[edit] Communist Mario

I prod'd because there were no reliable sources. Prod was removed(then someone foolishly readded it) I changed to afd, as my concerns about reliable sources were not addressed i kan reed 14:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey-hey! Now that's how to bring up a de-PRODding in an AfD nomination; good stuff. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 14:45, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• NN internet meme, delete Lurker ^oi! 14:22, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• I dunno, I'm not convinced about the source thing. I mean, all they really need to say is that this concept exists as a childish little YTMND-esque thing, and the links provided manage that in style (excepting, of course, the mispelling of "charade"). However, I'm not at all convinced that this "Internet meme" is at all notable or worthwhile. Is it likely to be remembered next year? Heck, is it likely to be remembered next month? fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 14:45, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - None of this stuff (as with most internet memes) is verifiable except through original research. Eg. "originally presented on www.murderize.com" - how do we know that? Only through original research. Wickethewok 16:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Expand? I think that throught the years of Mario's existence, there have been enough characters and politically-minded plots to warrant a Wiki-article, but this, as of yet, is not it. Dealing with the one theory alone does not provide enough substantce, as shown by the lack of creditable references. TgC19
• Delete, article about a joke. Gazpacho 17:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• The mention on the Mario article is likely sufficient and I would agree with the Delete option. If someone feels this concept merits more than mere mention, perhaps it could be expanded upon in the Mario article but not as an article of its own. Arkyan 19:51, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete beyond non-notable meme. Danny Lilithborne 22:58, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• If you think the mention on the Mario page is good enough, then fine, delete it. This was a big internet meme a few years ago, and if you do a google search for it, you'll find that people are still talking about it. The link on the bottom of the page is the original article as it appeared on murderize.com, and probably should be added to the real Mario article then somewhere. Bflorio12
• Delete, not worthy of it's own article. Jeroen Stout 16:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't know, Bflorio... I can't seem to find any reliable sources (and, heck, not many unreliable sources) "talking about" this. Merge it into the Mario page. It's a non-notable Internet meme and doesn't merit its own article. Srose (talk) 16:34, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unreferenced, no measurable significance. Just zis Guy you know? 11:47, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Highly notable material and referenced specifically. HEADON 23:34, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
