While it does meet GNG, it's for WP:ONEEVENT. How is this notable enough for it's own wikipedia page? LADY LOTUS • TALK 11:51, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ONEEVENT only applies to biographical articles, which this is not. This video has received coverage in a great deal of reliable sources over an extended period of time and so does appear to be notable per GNG, as the nominator notes. Everymorning talk 12:05, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The video has received worldwide coverage which passes GNG, ONEEVENT is irrelevant as that applies to BLPs which this is not, No valid reason for deletion. –Davey2010^Talk 14:30, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - From WP:1E "When an individual is significant for his or her role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both." Since this article is about the "event", (of sorts) this is perfectly fine. ― Padenton|✉ 16:01, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – As per WP:ONEEVENT, "The general rule in many cases is to cover the event, not the person", which is how this article is formatted. Furthermore, the topic passes WP:N per sources in the article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:04, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This now seems to have 818 million views on YouTube and has been acclaimed on shows such as Rude Tube. Such items should be considered as equivalent to hit singles in popular music and this one seems up there with White Christmas. Andrew D. (talk) 07:27, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Same problem as the previous nomination. There are just too many sources spread over a long period of time to delete this. For example, this article from Newsweek that was posted last week. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:15, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Easily meets WP:GNG. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 02:26, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
