The Very Secret Diaries
Popular slashfic, but not a general internet meme, never made it into pop culture. This is no All your base. SchmuckyTheCat 17:34, 15 August 2005 (UTC) 2005 (UTC)
 * keep, no reason to deny users information about popular slashfics. Kappa 18:30, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, '"The Very Secret Diaries" cassandra' gets about 1600 hits on google. Notable enough for me gkhan 18:34, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Andrew pmk 18:42, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete a "brief internet fad". -Splash 19:20, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Slashfic, even slashfic with 1600 hits, is non-notable. RasputinAXP   talk  *  contribs  21:30, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, if and only if the article is expanded on. There is way more history to this article than the little tidbit provided. TheImpossibleMan
 * Keep. There's no reason why slashfic is inherantly non-notable. --Prosfilaes 02:31, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This slashfic is inherently non-notable. Nandesuka 12:44, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Surely it's absurd to say that it's inherently non-notable; if it became commonly read in schools, or even as popular as Bored of the Rings, it would be notable.--Prosfilaes 17:54, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 14:00, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. As per google count, note that googling '"Very Secret Diaries"' by itself gets a little shy of 10,000 hits. Seems notable to me. Am confused by notion that something could be particularly non-notable. If it is well-known enough for many to have specific opinions on it, isn't that in some way notable?

 * "Very Secret Diaries" contains gajillions of hits that have nothing to do with this slashfic. Add any form of the name, "cassy" "claire" "cassandra" and the hits drop down a few hundred.  Also, do you edit anything other than this article and VfD? SchmuckyTheCat 18:48, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Sure -- I'm just only recently newly-pseudonymous. Tromboneborges 19:51, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Trollderella 01:44, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not encyclopedic--nixie 01:46, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The fic has inspired a fair number of other fics, to the point that members of other fandoms refer to a general "VSD" without explaining the term, so the article is useful, although it needs expanding. Google hits are not that reliable a guide for fanfics like this as they are mainly quoted on sites like LiveJournal and Fanfiction.net which don't show individual entries in Google.
 * Eaten by a hamster my vote has been eaten by a hamster due to the fact that I dont care--205.188.116.69 19:04, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems notable to me, by Google count alone. –Shoaler (talk) 19:08, 17 August
 * Keep Reasonably famous internet meme. There was a VfD for the author a month back, where consensus (admittedly ridden by socks) was to redirect to here. Sam Vimes 12:31, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
