50 Pence
Utterly non-notable garbage. Delete. Proto 14:31, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete apparently a spoof song, and that's it. This one is clearly no Weird Al. Wikibofh 15:12, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as re-written I think it's a small but notable article. Changing my vote accordingly. Wikibofh 20:28, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep, seems like a notable spoof, "in da pub" gets 4,110 google hits and received airplay on BBC Radio 1  Kappa 15:13, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I definitely remember this spoof. It's a worthwhile one and, while kind of goofy, achieved enough notoriety to warrant inclusion. Jasonglchu 15:15, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable but needs a rewrite to remove POV. 23skidoo 16:30, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I can handle that. Jasonglchu 16:50, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Done. I think it's slightly less colloquial and also more npov now. Feedback would be appreciated, if you feel it's still not up-to-standard. Jasonglchu 16:56, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:MUSIC, I think.  No listing for either 50 Pence or Get Rich or Claim Benefit at either artistdirect or allmusic.  A Google search for "50 Pence"  "Get Rich or Claim Benefit" returns 67 unique hits.  Nothing at amazon.  RickK 22:26, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: It's not a MUSIC entry, it's an internet meme/fad. jglc | t | c 23:39, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Where in the article is there a single mention that this is an Internet meme? RickK 21:50, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: As an internet meme, 67 unique hits doesn't really provide notability Proto 08:31, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I got 4040 Google hits for "in da pub." Tim Ivorson 22:21, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Most definately. Celestianpower 22:28, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non notable - fails wikipedia guidelines. JamesBurns 07:31, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Which guidelines? jglc | t | c 18:52, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * WP:MUSIC. RickK 19:59, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Rick, let me remind you again - this is as much a music entry as AYBABTU is a video game entry; which it is not. AYBABTU is a pop culture figure that happened to have its source within a video game - its notability does not rise from Zero Wing, but rather for the internet phenomenon that came out of it. jglc | t | c 15:51, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Tim Ivorson 08:11, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to British Fifty Pence coin. Dunc|&#9786; 09:33, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to 50 Cent. &mdash; Phil Welch 00:53, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, or in the alternative, merge. Marginally notable.  Alai 20:20, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, it should be on its own, not merged with 50 Cent or redirected to 50p coin or whatever, as this is quite notable. secfan 13:44, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, perfectly good article about a remarkable parodist, which has little to do with the 50 pence coin.Ratiocinate 03:06, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
