Poem for your sprog

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of a writer with no strong claim to passing WP:AUTHOR, and sourced almost entirely to Reddit posts and Twitter tweets with very little reliable source coverage: the only sources here that even begin to pass muster are a Harvard Political Review article which namechecks his existence a single time while failing to be about him, and a blurb on Vocativ which is about him but isn't nearly substantive enough to get a person into Wikipedia if it's the article's only legitimate source. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if his notability and sourceability improve. Bearcat (talk) 15:29, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete A somewhat amusing trend of writing for Reddit, but no more, and possibly less, notability than having a blog or sending out tweets. No sources that are not social media, with the exception of one name-check. LaMona (talk) 03:55, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete for now as my searches found nothing to suggest convincing improvement with only the same links listed here, found at browser. SwisterTwister   talk  05:47, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * To the creator of this article, User:Barry Wickle, bless your anonymous heart. To the creator of Sprog, thank you for bringing a little harmless joy to all of us.  To the editors commenting above, I know all of you from your work and you are sober, diligent people..., only, How can you bear to delete a Sprog?  My only somewhat tongue-in-cheek proposal is that we create a new template for: Articles too charming to be deleted.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:51, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
