Keep Kingjeff 20:44, 24 December 2006 (UTC) Delete Nonesense, low noteablity. Davidpdx 07:28, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete an internet meme that I believe is not notable enough to have its own wikipedia article. Perhaps worthy of mention in the Google bomb article or Anti-French sentiment in the United States but not its own article. Jersey Devil 01:51, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Having studied googlebombs extensively, and I even created one myself (no further comment on that), I can tell you that no single google bomb is noteworthy in and of itself. The phenomenon as a whole is noteworthy, and is discussed properly in the article titled Googlebomb.  The specific example of "French military victories" is not worthy of its own article.  In addition, the article as written contains some factual errors and NPOV problems, but I won't fix them because it should just be deleted.  129.98.212.143 02:24, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak keep I recall this one being more notable than most googlebombs, having been mentioned in quite a few newspapers. At 2003 it was topical, due to the Iraq war and France using their UN veto. Perhaps since it's been a long time since then it no longer meets the Wikipedia notability guidelines, and is deserving of a merge or deletion, but at the moment for me, it's still a weak keep.

 * Merge and redirect Information about this should be added to the Googlebomb article, as it's a well-known example, but a separate article is unnecessary. Pinball22 15:56, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
