Clock Spider
This is a non-notable meme that never found its way outside of a few forums. The definition of meme is something that is mimicked and passed along- something Cloxkspider has not been. Rimsy 19:50, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I've never seen a discussion about clocks or spiders that didn't include Clock Spider. — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 20:18, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete Funny, I saw a spider peering out from behind my wall clock the other day, not that big, though... -- O bli (Talk) ? 20:47, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Hey, if LUEshi can survive 4 attempts at deletion, why should Clock Spider be taken down? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patashu (talk • contribs)
 * LUEshi is at least still popular on LUE. Clockspider didn't really have the staying power, from what I can see. WarpstarRider 01:58, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. While it may not be the most notable meme out there, I still like Clockspider. Still doesn't make it any more encyclopedic... -Rmzy717 AT SCHOOL 01:45, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable, unencyclopedic. -- Krash (Talk) 05:36, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I'd like to see this page up, because I study insects as a living, and having seen this, I must say that both my collegues and myself are very interested. -Sincerely,  Bugman — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.53.205.223 (talk • contribs)
 * Keep 12,000 google hits for "clock spider". I wouldn't consider fark, somethingawful, and 4chan "a few forums". This article also correctly identifies the spider as a huntsman spider, which is exactly the reason I came to wikipedia for more information about the thing. This is the purpose of an encyclopedia, folks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.43.48.87 (talk • contribs)
 * Keep: Important and humourous meme taken up in large forums such as those described above, and also has its history amidst other phenomenons such as Limecat (which was a very successful meme).
 * Keep, this meme found it's way into my conciousness and I never vist fark, somethingawful or 4chan. Kappa 03:48, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep It is an interesting, even if anecdotal entry. It is art in a sense, and deserves its mention. Regardless of whether it may or may not be a good example of a meme, it is definately unusual and noteworthy.
