Deletion of Dopefish

Comment: A Google news search shows a brief mention in USA Today within the past week in an article primarily about Oculus Rift: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/saltzman/2016/05/28/5-things-you-didnt-know-oculus-rift/85086532/.  If you're the kind of person that's inclined to say 'that's not significant coverage!' you're missing the point: the coverage of this fictional element is enduring, and has made it to one of the biggest newspapers in the world this week.  Let that sink in for a bit.  FWIW, I'd never heard of it before, but if I can find that with a 15-second Google News search, I strongly suspect  was not adequately followed

Comment: to Tom Hall#Dopefish. As a video game easter egg, ''Pisces swimatus'' gets an impressive 37,700 hits in the ''Reliable Sources for Video Games'' custom search. There is a mention in the book https://books.google.com/books?id=sIcQYKcoH7IC&pg=PA176&dq=%22Dopefish%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj0lqTTpv7MAhUG0GMKHQUuC2MQ6AEIITAB#v=onepage&q=%22Dopefish%22&f=false Triadic Game Design: Balancing Reality, Meaning and Play. Mobygames has a http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/games-with-dopefish list of games with dopefish. The dopefish makes an appearance at Know Your Meme and has an entire web site devoted to it. Engadet calls it the ''Bruce Campbell of gratuitous cameos''. Unfortunately the book and the sources I perused in the RS/VG search are not quite in depth. A little history, then a list of games. Unless are in depth sources out there, the fish fails  notability criteria. But there seems abundant information in RS to support a merge of verifiable facts to Commander Keen#Legacy or better yet, to Tom Hall#Dopefish, the designer of the character
