Kappa (meme)

Contested PROD. Concern was: "Utterly non-notable web junk." Eeekster (talk) 20:05, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Comment. Although apparently popular, it's difficult to find evidence that would indicate that this meme has become notable.  The best we've got so far is a passing mention and this, which indicates that a "list of twitch memes" could conceivably be notable  Out of curiosity, I tried a WP:VG/RS Google custom search, but it came back with loads of unrelated results, even after I corrected for the undesired fraternity hits.  Maybe I'll try again later when I'm willing to read through mountains of poorly-written gaming blogs, but I think I'm leaning toward deletion. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:58, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete, while it may be popular on twitch.tv, it doesn't have any significance or notability outside of that realm, as NinjaRobotPirate pointed out. In that case, it would fail the WP:GNG, especially the part that says "independent of the subject". Tavix | Talk  16:25, 28 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per various arguments above. Popularity is not synonymous with Wikipedian notablility, and the article fails WP:GNG.--Mr. Guye (talk) 23:35, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
