This article was previously nominated for deletion here, and the result was keep. Now, I am aware that nominating this article will bring down the wrath of all that is Holy, but I must point out that it remains totally unsourced. The arguments on the previous debate basically fall into a couple of categories - "I've heard of it, therefore it is notable", "It gets lots of views, therefore it is notable", "I like it, therefore it is notable", "I see no reason to delete it, therefore it is notable". None of these are compelling arguments for it being encyclopedic content - and that is the crux of this. Encyclopedic content - it is beyond debate that it is a popular flash animation. However, the hallmark of encyclopedic content is notability - which must be backed up by reliable and verifiable sources. This article had none at the previous debate, and it has not gained any since then. I have done my best to try and track down some, and have had no luck. The fact that, in the time between the two debates, none have been added strongly shows that this is not only totally unsourced, it is, in fact, unsourcable - especially from a notability standpoint. Without reliable sources that back up the notability of an article, it cannot be considered encyclopedic content - and this article has none. The previous debate felt that it was acceptable to overlook this, for some reason not explained, but I would either like this reason explained, or this article deleted.
In short, this article has no
reliable sources and totally fails
notability guidelines, popularity notwithstanding. See below! Fixed!
