The result was delete. Neologism. May catch on as an Internet meme, but even then unlikely to meet Wikipedia:Notability (web) unless it ends up in independent third-party sources, which will require substantial time. May require salting if NC fans persistently re-create. Dcoetzee 21:04, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable neologism, more appropriate for TV Tropes, where it is currently under discussion. Note that this article has been linked from Nostalgia Critic and seems to be attracting a bit of attention at the moment. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:14, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Yup, neologism with no sign of notability. Wickedjacob (talk) 23:04, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. Way too new a term to warrant an entry here. —C.Fred (talk) 00:22, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A two-day-old forced meme is not notable at all. Loginer (talk) 01:20, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete immediately. Just a forced meme; created for fans of the Nostalgia Critic; supported only by the video that was released less than 24 hours ago (which is when the term was first used, thereby it has zero notability). As well as violating WP:NEO, it also violates several instances of what Wikipedia is not, including being a personal invention and being a first news source, promoting a meme, and expecting to become a popular saying when it is currently not. All sources are non-credible, namely fryingthecoke.com, a fansite consisting of nothing but a YouTube video containing a snippet of the Nostalgia Critic video and created shortly after this article was made in order to be used as a source. Basically, if it is a "legitimate" article, then the fifth bread slice I ate this afternoon can warrant an article too. —Onore Baka Sama^{(speak | stalk)} 02:43, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is no argument compelling enough to allow this article to stay. I mean, really. I'm a fan of the Nostalgia Critic, but anyone can plainly see that this does not deserve a Wikipedia article. Geez, this better not be like "malamanteau" all over again. I am the 0dd1. (talk) 03:14, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable. Move to Nostalgia critic wiki. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:14, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable WP:NEO. Jayjg ^(talk) 18:43, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (but not speedy). This is a clever turn of phrase for an improbable product placement, and I might use it myself sometime, but I find no evidence to suggest it's anything more than a minor neologism. By the way, we do have an article about Fried Coke, a semi-edible that will be familiar to anyone who's been to the Texas State Fair.--Arxiloxos (talk) 00:13, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it Who cares if theres a wiki article for now, if it doesn't pick up in a week or two then delete it 01:58, 22 April —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.133.126.186 (talk) 06:00, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it It's logical and memorable, I would use this in a conversation as it denotes holywood's attempts to make profit through advertisement without proper context to the scene. The page is well written and there is no real need to delete it. Don't be so uptight, it doesn't need to be ancient history to be part of wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.2.84.158 (talk) 16:56, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: This is a forced meme. By putting it here, you are forcing it further, hence making Wikipedia both a soapbox and a crystal ball. Also, it is not "memorable" three hours after it was first stated by a relatively obscure internet celebrity. It doesn't matter who the Nostalgia Critic is; Wikipedia has guidelines. It is a personal invention that has no press outside of Internet meme blogs, all of whom are fans of the Nostalgia Critic and not credible sources. No one is being uptight; none of these things are what Wikipedia is for. —Onore Baka Sama^{(speak | stalk)} 13:33, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, but... Perhaps the article for Jumping The Shark could have a section talking about the alternate terms, such as "Nuking The Fridge." Alternatively, we could add this as a section in the article for The Nostalgia Critic or Double Team, but I don't think it is enough for a full wikipedia article 15:50, 22 April —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doeville (talk) 14:14, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete it. So far it's a forced meme overall with no cultural base. --130.83.82.76 (talk) 10:19, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete it Will probably only be used by fans of the Nostalgia Critic, so not notable, not to mention it's a forced meme less than a week old. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Griper (talk • contribs) 22:50, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not a collection of stuff people made up one day. --Diannaa ^(Talk) 04:52, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- this is a valid term to describe being saved (rather unusually i'll admit) with product placement, it is a term that says alot about money making ways in films. It also fits right along in with the new movie about product placement in films. And By the way wikipedia is a community about stuff people made up because the names of everything in our world people made up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swsanders (talk • contribs) 05:34, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
