Adarsh Liberal

I think term itself is popular enough. So don't see any reason to delete it.

Seems to be some Twitter-based nonsensical meme. No reliable sources outside of the initial incident. Nakon 07:08, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm sorry, but that is a Viral Internet phenomenon, covered in detailed in national newspapers, which are considered reliable. Similar Internet phenomenon had also been considered an a valid entry here. Why not this? - Vatsan34 (talk) 15:09, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I support the deletion. This is a very recent meme which appeared in March 2015, after the Twitter account by the name AdarshLiberal was created, which currently has only 8700 followers. This article serves mainly to promote the Twitter account. The interest seems to have died quickly. According to Google Trends, "Adarsh Liberal" was zero compared to other news of the period. Search for "Adarsh Liberal" alone shows insufficient data. Also, compared to the recent meme Tsundere Sharks, the Tsundere Sharks are far more notable. These memes belong on sites like Know Your Meme, not Wikipedia. It may be deleted and re-added only if interest increases in future. -Kenfyre (talk) 07:11, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Has received enough coverage to meet WP:GNG, albeit on the weak side, and also keep as per WP:NTEMP. While some of the articles listed below are short ones, overall, the topic is mildly notable as per Wikipedia's notability guidelines: ^[1], ^[2], ^[3], ^[4], ^[5], ^[6], ^[7].

Delete - There is clearly some conflation here between notability of the meme and notability of what's behind the meme. I would say that this article is based on the former, when in fact it is really just an expression of a larger political issue. It should therefore be a blurb in the context of a larger (appropriate) article, as it clearly has no staying power. NTEMP doesn't address keeping the article; it addresses the need for significant coverage, and I'm not seeing it - a few articles repeating the same things aren't significant.

Keep per North America1000. Subject has generated more than sufficient news buzz specifically about the subject, thereby passing WP:GNG, e.g.:[1],[2],[3],[4],etc. Pax 07:34, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
