Personally, I think the inclusion of the Little Mermaid/Transformers trailer mashup in the same rarified Internet air as the ''Sharknado'', ''SpongeBob'' and ''Shrek'' franchises is in poor taste. I am ignoring that the entry as is currently stands as a giant run-on sentence for now. In my personal opinion, having a coincidence that got a couple million views on Twitter, hasn't been picked up by any "respectable" outlets outside of the nerd sphere (Not even the local news out in Franklin, Tennessee) and isn't in the running to be added to the questionable meme wiki known as Know Your Meme does not count as an internet phenomena. I could talk about the memes that aren't on the list yet and absolutely deserve a place on the list, but that would be a waste of space. |

If we consider this another piece of majestic "internet phenomena", Marjorie Taylor Greene would've been added to the Politics section before she even became a Congresswoman. [[User:IntMaMis|IntMaMis]] ([[User talk:IntMaMis|talk]]) 23:09, 10 May 2023 (UTC) |

Due to 10 year gap between GTA V and GTA VI and a huge anticipation between Gamers, Internet especially Instagram users started commenting "We got ''something related to the reel or image'' before GTA VI''" [[Special:Contributions/103.211.132.6|103.211.132.6]] ([[User talk:103.211.132.6|talk]]) 17:01, 19 June 2024 (UTC) |

:[[Know Your Meme]] is not a [[wp:reliable source|reliable source]] and its inclusion (or lack thereof) of a meme is therefore a non-factor in whether or not we put something on this list. Memes that are on this list are those that have received [[wp:significant coverage|significant coverage]] in [[wp:reliable sources|reliable sources]]. If you can make an argument that the sources for the Little Mermaid/Transformers mashup are not sufficiently reputable to support that meme's inclusion, then you may do so, but we generally do not remove things simply because they are "in poor taste." As Wikipedia is written from a [[wp:neutral point of view|neutral point of view]], the threshold for inclusion is [[wp:verifiability|verifiability]], not [[WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT|whether or not editors personally like something]].

* That Mashup is definitely ''not'' a phenomena...too soon to know and appears just as a short term happenstance. What we are looking for are concepts that merge with others and get repeated usage across the internet.

1) Honestly, what isn't on the internet nowadays? How can you have a phenomenon without it being an internet phenomenon -- how would it be spread? Print media? Chain letters? Telegraph? We could just call it "list of phenomena" practically. |

2) Everything that's not bluelinked should go. "No article" is a clear unarguable bright line to trim this list to. |

3) Some of these -- a few -- don't fit and should go -- I mean "smash or pass" f'rinstance is game people play at parties or just hanging around.

Q1: Why isn't (insert meme name here) mentioned in this article?
A1: Wikipedia is not an infinite repository of indiscriminate information; we cannot mention those phenomena which do not meet a standard of notability and verifiability. Q2: What does it take to make a new addition to the list?
A2: Memes must be proven of being notable for inclusion, using reliable sources that are verifiable. Q3: Why do all additions need sources?
A3: This is an enforcement of Wikipedia policy, to ensure that only factual detail is added, and to prevent synthesis and original research, which may pose problems such as factual errors and conflict of interest. Q4: Finding sources is boring. Can't somebody else do it?
A4: The burden of finding sources is on you, as the contributor, not on any other editor. Contributors are required to find credible sources on their own, and not rely on other editors in obtaining sources. |
