This article is too umimportant, and having a million views on youtube doesn't change that and neither does it being a parody of a popular videoRodrigue 13:31, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't merge... yet. It's premature in an AfD discussion, and probably generating a big compromise effect already. Merging and deletion need to be considered in their own time, in their own space, according to their own criteria. There are certain reasons for merging, but I haven't seen any of those reasons mentioned so far on this page. Merge shouldn't be used as a synonym for weak delete. Matt Fitzpatrick 06:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Honestly, I had heard of this a few weeks ago and when I saw this on AFD, I was expecting to vote the other direction as a cheap Dick in a Box knockoff. I did not realize that this has received so much direct and very non-trivial coverage such that I can only give this a firm and solid endorsement to keep. RFerreira 05:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. SakotGrimshine 16:57, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per outstanding non-trivial coverage, i.e. Rolling Stone, MSNBC, and major newspapers. Burntsauce 20:12, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This article does not strictly fail any of the notability guidelines; the Misplaced Pages "be liberal" pillar prevails here I think. Notability is very relative and this video would certainly be classed as notable in the university student community and I suspect other similar groups. This alone is sufficient rational for a keep decision on my part. 24.226.31.7 20:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Dick in a box as a separate sub section. Berserkerz Crit 19:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Uhh I know? That's why my opinion on this discussion is that it be merged as a sub section. It doesn't deserve it's own article. Did you want me to say Delete instead? Berserkerz Crit 21:12, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't care how anyone feels as long as they back it up. Specifically, does it fail WP:WEB? youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 22:39, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Well duh I would say Keep if it didn't fail WP:WEB. It's just a parody of the original more popular skit. It's millions of views are credited to the original because no one would watch that if they didn't want to see the original parodied. It fails WP:NOTE and WP:WEB so it's still Merge.
