Lacks reliable sources, and I can't seem to find any through Google. The claim that he has appeared on TV shows is completely unreferenced, and I can't find any evidence to support that. Just another non-notable internet celebrity? If not, then feel free to correct me. h i s  s p a c e

 *  Delete Keep You know... I vaguely remember seeing this guy on televison. However, he doesn't come near to meeting WP:BIO. Also, per WP:BLP1E, making an idiot of yourself with a little known internet stunt isn't justification for notability. Trusilver 19:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC) I find this guy irritating beyond all reason, but unfortunately it appears that he does have enough to sustain notability. Trusilver 07:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Ok, keep per Trusilver. Now if you'll excuse me, after seeing the stuff on Google, I have to wash my eyes out. --Ispy1981 20:56, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Scroll down to "recent TV appearances", it lists Conan O Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, among others. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.162.170.130 (talk • contribs).
 * Oh God, this guy. He's well-known in some online ciricles, but I'm not sure if he's notable per Wikipedia standards. On the other hand, I'm surprised that there are people who haven't heard of him. Weak Delete because reliable independent sources don't seem to be discussing him. -- Charlene 21:03, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Strong keep, 2001 Webby Award winner, notable internet meme, appearances in things like We Are the Web (net neutrality activism). Has this article been gutted by a BLP patroller? Seems to have been larger once. --Dhartung | Talk 23:01, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * HisSpaceResearch, try Google News Archive: 50+ results for peter.pan+webby, 35 for randy.constan. Pixyland.org is the subject of a profile in The 505 Weirdest Online Stores, quite a few valid results under pixyland alone. --Dhartung | Talk 23:13, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Dhartung. To paraphrase a post above, he made an ideiot of himself in a well-known way based on the media clips and web awards. Canuckle 23:23, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep based on the sources found Corpx 02:04, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep zomg huge meme... easily as well known as Jay Maynard a.k.a. Tron Guy. Notability is clearly present.  ALKIVAR &trade; &#x2622; 06:16, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - there are some good sources to use in this article, will add them if I have time. Strangely, he hasn't really capitalized on his web fame.Statisticalregression 07:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, as there are sufficient sources available to demonstrate the notability of the subject. The more the merrier though.  Burntsauce 18:11, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
