Every time you masturbate... God kills a kitten
Should be deleted or moved to bad jokes and other deleted nonsense. Not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Andycjp June 29th 2005
 * Keep. Fun little article like AYBABTU. Samboy 29 June 2005 08:04 (UTC)
 * Keep. Important meme and I think it's perfectly appropriate given a number of articles we have around here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) June 29, 2005 08:07 (UTC)
 * Keep. Although it's only vaguely encyclopedaeic, it's a meme that's big enough to be notable (and seen enough to promote the response as given on the page). Well-written article, informed and informative. Almost put this as weak keep, but I think it's widespread enough to warrant a full keep. --Firien § 29 June 2005 09:53 (UTC)
 * Week keep semi-notable, verifiably accurate. Dunc|&#9786; 29 June 2005 10:45 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Notable in certain Internet circles, particularly Fark.com, though it needs a better title. A &#1080; D &#1103; 01D  TALK  EMAIL  June 29, 2005 11:24 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable Internet meme and I think the article is very useful in explaining where this came from. 23skidoo 29 June 2005 12:20 (UTC)
 * Keep, definitely notable and a pretty good article already james gibbon  29 June 2005 12:56 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. --Badlydrawnjeff 29 June 2005 13:41 (UTC)
 * Keep. Wikipedic meme. -- BD2412 talk June 29, 2005 14:10 (UTC)
 * Keep based on previous web-meme precedents. I think the speculation on who originally created the image should be removed though (it's unverifiable since they apparently deny it) Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  June 29, 2005 15:55 (UTC)
 * Keep I've seen this picture before, it was pretty famous when it was new, and having knowledge about it doesn't hurt. EliasAlucard|Talk 20:06, 29 Jun, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Memes from Something Awful are not notable.  Almafeta 29 June 2005 19:21 (UTC)
 * Keep notable meme.     29 June 2005 20:45 (UTC)
 * Delete It is unencyclopedic. Barneygumble 29 June 2005 21:22 (UTC)
 * Keep this 'only on Wikipedia' encyclopaedic article. David | Talk 29 June 2005 21:23 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable webcruft. Martg76 29 June 2005 21:44 (UTC)
 * Delete, offensive title DiceDiceBaby 29 June 2005 21:54 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not censored for the protection of minors (or other people, for that matter). A &#1080; D &#1103; 01D  TALK  EMAIL  June 29, 2005 22:02 (UTC)
 * Weak keep.-Splash June 29, 2005 22:04 (UTC)

 * Keep. Notable. carmeld1 29 June 2005 23:58 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Longhair | Talk 30 June 2005 09:46 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable. Wikipedia is not a book. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish June 30, 2005 15:45 (UTC)
 * Keep, because there's no reason not to. LeoDV 30 June 2005 18:36 (UTC)
 * Keep, there are quite a few more worthy of deletion articles. Besides, since when was Wikipedia a real encyclopedia? &mdash; (Gateman1997 forgot to sign.)
 * Regarding your first point, Wikipedia is not consistent. The existence of some deletion-worthy articles is not an argument for keeping others. Regarding your second point, why are you bothering to contribute if you don't believe Wikipedia is/has the potential to become a "real" encyclopedia, whatever that may mean?

 * Delete. An joke spread around the Internet in 2002 is not encyclopedic Kaibabsquirrel 1 July 2005 07:09 (UTC)
 * Delete. No verifiable encyclopedic information other than its existence, which is evident on its own. If someone were to compile verifiable info about its standing among other "memes" or to write a scholarly article about the psychological implications or something, fine. Right now its just one of a long list. Dystopos 1 July 2005 16:04 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable meme Salsb 1 July 2005 20:44 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's a rather notable and famous meme. Spiritsnare 2 July 2005 9:26 (PST)
 * Keep. I remember this.  Notable.  CanadianCaesar 3 July 2005 03:36 (UTC)
 * Keep. Explanations like this belong in Wikipedia. Punkmorten 5 July 2005 08:24 (UTC)
