Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Obama Girl
Persons asserting that "It will be very quickly forgotten" are very confident in their personal |crystal ball. That is not a good basis for deletion of something that satisfies  and . It has been the subject of lengthy independent stories in a number of newspapers (not just blogs) such as the Chicago Tribune http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-070614ads,1,6713423.story?coll=chi-news-Хhed, besides the ones already cited. That said, it should be judged by the "rejected" , a notability standard for internet memes. There seems to be some implicit standard for judging such memes, because Bus Uncle, a celphone video of an old guy raving in a pugnacious manner on a bus, was appareently never even nominated for deletion, and actually became a featured article. Bus Uncle got 1.7 million viewings on Youtube in 3 weeks, or 81,000 per day while Obama Girl received 777,000 viewings in 3 day, or 259,000 per day, over 3 times the viewing rate. I could see deleting it on the basis that per OT Wikipedia is not a newspaper, in keeping with the essay OTNEWS, which calls for deleting mere "water-cooler" stories
