Why the heck does this have an article? Why the heck is it a GA? Kamafa Delgato (Lojbanist)Styrofoam is not made from kittens. 00:26, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep No deletion rationale put forth by the nom. -- ferret (talk) 00:30, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Per Longcat, Brian Peppers. Kamafa Delgato (Lojbanist)Styrofoam is not made from kittens. 00:31, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * An "Other stuff doesn't exist" argument isn't valid. -- ferret (talk) 00:35, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I am referring to 2 precedents that are both more than a decade old. Kamafa Delgato (Lojbanist)Styrofoam is not made from kittens. 00:36, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Which you’ve put zero effort into explaining how they apply here. Sergecross73   msg me  00:44, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep: Only argument posed is OTHERSTUFF[DOESN'T]EXIST, and meeting GA criteria is evidence that it meets notability and other criteria. ViperSnake151   Talk  00:37, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep No policy-based argument for deletion provided, and WP:IDON'TLIKEIT isn't an argument for deletion. PohranicniStraze (talk) 00:41, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - no valid rationale given, tons of third party coverage exists, is in article already. Sergecross73   msg me  00:43, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - Per above.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:45, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Deleting memes covered by MSM on slow news days has been done before: Longcat (AFD), Brian Peppers (DRV), and Filthy Frank (AFD, later overturned without consensus or going through DRV due to getting on a billboard chart, even though there are actually 2 versions of the billboard charts nowadays: one that counts YouTube views and one that only counts CD sales, ITunes downloads, etc.). Kamafa Delgato (Lojbanist)Styrofoam is not made from kittens. 00:46, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * You're still not providing any policy based rationales. That it has happened before (especially a decade ago) is not policy based. -- ferret (talk) 00:47, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:ROUTINE Kamafa Delgato (Lojbanist)Styrofoam is not made from kittens. 00:48, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:NEVENT doesn't apply here? -- ferret (talk) 00:50, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Memes qualify as news events, and WP:NWEB and WP:ROUTINE can sometimes overlap. Kamafa Delgato (Lojbanist)Styrofoam is not made from kittens. 00:51, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Was there any significant coverage in Brian Peppers or Longcat? Because all I'm finding on a quick search through Google News are just brief mentions, nothing even examining it. However I can also point out All your base are belong to us and Keyboard cat both exist as articles, so arguing 'Routine' doesn't really fly here. Without seeing the articles in question, I'd reason it was probably more a case of WP:N.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:52, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep Per above. Just close this nomination already per WP:SNOW. 344917661X (talk) 00:58, 9 October 2018 (UTC)


 * - The "meme loophole" in the gap between NWEB and NEVENT needs to be patched. Kamafa Delgato (Lojbanist)Styrofoam is not made from kittens. 01:00, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
