This entry makes very little sense, and seems to assume a reader knows the pertinent facts, such as what a 'tea lizard' is, and why anyone would care.The article should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF99:2080:A19B:16ED:515C:82F9 (talk) 13:11, 13 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

I concur with the IP. After reading the article, I still do not understand the topic being discussed. The New York quote meant to "summarize" the subject doesn't help either. Ruby 2010/2013 15:08, 13 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

It didn't make a lot of sense to me either, but then I guess I'm not very hip. Kitfoxxe (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Why is it tolerated that the author of this nonsensical article removed the deletion proposal? -- Nsda (talk) 16:31, 13 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Per WP:PROD it is allowed for involved editors to delete a PROD tag. With that said, I agree with the above that this article doesn't seem notable. If I understand it correctly, it's about a misidentification about a character in an internet meme. I'm not sure this is a battle I have time to fight now, but if someone else does, the next step is WP:AFD.Dave (talk) 16:44, 13 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

I agree it should probably be deleted (or heavily abridged and merged) in accordance with WP:GNG (and common-sense). Remember, "significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included" and it's hard to see any other convincing reason (beyond coverage) that would suggest that this needs an article.—Brigade Piron (talk) 16:53, 13 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

I've nominated it for deletion. Let's see what people think. Kitfoxxe (talk)

Easily one of the dumbest articles I've ever seen. Why was this featured on the frontage? I think it should be deleted altogether. 100.14.69.51 (talk) 19:38, 13 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
