Talk:Meme
From CC Wiki
Removed some of the smaller memes as I do not want the meme pages to encourage trying to create memes just for "ego gratification." - Nicknam4
- That would mean that there should be no memes at all, right... that makes no sense. - Walkingonthesun
- (please sign your posts). I am with Nick here (we actually discussed this on the main site's beta testers club). Look at Post your club HERE!. It happened yesterday - apparently -, and according to the screenshot there were four posts that lasted for a few minutes. That is not anything near a meme. The hard thing is to determine where it is a noteworthy meme and when it becomes an inside joke of a few friends. This is what we discussed in the shoutbox and it is hard to get a right answer. Noone in the Beta testers club knew of the John meme either. If you look at the pic provided, it shows that it is from a friends activity ticker. If you have 10 friends that join, does that make it a meme? I seriously doubt it. This should be discussed on a per article basis, but overall I think we should not be too lenient. Also note that a disproportionally high amount of memes revolves around T/Vprod. I have nothing against them, but a meme should have something 'big'. The loren646 meme is still ocassionally referred to, so that seems a reason to have an article of it. Shout if you disagree :) --Pino 17:23, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, can we at least keep the page, but not have it in the memes page? Walkingonthesun 20:01, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
