Menarchy

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is another candidate for my proposal CSD#G13: Kids writing about something that cannot be of interest to the readers of an encyclopedia. This joke is said to have gained popularity in Australia. I live in Australia and have never heard it. The term gets 3,000 Google hits but a brief review indicates that they are all misspellings of the medical term menarche.

 * Delete, unsourced, not encyclopedic. -- Jeandré, 2008-12-06t11:42z
 * Delete then Redirect to menarche as plausible redirect (and to prevent recreation).-- Lenticel ( talk ) 12:27, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree with the redirect. It's a plausible misspelling, and according to Google it is quite common. - Richard Cavell (talk) 12:52, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Blatantly unencyclopedic, speedy delete on the grounds of the snowball clause and/or the criterion A7 (no claim of notability) since an article about something you have invented is essentially an article about you. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 12:46, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * In addition, the article (in the first deleted revision) originally said that the joke "... became popular in mid 2010" (i.e. admitting that it isn't actually popular). - Mike Rosoft (talk) 13:28, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete but there was no need to bring this to AfD, it's an obvious candidate for speedy deletion and if you tag it with that it'll go faster. &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 14:45, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Rule #1: If you have to say it's famous, it probably isn't famous. Rule #2: If you have to say it's funny and then explain why it is funny, it probably isn't funny.  Maybe you can say something funny about a minstrel show.  Get it? Mandsford (talk) 16:27, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I recently prodded this, but the author seems to have missed the hint given by the first deletion. Icewedge (talk) 03:31, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
