farther reaching than it has ever been used before. Basically I have much the same feelings that @JordiGH has. We have to be careful how we think about what's worth noting; the meme isn't worth mentioning on AOC's page, but it is worth mentioning on this one. — HTGS (talk) 22:03, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I see this conversation is old, but should any new readers come along, like me, who are just now seeing this, I would like to confirm my belief that the AOC content is very relevant and an excellent add. God bless and happy editing. MarydaleEd (talk) 01:46, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

I'm making a change to the text for clarity, as the existing phrasing may perpetuate a misunderstanding of what marginal tax rates are.

On January 19, 2019, American Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat from New York) tweeted "All your base (are) belong to us" in response to a poll by Hill–HarrisX that 45% of the polled Republicans approved of Ocasio-Cortez's suggested implementation of a 70% marginal tax rate for individual income over $10 million per year.

The marginal tax rate is on the income in excess of the cutoff, not on the individual as a whole, as stated in the original text, and this is a common misunderstanding used for anti-tax propaganda. The linked description of marginal tax rates is also unnecessarily confusing; I may tackle that next. JohannVII (talk) 21:23, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

GAN
Let's see if we can get this back to GA. I've overhauled the article to ensure it's ready. If anyone has any thoughts on this, please feel free to reply a ping me or post a message on my talk page. Thanks! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) 01:54, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Possible “Fat Princess” addition
In the game “Fat Princess” for the PSP, if your team captures every outpost on the map, the announcer proudly says, “All your base are belong to us!” Would this be a relevant reference to include? Semicolin1 (talk) 02:09, 26 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @Semicolin1, inclusion of certain references has been a hot topic on this talk page since the article's creation. The consensus was to only include references that received widespread media attention (like the AOC tweet or the YouTube maintenance message) and that other references would be included in a "list of references to "All your base are belong to us". That list was deleted years ago, so unless the reference in "Fat Princess" received widespread media attention, I think it's ok to not mention it. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) 14:14, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
