Does not meet notability. Content is mostly instructional. Cited Telegraph article is not about PlaceSpotting, but about "fun things to do" with a Google product. Veggy (talk) 15:55, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete: Although most of the sources cited are not particularly reliable, there are a couple German references that seem to establish at least some notability. However, I do agree with the nominator that it is written like a how-to and would require a significant amount of rewriting to bring it into line with Wikipedia guidelines. I might change my vote if this were to happen, but, as it is now, I don't believe this really adds anything substantial to the project. Topher385 (talk) 13:32, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is not a how-to manual for non-notable memes (or even notable ones). KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 14:29, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At least some editors seem to disagree in that some memes are notable; Category:Internet memes Exit2DOS ^{• Ctrl • Alt • Del} 18:25, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is nowhere near the detail that would disqualify it as an how-to . And the Deutschlands Radio reference is substantial, especially taken together with the other European references (in Google translation). The GNG is met. DGG ( talk ) 00:18, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Stern article in conjunction with the Telegraph article and the fact that "there is an app for that" get it past GNG. Exit2DOS ^{• Ctrl • Alt • Del} 18:25, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
