If You Don't Love Me At My

WP:NOT - "Articles that contain nothing more than a definition should be expanded with additional encyclopedic content. If they cannot be expanded beyond a definition, Wikipedia is not the place for them". I failed to see the encyclopedic value in this article which is better off merged into List of Internet phenomena. King And God 07:46, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete No merge needed; Wikipedia is WP:NOT Know Your Meme.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 21:11, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I'm afraid the subject is a meme that's quite notable on its own, as numerous sources testify. The article can be improved, of course, in the sense that extant online-texts provide far more material than mere "definitions." Ah well, going to try and unclench teeth now. -The Gnome (talk) 10:26, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete This is not what Wikipedia is for. Get back to me in ten years about the lasting coverage about this topic. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 17:24, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - All of the coverage is from a span of a few days. Notability requires coverage over a period of time. Not seeing an indication this should have a stand-alone article. Also, the article makes no claim of significance beyond an absurd line of citations, and provides absolutely no explanation, context, or anything else important to an encyclopedia article (AFDNOTCLEANUP, indeed, but this tests the question of whether a data dump of web links staves off CSD). &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 20:33, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. I added more references, including some from yesterday. So the coverage still continues, and it is too early to predict that it will end per WP:RAPID. w umbolo   ^^^  21:11, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:RAPID itself isn't a reason to keep, as it's canceled out by the immediately preceding section (WP:DELAY -- now with a shiny new shortcut, given how often it comes up when responding to WP:RAPID-related keep arguments at AfD ). In other words, one cannot ignore the advice not to rush to create articles on new stuff and then expect people to adhere to the subsequent advice not to rush to delete articles on new stuff. Both are indeed good practice, but neither are themselves good reason to keep/delete. Ultimately, how I look at it is that there are times we look past our requirement that subjects get coverage over a span of time to show lasting significance if it's so obvious that they will receive such coverage. Internet memes, however, tend to get a flurry of coverage in a short timespan and only rarely see sustained coverage, so it's not one of those cases when we should look past that requirement. No opposition to userfying/draftifying until lasting significance can be shown, or merging if there's a sensible target. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 21:38, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
