Should this article have a hatnote? (CC) Tbhotch ^™ 02:22, 19 March 2021 (UTC) reply

Explanation

In recent days, the 2001 song "Super Straight" by Australian alt-rock band Regurgitator, gained notoriety within Wikipedia because of a homonym neologism created by an Internet user in another website. The article was created on October 12, 2019, and until March 2, 2021 (the day before the neologism became globally known), or 507 days, the article got 538 views (in other words, one view per day). After that day, the article has received 46,951 views (as of March 17). No, the song and the neologism are not related and this is merely a coincidence. If you pay attention to the lyrics it is practically a criticism to those who are now self-referring to as "super straights".

Currently, Draft:Super straight (term) is in limbo, is it be relevant, will it ever be, will it be forgotten in a couple of years, or maybe will it be employed more and more by neo-nazis and wannabe trolls causing media to continue reporting about it? We don't know. What we know, is that this term a) is currently used in the real world, b) another article does cover the term, and c) something people tend to forget about, WP:HATNOTERULES.

Discussion

• Keep, per WP:HATNOTERULES #3: "Mention other topics and articles only if there is a reasonable possibility of a reader arriving at the article either by mistake or with another topic in mind." 46,951 viewers did not arrive here looking for a 2001 song.

• Keep the hatnote, ditto on GorillaWarfare, keep per Tbhotch. Also note, while 'super straight' is more of a trollolol meme than a thing in itself right now, who knows what the future holds. Sexual terms like 'gay' and 'queer' didn't always have their current meanings, but people started using them earnestly and now they're considered 'real' sexualities. We might need a page for 'Super Straight (sexuality)' some day, if it goes from being an internet meme to a piece of common parlance, or if it becomes a recognized sexuality in the upcoming UK census. Not yet though, I think. Joe ( talk) 15:50, 19 March 2021 (UTC) reply
