The Diarrhea Song
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. No sources, article is purely original research. For most of its life, the article has only been edited by anonymous IPs who have either added or removed lyrics from that section. Since the last AFD no substantial edits have been made and nothing has been sourced. Though a few people (including the user who contested the prod) will say that this seems notable, there are 0 sources for anything encyclopedic in this article. I wouldn't hesitate either to call this a complete embarrassment to Wikipedia's basic standard of inclusion. Cumulus Clouds (talk) 04:53, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete sorry, but the previous AfD is... well, a joke. ("Wikipedia, Wikipedia!") Just because something gets sung on the playground a lot doesn't mean thee should be an encyclopedia article about it. JuJube (talk) 05:45, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Not original research. While popularity isn't necessarily always a reliable indicator of notability, it is widely known, thus warrants inclusion. Master&amp;Expert  ( Talk ) 06:30, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as per WP:NSONGS. As per the main headline to the guideline, it states that "All articles on albums, singles or songs must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." (emphasis mine). ThePointblank (talk) 06:38, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Sources either reproduce the lyrics, or they're not independant from the creator. - Mgm|(talk) 08:23, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Not at all a notable song, no sources to provide anything more than the lyrics. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 13:46, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm thinking that this is one of those articles where we need to ignore the rules. --Pmedema (talk) 18:45, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you provide more indepth reasoning as to why you believe that? =- Mgm|(talk) 20:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not that WP:ILIKEIT... I know that I grew up with it, and I'm pretty sure that everyone else has as well...? It's going to be pretty hard to find WP:RS's for this but I could go onto the streets and start one of the lines and ask "What's the next words?" and I'd probably get "Diarrhea... Diarrhea"...and maybe even a "cha cha chaaaa" after that.--Pmedema (talk) 19:08, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete- There doesn't appear to be any substantial coverage in reliable secondary sources. Reyk  YO!  00:46, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
