Darrin's Life
I think this is not notable, but as I don't follow Internet culture I could be wrong. However, the article asserts that "There is only one remotely famous person to even review the series", which indicates non-notability. N Shar 01:58, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment I don't completely understand... so videos like Smosh can be on wikipedia... but these are pure garbage and have no place on wikipedia? Welcome1 01:58, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Somebody please explain to me the rules I broke when I made this article. I cannot find it anywhere.Welcome1 02:16, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Smosh appears to be somewhat notable, where as the subject of this article does not seem to be.  Also see WP:WEB. Leuko 02:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment No one's accusing you of breaking rules. We'd be happy if you continued to contribute; just because this one article may not have been appropriate for Wikipedia doesn't mean you are a bad editor. N Shar 02:27, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non-notable series. *drew 02:29, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for that link, I can understand a little more if you are going to delete the article seeing how it's never been on television, won an award, or anything like that. Although, the series isn't very widely known it has a couple hundred viewers and thought it was notable enough to be here.Welcome1 02:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey, welcome to Wikipedia, and keep editing. But seriously, a "couple of hundred viewers" is well below notable levels.  A couple of hundred-thousand or a couple of million might be better.  You should also check out WP:VERIFY as well, since a subject's notability must be verifiable by outside sources.  Has the series been reviewed by national press (major newspapers, trade press, magazines, etc. etc.)?  If so, provide those links. --Jayron32 04:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete as well-meaning, but non-notable. And it's "Steve Irwin," not "Steve Erwin". eaolson 03:35, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete Welcome1 speaks the truth when he says the videos have had a "couple hundred" views. However, that's really nothing by Youtube standards (some of that lonelygirl15 crap has well over a million views), and even some short random videos have millions of views too (a kitten falling asleep has 1.7 million), and the most popular videos have 10mil+ (all-time high as far as I can tell is 34 million). I hope Darrin keeps it up and maybe someday they'll catch on, but they haven't yet. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  12:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
