The result was delete. The "keep" opinions do not address the policy-level problems alleged in the nomination. The statement "Having poor sources or lack of sources is not grounds for deletion" is directly at odds with the core policy WP:V.  Sandstein  19:48, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Having poor sources or lack of sources is not grounds for deletion. None of the deletion criteria at WP:DEL, including #6 and #7, apply to this article. Just needs some TLC.    Deus vult!   Crusadestudent (talk) 22:28, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * notability has to be established. If you can establish notability, I will be glad to withdraw my nomination. So said The Great Wiki Lord. (talk) 16:10, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - 7 videos in four years, especially when they have been deleted twice by the creator, does not indicate notability; existence is not notability. MSJapan (talk) 03:56, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep The fact that one of the videos have been heavily popularized as an internet meme that is still used to this day definitely justifies some notability and reason to keep the article. Some additions would be welcome however. Lucasstar1 (talk) 05:34, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Internet meme is not a criteria that establishes notability. Notability requires verifiable evidence and it "does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity." So said The Great Wiki Lord. (talk) 13:24, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
