Comment: As much as I don't think a meme like this warrants an article, it does appear to meet |GNG, with articles in ''New York (magazine)|New York'' http://nymag.com/following/2016/01/like-bill-is-the-worst-thing-on-facebook.html, ''BBC News'' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-35344300 and the ''Daily Mirror'' http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/technology/what-belikebill-everything-you-need-7207029

Comment: Though I was originally swayed to favor Bill by the large amount of coverage available (see my entry above), I've changed my mind after looking  into Notability more thoroughly.

The directives just cited, along with the rest of the discussion in (E), point towards a standard of notability that has to do with having a persistent impact.  By that standard,  one should say at a minimum that it's too soon to tell whether Bill will continue as a cultural entity.  Is there an option to "hold" the decision for a period
