Non-notable neologism. Mr. Vernon ( talk) 02:02, 27 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep - it's not a WP:NEOLOGISM but a meme and has surprising coverage (Washington Post, Time, etc). Article is terribly written but it seems to have the coverage. Мандичка YO 😜 04:32, 27 November 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I don't think the sparse coverage qualifies for GNG; the idea smacks of RECENTISM. Chris Troutman ( talk) 02:59, 29 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. I would recommend that anyone who supports keeping this article clean up the citations. Currently most of the citations aren't associated with any particular fact or sentence in the article. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:17, 11 December 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep - Not a major meme, but certainly seems to have some substantive references discussing it, in mainstream media. Deathlibrarian ( talk) 03:39, 13 December 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Run of the mill Internet meme. WP:NOTNEWS.  Sandstein  13:00, 20 December 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Has enough coverage to make WP:N, and isn't a neologism. Jjjjjjdddddd ( talk) 07:03, 21 December 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per WP:SUSTAINED. The article topic has been covered by enough reliable sources for a long enough period of time to be considered notable. Deletion by WP:NEOLOGISM only applies to "neologisms that have little or no usage in reliable sources." [1] [2] [3] Joshualouie711 ( talk) 14:45, 22 December 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as neologism, and per WP:RECENTISM. It may have WP:RS, but that just makes it a well-sourced neoligism. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:44, 23 December 2016 (UTC) reply
