Genuine question, Is this article notable enough to be its own Wikipedia Article? I am genuinely wondering as it seems to be a niche or otherwise irrelevant article itself.

I'm not an expert on Wikipedia's notability guidelines but as far as memes go, this is one of the all-timers. It's about 16 years old now and people are still talking about it.

I appreciate the expansion, but the
source removal confuses me -- it went from fourteen to eight?
This one, for example; sure, it's a passing mention, but passing mentions aren't bad. They don't confer notability, of course, but they don't detract from it or anything. jp×g05:27, 21 October 2023 (UTC)reply
I'm pretty sure I looked at all the ones I didn't carry over, but lemme run through them again and double-check.
This BuzzFeed article just summarizes Molaro's original post, notes that time has passed, and then lists a gaggle of disparate social-media posts. Nothing here is unique or valuable that isn't already covered in
in better sources.
This Yahoo! post literally just notes that ten years had passed since October 19th, 2007, and then links to the BuzzFeed article.
This post from Film Daily not only doesn't feel like a
reliable source on its face, but is just a listicle saying, 'one of our readers remembers and enjoys NPWLB'.
This article from the
University of Rochester's student newspaper can only be cited to say that NPWLB was once shared on
Tumblr? That's if it should be cited at all; I'm not sure about our stance on student newspapers. (Besides, the vlogbrothers further-reading link touches on Tumblr and NPWLB much better, if not exactly encyclopedically.)
BlogTO is just a Toronto-area blog, not really a reliable source, and
their article says, 'NPWLB was funny' and links to Gizmodo.
In
this Slate article, the reference to NPWLB is just a parentherical aside, at best possibly saying the meme exemplifies pizza's embodiment of freedom of choice? It's unclear at best, and doesn't tell readers anything additional about the subject.
The Mutually Human link is dead, but
archived here. It's one person's perspective on the meme, and their application thereof to sell the reader data-analytics services or software. Not a reliable source.
The links/articles/posts that don't handily fail as reliable sources, they don't offer anything new or novel to the article that isn't already covered by other better sources. Most of them are basically just saying, 'hey, this is a thing that happened, and here's a link to Gizmodo to read more.' Does that make sense? We'd essentially need the article to have a sentence saying, "[NPWLB] happened, was funny to some people, and was written about in Gizmodo.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]" — Fourthords |
