Neologism with no indication of notability or suitability for an encyclopedia. Unsourced. I did find [www.chinadaily.com.cn/trending/2016-10/14/content_27065364.htm], but this is a single source and I'm unqualified to judge the reliability of it. 78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 14:26, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * The BBC mentions it here, although they use the anglicized term "skinny blue mushroom". Jafeluv (talk) 10:32, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The Chinese for it is 藍瘦香菇 which I’ve added above. Google says it finds over 10 million results. Here’s Baidu’s entry on it, not in itself a reliable source but may be useful for finding them: . It’s mentioned on the Chinese WP on the page for the Nanning dialect of Mandarin: zh:南宁普通话-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 16:00, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Relisting comment: The Jan 7 AFD log hit the transclusion limit, so here's hoping that another relist will help. T. Canens (talk) 09:16, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Leaning Delete — It's an Internet slang/meme that is only funny (to young teens) in Chinese; while I'm all for presenting Chinese topics in translation, I don't think any non-Chinese speaker will learn anything from reading about this in English. (Not to mention the writing is so poor it probably requires WP:TNT.) There's also no evidence this meme is ever used in non-Chinese speaking cultures, unlike Om telolet om.

 * It now has a Chinese WP page at zh:藍瘦香菇, but the one ref seems far from a reliable source, not the sort of thing we could base an article on. Absent proper sources, or anything worth keeping per, I have to come down on the side of delete to.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 00:02, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
