French military victories (practical joke)
Unnotable, intresically boderline to French bashing in the first degree, of very mediocre interest at best, and no concievable expension. Rama 09:48, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 23:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable Internet meme in its day. Could use a rewrite though. --Aaron 23:43, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge. Enough interest attracted to be notable. Disliking the subject matter is not grounds for deletion (nominator expresses pro-UN POV on user home page). Andjam 00:06, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Verifiable internet phenomenon and evidence of Googlebombing.Capitalistroadster 01:28, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep notable internet memes. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 14:45, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: ephemeral joke, bad categorisation, generally useless - doesn't even link googlebombing. Pavel Vozenilek 19:09, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" button won't trigger this joke forever.  Not widely noted now, not widely used as shorthand for an argument, fails WP:Importance, ephemeral and soon forgotten.  Creating this article showed POV (albeit tongue-in-cheek); nominating it for deletion based on notability and expandability isn't a POV action, and a userpage pro-UN stance doesn't seem relevant.  Not BJAODN material, since it's not even humor added to WP, just to a tiny bit of Google's terabytes.  Barno 20:13, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep widely reported at the time, I wish the article had some more on the reportage. Carlossuarez46 21:22, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
