Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elephant (wikipedia article)
I would just like to note that, as others have said, the potential problem with this article is ''not'' that it violates . Mentioning this material in the Elephant article would of course be a self reference problem. But a separate article is not. A wikipedia article ''about wikipedia'' is allowed to talk about wikipedia. The question, then, is whether the wikipedia article on elephants is a notable topic for an encyclopedia article. It seems to me that, what with the Colbert reference and its easy verifiability, it is at least as notable as, say, the Empire of Atlantium, which constantly survives deletion votes, or, say, Victreebel. There is an unfair prejudice against wikipedia-related fancruft
