Uncle Bus

Not encyclopedic and not notable (at least in en.wikipedia) video. Delete. feydey 20:40, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment If it is kept then at least remove the chinese. Inapropriate for english page. Link to chinese page.--Nick Y. 21:10, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I am currently looking for people to translate the topic for me, coz I'm in my GCSE Exams and have no time to finish the translation, thanks! -- CMB Transit 20:18, 23 May 2006 (BST)
  • Update Improvements should be completed at this stage, with all the Chinese removed. -- CMB Transit 17:43, 24 May 2006 (BST)
  • Comment At first by a brief glance at the Chinese version, I believed that the article should be deleted. BUT after reading Dog poop girl, I don't think it should really be deleted. As regards the content, it's "more" worthwhile to delete the Chinese version, not the English version (as per Hong Kong Time 9:45am). So, I would suggest that someone cleans up both versions quickly.--Gary Tse 01:47, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep IF the yet-to-be newspaper articles are in direct relation to the game and come from reliable sources. If we don't allow an article on something that's very popular just because it's very popular somewhere else, we're not conforming to WP's "worldview" policy. If its notability can be verified by external sources, there's no reason to remove it from the English WP. -- Kicking222 21:01, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. What game? feydey 22:37, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. It is not a game but a truely genune incident. CMB Transit 14:20, 24 May 2006 (BST)
  • Strong Keep It is a recently-developed culture in Hong Kong, although controversal and unproven in English Wiki. There are evidence from Hong Kong's Mass Media noting the significance of the influence of "Uncle Bus" to Hong Kong culture. Improvement needed but doesn't deserve deletion. -- CMB Transit 22:04, 22 May 2006 (BST)
  • Delete per nom. RexNL 21:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep These event are totally real, it should not be deleted but refined, or other people will never know about our local culture. And cease per noming!!!!! -- GrigorIII 10:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Agree, "Per Noming" is not a reason for deletion, wiki people should read the reasons not the votes. -- -- CMB Transit 19:02, 24 May 2006 (BST)
  • Comment I think the article requires serious editing, discussion on the social implication of the incidents and its effect on language use in Hong Kong. -- Chaakming 12:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, verificable - meets WP:MEME [1] (zh) shows that prominent Hong Kong newspaper Apple Daily has reported on the incident. Will cleanup shortly. - Mailer Diablo 14:54, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Cleaned up, two major newspaper sources added, should easily pass WP:WEB now. - Mailer Diablo 17:29, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, those conversation has to be traslated though. Cleanup, but not delete. -- Starryboy 15:05, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete. Meaningless nonsense. --minghong 15:59, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strongly Object If it is a nonsense it won't have created so much attention and influence in Hong Kong, also it meets WP:MEME as what Mailer Diablo have said, no particular reason for deletion. -- CMB Transit 17:13, 24 May 2006 (BST)
  • It receiving attention does not mean it's not nonsense. And what kind of "influence" has this incident created? -- tonync (talk) (講) 17:45, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The influences are shown in the new slangs of Hong Kong people, as well as the quotes of "Uncle Bus" used by TV Stations, posters, etc. It is significant and please don't be so ignorant. -- -- CMB Transit 19:04, 24 May 2006 (BST)
  • Wikipedia is NOT censored, NOR it is for your point of view. You do not get rid of articles, just because you think they may potray a negative image of Hong Kong. It is clearly notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. - Mailer Diablo 18:07, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not a speedy delete criteria (CSD), coherent and not patent nonsense. - Mailer Diablo 16:23, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Many true happenings are ridiculous, such as the laws in some countries which allows you to marry when drunk and some allows you to urinate behind a car, not a sufficient reason for deletion. -- -- CMB Transit 18:59, 24 May 2006 (BST)
Throughout history, little things like this pop up with absolutely no long-term impact on the society at large. I see no reason to believe that anyone will continue to remember this in a year or two. --Nlu (talk) 03:31, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Clearly satisify at least one of Wikipedia's requirements --Mkeroppi 02:13, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Mailer diablo, as this article has been cleanup a lot, and also meets the criteria of Internet meme. --Shinjiman ⇔ ♨ 02:15, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep extremely widespread meme in asian circles... for gods sake I live in MAINE, and there was an UNCLE BUS POSTER in my local chinese restaurant.  ALKIVAR™ 02:28, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This parody should move into uncyclopedia--Burning Flame 05:04, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Ahem. This is not a parody, it is a real life event turn internet meme, which has been incorporated into the Asian culture in a number of various ways, as described within the article. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 05:07, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think this is a Hong Kong special cluture,we should keep it. --Tanaka Reina 05:33, 25 May 2006 (UTC)keep!it's a special culture in HOng Kong,should not be removed!!!![reply]
  • Delete Even if it is on news media it doesn't mean it is worth putting into Wikipedia.--203.198.178.241 05:42, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
