"I highly question how "notable" this community is. See the guy talking about meme's a couple of paragraphs above for my point. At least the ones that have indeed affected the community (the rest can be left to the external link given). "this page is for pretty much any Wikipedia visitor who is interested in encyclopedic information about the 4chan community." Given such arrogant decisions, I guess I must be wrong. I was under the impression that Wikipedia was something of an 'open-source' encyclopedia.We will decide in our own time what to do about the memes." "No, no, no. Just getting rid of this neurotic nagging urge I have.I don't know, I had seen cockmongler quite a few places before finding 4chan at all, so that, if nothing else should be mentioned I think - Man_of_Mystery.This section of wkipedia was very informative and useful. This was particularly useful since no one on 4-chan will actually answer any question you ask about anything. That way if someone had a question about a meme or what they were seeing, wikipedia would answer it for them. It was not just a simple list of what each meme was. I can already see Pedobear, O RLY, YA RLY - Apoc2400 20:42, 21 August 2005 (UTC) The reason the memes were listed were to give information as to who started them, when, why, and how. Because of not, people will start new articles instead. The current behaviour by community members only confirms the idea of this community being an unnotable niche on the internet. Notable communities are Something Awful, Fark and GameFAQs, for example. I'm tempted to put it up on WP:VfD instead because I highly question how "notable" this community is. Lastly, it is NOT up to the 4chan people to decide what happens with this article, so why don't you play along with the democratic process as well while I move this to cleanup. This page is 'rlyNOT a reflection of 4chan either, it's an article that is meant to give good information about 4chan. This page is NOT' for 4chan, this page is for pretty much any Wikipedia visitor who is interested in encyclopedic information about the 4chan community. Deleting the entire section will merely make another damn vandalism war, so kindly participate in the democratic method and stop acting like WTSnacks. We will decide in our own time what to do about the memes. Wow you win at pretentious Wiki Godlyhood.We list FACTS here, not useless POV trivia. :: DarkLordSeth 15:21, (UTC) Besides, all memes and "famous poster"s are highly POV some people might think of a meme as the next best thing as sliced bread, others may hate it. The memes and "famous poster" bits ARE useless trivia. On Wikipedia we don't include useless trivia. There are lots of famous little tidbits about lots of things.Your justification is limiting it to not giving the memes their own article. If it's famous as part of 4chan, then surely the memes should be listed.However, in-depth explanations of the 4chan's memes are not to be considered encyclopedic. :: DarkLordSeth 00:00, (UTC) Encyclopedic information about 4chan would be some details about it's origins, the fact it's been declared dead half a dozen times and that's pretty much it. These memes are NOT widely known enough to justify inclusion in here. If it's famous to just 4chan and not the rest of the world, it should remain on 4chan. Just because it's not famous to the rest of the Web doesn't mean it's not famous to 4chan. Also, they're referenced by users and by the 4chan community. Memes, at least the widespread ones, are PART of 4chan culture and thus deserve to be included. It's an encyclopedia entry about 4chan culture. Any objections with good reasoning? :: DarkLordSeth 14:59, (UTC) I'll archive them to the talk page if you want. Once something reaching the level of " All your base are belong to us", THEN it's big enough to include in Wikipedia. Second of all, none of those memes are famous or well-known enough to be even worthy of mention on here. First of all, this kind of stuff doesn't belong in an excyclopedia. I'm more thinking of removal instead of streamlining.Any objections with good reasoning? :: DarkLordSeth 00:00, (UTC) Together with the fact that the memes are a complete mess and not really fit for inclusion in an encyclopedia, I think they should be removed. ), interesting nor well-known on other communities. Why the hell are all memes listed? None of them are particulary funny ( some are actually painfully unfunny.
