Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dolly Parton challenge

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Consensus is that coverage was not sustained, and there is no clear merger target identified. The last relist looking for that didn't bring on any additional ideas, so it's doubtable another spin would. Star Mississippi 14:30, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's got sourcing in LA Times, Time Magazine and CNN, all about the challenge. Well over the bar for GNG. It was a brief thing a while ago, internet fad, but it's been covered by media. Oaktree b (talk) 13:56, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: All the sources are from January 2020. A burst or spike of news reports like this does not automatically make an incident/concept notable. A lack of lasting coverage suggests the topic is not notable. ––FormalDude (talk) 07:21, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Looks pretty trivial to me. Deb (talk) 09:22, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to List of Internet phenomena. BD2412 T 02:40, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd support a merge, but it's probably better off at List of Internet challenges. ––FormalDude (talk) 10:48, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:SUSTAINED, coverage was limited to an extremely brief bout of coverage over a single news cycle in late January 2020, with no coverage since. Devonian Wombat (talk) 00:39, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
