 * Comment - It may be possible, with all the varying opinions of Wikipedia, to find some sources that actually talk about the idea of "In popular culture". If that's the case though, then they are almost certainly editorials or opinion stuff. If the article is kept, the xkcd will go in the "In popular culture" section.

 * Delete Wikipedia should avoid excessive amounts of metacommentary on Wikipedia :) It smacks of ostentation. Ray  Talk 15:54, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and Redirect to WP:POPCULTURE. This was slightly amusing the first time someone did this when the cartoon came out. It got progressively less funny every time it was created. This is technically a re-creation of previously deleted material, as well. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 16:49, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to popular culture, which was the rationale for the original article. --Stephen 22:09, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete – Not notable, nothing to merge.  American Eagle  ( talk ) 04:04, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into popular culture. Bearian (talk) 17:59, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge somewhere for the moment, probably to xkcd. Somehow, I think that we probably will be able to justify articles of a good umber of the individual numbers of the comic, but whether we actually should do so, might be another another matter.  DGG (talk) 23:20, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to popular culture as before. A fan of xkcd trying to be funny. Should have been amended on first creation in March. At the time I could see the funny side, as it was relevant. But that joke's passed and no-one cares any more. Greg Tyler (t &bull; c) 10:39, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Popular culture per above, not enough here for an article. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 23:55, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
