Hello My Future Girlfriend
Non-notable. If Articles for deletion/싱하형 get's about 75,000 hits in Korea (about half-of what this gets in Google without Wikipedia (137,000)), and is voted delete for being non-notable, this should be as well. The only incoming link is from Internet phenomenon. By the way, past nomination is here. WB 12:51, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article made my day.  --HoH 00:06, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is a part of the internet which needs to be informed to everyone! He needs a grilfriend to tell him that he needs help. KEEP IT! It's funny but sad. Written by Laggy 19:52, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. There was a clear concensus to keep during the previous VfD.  I've never heard of it, but nothing has changed regarding its place in internet history.  Movementarian 13:50, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable vanity website. Atrian 15:09, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Atrian. Past success at avoiding deletion in a previous Afd is not germane; only the arguments given are. KillerChihuahua?!? 15:14, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete although it's not a "non-notable website" but I don't think it's a significant meme, as claimed. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px| ]] AfD? 22:10, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as neither notable nor encyclopedic, and this is exactly why I've consistently voted to delete "Internet memes" like O RLY when they've come up for AfD. On humor forums like Something Awful, "Future Girlfriend" was unavoidable a few years ago, and yet above are nearly a dozen Wikipedians who, in 2006, barely recall what it even was. -- keep sleep ing   quit your job!   slack off!  23:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * True: I also read Something Awful (and b3ta and others) and I readily agree that nione-tenths of the things which obsess Geekdom for a week or a month are totally forgotten within a short space of time. - Just zis Guy, you know?

 * keep I'm conflicted. It gets 138,000 hits in google, which does imply some sort of notability, but the alexa rank for the page is 1.5 million, implying that it may have been forgotten. Ultimately I decided that imitation is not just the sincerest form of flattery, but also the sincerest measure of popularity, so I let the google hits make this a keep vote. However, this makes me see keepsleeping's point, and I think that we may have to start rethinking our overall stance on internet (and other pop culture related) phenomena. --Bachrach44 00:52, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * keep Very notable
 * Keep, but both Keepsleeping and Bachrach44 make good points that should be followed up. For now, I think Keepsleeping point that "On humor forums like Something Awful, 'Future Girlfriend' was unavoidable a few years ago" is an argument for notability... but where will it end? rodii 01:20, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. -- JJay 01:45, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with Keepsleeping; a meme like All Your Base makes it in, but most fade as quickly as they arose and are not deserving of encyclopedic treatment since they are non-notable. Eusebeus 04:02, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, another notable internet meme that should be kept. --badlydrawnjeff 15:34, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 03:01, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: OK. Systemic bias then. Articles for deletion/싱하형 is more popular in Korea than HMFG is anywhere. Yet, that page needs to be gone, and this one doesn't? -- WB 07:04, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * If your issue is really about an entirely different article, see WP:POINT . rodii 13:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, maybe I was off-base there. But I don't understand what the connection is between these two articles. rodii 16:09, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, that person is far more popular (known by actual people in the streets, t-shirts, etc.) in Korea than this website, but that is voted for deletion, while this one is far less notable; nonetheless voted kept by many. -- WB 01:02, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
