Neologism with no reliable sources. Singularity42 (talk) 23:58, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I have never heard of the term before, but google turns up a large number of results that use the term. And while google searches are not conclusive, it suggest to me there may be something to the term that would move it past WP:NEO Monty  845  00:09, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * It appears to be some type of YouTube thing by one YouTube poster. I've seen a lot of blogs referring to it, and they are apparantly quite funny.  Without reliable sources, though, I think there is a WP:NEO problem: "Neologisms that are in wide use but for which there are no treatments in secondary sources are not yet ready for use and coverage in Wikipedia."

 * Even if you filter out the on-youtube results, there is still lots of discussion, but it is not clear to me whether that additional discussion exclusively relates back to the you tube videos. I'm not directly opposing deletion, only suggesting that this Neologism has a much stronger basis then many such articles that come through AFD, and should be examined closely. I suspect that in the pile of results there may be some secondary sources that discuss the term (or maybe not, I haven't actually found any, and they may or may not rise to the level of reliable sources).

 * Merge and redirect to Literal music video. This is basically the same thing, except applied to movie trailers. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:15, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:00, 3 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect - Looks like the same to me as well. It should be merged and redirected to Literal music video. Agreed with Metropolitan90.-- Damirgraffiti  ☺Say Yo to Me!☺   00:34, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - nothing here is reliably sourced so nothing is mergeable. Bridgeplayer (talk) 01:10, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
