Bubb Rubb

 * — (View AfD)

Nomination for deletion Minor, short-lived internet funny video. Survived first afd in December 2005 with a strong keep consensus although half the discussion doesn't seem serious. 46,000 google hits but mostly web forums, blogs, user video sites. 0 hits on Amazon booksearch. ~6 unique hits on Factiva news database with 2 hits in 2003 for brief CBS news stories where Bubb Rubb is mentioned as one of several examples of funny videos on the internet.

 * Keep: Just because an older Internet meme isn't getting any new exposure doesn't mean it's no longer notable. I fail to see how this article fails WP:WEB when it most clearly passes criterion #1, since multiple works have significantly used samples of the original KRON broadcast (soundboard, remixes, etc.). If your problem is with the fact that it's an Internet meme, then I insist that you also try to delete other, more obscure memes and see what happens. ---Bersl2 01:14, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Are there any works at al l using the samples which are not amateur-produced works or have substantive mainstream media recognition?. As for more obscure memes, its a Herculean task (no comment on which one), but I'll putting on my regular review list going forward. Remember, WP:CCC. Bwithh 01:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, WP:CCC, but I think your deletionist-exclusionist ideology is hardly on its way to consensus. ;) ---Bersl2 03:07, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I urge all !voters to view the linked video of the original newscast in the article by the way. I'm not sure what the humour of the clip is supposed to be unless its the not very noble "those people talk kinda funny haw haw" strain. Bwithh 01:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination; no evidence of any non-trivial reporting, sunk without trace. As for Bersl2's "delete other memes", WP:INN refers. Angus McLellan (Talk) 12:17, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone except Bersl2. --DeLarge 23:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
