Skibidi toilet while a semi popular internet meme isn't notable enough for a Wikipedia page CPounds57 ( talk) 00:18, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep Clicking the Google news search at the top of the AFD, I see good results. https://news.yahoo.com/skibidi-toilet-creepy-youtube-series-180500777.html and https://www.newsweek.com/what-skibidi-toilet-inside-eerie-videos-taking-over-internet-1813590 and of course plenty of referencesin the article. Reliable sources give it significant coverage, so it meets the general notability guidelines. Dream Focus 00:21, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep as one of the main contributor of the article. There is plenty of independent sources reporting and giving commentary on this series. It have been used to show that a new generation, Alpha, is gaining prominence on the internet. You should explain how the currently references in the article does not demonstrate significant coverage. Ca talk to me! 00:32, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per @ Dream Focus. Additionally, "semi popular" is debatable.

- SNOW Keep: Poorly formed deletion rationale. Why? I Ask ( talk) 08:39, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep The notability concerns on the nomination are not sufficiently substantiated. It's not as self-evidently notable as others state, and the article does have issues and struggles to distinguish trivia from substance. But there's clearly a few mainstream articles from reliable news sources describing it and providing commentary on it as a fixture of online humor for younger generations. That's enough for GNG.

- Keep: Reasoning is flawed. Ryme071 ( talk) 18:39, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep The series has half a billion views on the official playlist alone, isn't that notable enough? Finxx ( talk) 20:18, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Snow Keep; bad deletion rationale and probably WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Internet memes can warrant articles in their own right, take " Press F to pay respects" for example. Negative MP1 21:11, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: Many of these keep arguments aren't the best and the article is not great either. However, as silly as it is, "Skibidi Toilet" is notable. I feel old just typing that out. There are a few good sources on the topic that are already in the article and its an ongoing popular series that will probably continue to get that coverage.
