Non notable. It's just a cable someone made up, Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Tim 10:59, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - inane article idea. Peripitus 11:51, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I guess.... 17500 ghits? You'd think that this could be expanded into something weird and wonderful, but most of the ghits seem to be links to fiftythree.org (where the idea apparently originated, and from which the image is lifted), which also has AUI Killer, BNC-Killer, VGA-Killer, Drive Killer, SCSI Killer, Ide Killer, Floppy Killer, RJ-11 Killer, Localtalk Killer, DB25 Killer, V.35 Killer, Bus Killer.... where will it all end? I'd rather see this merged with something.... but I couldn't say what.... TheMadBaron 06:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Merging wouldn't make too much sense if this doesn't merit its own entry since it is already mentioned on BOFH. JoshuaZ 16:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As a (former) Novell CNE, I believe I would have heard of this if it were notable in 1995. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 23:31, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rewrite. This is a joke, but a popular and well-known one that originated in one of Simon Travaglia's original BOFH stories.[1] It was commonplace on alt.sysadmin.recovery in the mid-90s and the concept has passed into Unix and IP networking lore. Hardly what "made up in school one day" was intended to cover. Vashti 14:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done some rewriting on this. It's still something of a stub though - maybe merge to BOFH? Vashti 15:07, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NFT. Verifiability in question. Stifle (talk) 15:56, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
