End of Ze World

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A case for notability is hinted at but no sources are provided to back it up. I searched for mention of this video in The Atlantic and The Today Programme and didn't find it. As far as I can tell, this subject lacks substantial coverage in reliable sources, which is required to establish notability. The only other claim to notability is that some "catch phrases" from the video are popular, which unfortunately is subjective and based only on the editor's personal experience. rʨanaɢ (talk) 21:52, 13 March 2011 (UTC) rʨanaɢ (talk) 21:52, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fire ze deletion missile and hopefully someone can help this user with things like Requested Moves and notability. I plugged the video's URL into http://www.backlinkwatch.com/ and did come up with http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/03/17-things-to-do-instead-of-paying-attention-to-the-apple-event/71921/ - the link to this video being "16. Have a nap. (Then fire the missiles.)" That kind of incidental mention hardly satisfies my understanding of notability guidelines, and doesn't even give us any citable details other than that someone linked to a ~~YouTube video~~ YouTube version of a video that originally(?) appeared on Albino Blacksheep in a blog. Similarly, http://www.salon.com/entertainment/feature/2011/03/10/inception_60_seconds_video/ mentions the video by name but doesn't explain anything about it, let alone make it the primary focus. You might want to take a look at the articles on things like Numa Numa to get an idea of the difference between something that's been forwarded a lot and something that merits an article. Hopefully that helps. Gonfaloniere (talk) 23:09, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I viewed this video some times ago (and I enjoyed it =) ), but it doesn't meet the notability criteria at all. Article about a video with catchphrases is simply non-notable. Wikipedia don't collect memes or videos in youtube.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫T 11:48, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
