I don't see why it shouldn't be.

thats where i was sending people also. i was tired of explaining. i think it should be there.

Besides, it's not really easy to explain the whole thing.....

And as people said in the discussion page, it is much more relevant and popular than a lot of articles they keep.

i agree... the popularity alone should have it in wikipedia

This all boils down to the Encyclopedia vs Internet Culture debate. I would never expect to find cassieiswatching in, say, Encyclopedia Britannica. So, if you side with Wikipedians that believe articles should be relevant only to encyclopedic knowledge then the answer is no. However, if you side with Wikipedians that believe all popular cultural topics deserve coverage then the answer is yes.

This central debate has been raging since Wikipedia began, and the sides are almost equal in distribution. In fact, bringing up this topic to a group of Wikipedians is like throwing a fresh steak to a pack of hungry wolves, or mentioning politics and religion in casual conversation. Laughing

For the record, I chose a side in the deletion discussion, because I liked the handy reference. Wink

the main reason i believe it should stay is because this is far to complex to continually explain to people. and having it wiki. made it quick and easy for people to catch up when joining, or when gone for extended periods of time.

So which brave soul would like to file the undelete request so all of us board members can make sure to vote this time.

I did vote before--and the final tally was 14 to 13 in favor of deletion.

I'm sure we could swing it back...

Even the LG15 entry on the Wikipedia was deleted several times for being too irrelevant. I think it finally qualifies as relevant now; her entry remains.
