Unnotable internet meme. While searching for the phrase does get hits, they are either referring to the movie the line came from itself, or are pages that do not count as reliable third party sources. The only sources that the article provides fail WP:RS. There is no indication that this meme is particularly notable. PROD was turned down by article's creator, so I brought it here.

- Delete, it's been long enough since the movie and if this were going to become something truly encyclopedic it would have by now. Daniel Case (talk) 17:23, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - Beyond some unreliable blogs and forums, I can't find anything that would provide notability. Internet memes are only notable if they've had coverage beyond the typical blogs and forums they're found. ItsZippy (talk • contributions)
- Weak Delete There have a been a fair number of mentions lately, mostly in college papers (though one in USA Today), in articles about college memes and new college Facebook meme pages. Given that these mentions are brief, and are more about memes in general than the Boromir meme, I don't see much notability over time at this point.

- Delete Wikipedia is not a joke book. Even if there were much better sources there should be something to say about the topic, not just repeat the joke. (p.s. I am a LOTR fan.) Borock (talk) 23:31, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Not finding coverage in reliable sources for this meme. There are several hits for "One does not simply walk into Mordor", but not for "One Does Not Simply Walk Into". Northamerica1000(talk) 00:30, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- One does not simply walk into wikipedia and create an article like this. It's notability gates are guarded by more than just New Page Patrol. There is evil there that does not sleep. The great deletionist eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash, and deleted pokemon articles. The very "in popular culture" articles you edit are a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand inclusionists could you create this article. It is folly.--Milowent • hasspoken 05:28, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Just can't find enough RS coverage to establish notability. Kevin (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete nothing indicating notability here. Not even that widely used. RadioFan (talk) 12:47, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
