- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was speedy keep. (non-admin closure)
No nominal policy/guideline related delete argument from the nominator. A WP:BEFORE nets hundreds of results from some very notable sources such as NY Magazine, LA Times, ABC News, Huffington Post, and the UK Metro in addition to the few sources provided in the article. Most sources cite the meme as "huge" or "enormously popular". Rapid consensus of the community to keep. Mkdw 00:10, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

This is not encyclopaedic
- Immediate keep, article does not fall under WP:WWIN as suggested. Worldwide news sources have covered the meme as an google search will show, plus yesterday alone there were over 200,000 searches on wikipedia for Harlem shake. Furious Style (talk) 20:08, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
- Second what Furious Style said. When there's a page for Cats_That_Look_Like_Hitler, this should certainly stay, at least for now. I teach media studies, and I'm including a link about the phenomenon as an optional reading in my Internet & Society class. Deejaytalk (talk) 20:37, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

- Keep. It's a "phenomenon", people will look for an article on it, and there are some sources to write one. The main thing is to be vigilant about keeping cruft out of the article. --Delirium (talk) 22:04, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

- Strong Keep - It's clearly a notable meme as indicated by the number of news outlets covering the event. CBS has posted at least two articles that focused solely on the meme in the past week.
