Again, I don't see how a bunch of bored academics+A bunch of very bored journalists with nothing better to write about+a bunch of very bored people with nothing better to talk about=The sex lives and proclivities of a bunch of imaginary people.

Speedy keep as this article is currently on the main page (WP:SKCRIT#6). Elli (talk | contribs) 04:42, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. This nomination reads like WP:IDONTLIKEIT, no actual reason for deletion has been provided. Di (they-them) (talk) 04:50, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. There are no issues with the quality or notability of this article and WP:SIGCOV is clearly satisfied here despite the topic being a relatively new internet phenomenon. "it's strange/frivolous" is not a valid deletion rationale. This AfD and Americanfreedom's repeated (ab)use of the prod tag is pure WP:IDONTLIKEIT.

(Disclaimer: I have discussed this article off-wiki with its creator, Generalissima, on several occasions, however, she did not in any way prompt me to participate in this AfD and the opinion expressed here is my own.) Ethmostigmus (talk) 04:54, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
