message: these aren't phenomena-
Hurra Torpedo — A Norwegian band that became part of a viral ad campaign by going on a coast to coast tour in the US that was paid for by Ford in order to promote the Ford Fusion car.

thread_title:  Websites 

message: This article seriously needs clarity as to what should be included and how to categorize it. I think that the way in which something is a phenomena is more important than what the item itself is. For example, Chuck Norris Facts and Walken for President are web-based jokes about celebrities, Tourist Guy and lolcats are appropriated image/collage, Chris Crocker is a celebrity blogger; from a net phenom viewpoint, he has more in common with bands that got famous thru online vids than he does with Chuck Norris (but right now, both are in the "people" section). I think having a websites section is a serious detraction from quality. Social Networking Sites are a net phenomena; let's just say that and link to a list of them from here rather than engaging in a popularity contest.

message: I created the term Internet Phenomenon.  At the fourth anniversary of this article, I must concede that yes, the term was original research, created without reference or citation.  Others have noted this discrepancy, moving the page to "Internet meme".  Strangely enough, the term has persisted on Wikipedia and has since spread memetically throughout the Internet, even inspiring an ED category.  To all this I say: I'm sorry.  
It happened four years ago, back in my first days of editing Wikipedia using IP 68.116.240.4  At this time I had not chosen a username, and on 14 April 2004 created an article on the "ThunderCats Outtakes" circulating the Internet at that time.  On 15 April 2004 I created the Internet Phenomenon article to list some popular things on the Internet.  The term was coined on the spot.  I should have linked to the "Internet meme" article developing later, but felt that not all popular events on the Internet are necessarily memes, and that the definition of meme might be diluted by including anything remotely popular.   
On that same day I edited the Thundercats Outtakes article to link to "Internet Phenomenon," in order to avoid its deletion, and continued to edit pages (OS-Tan, Pancake Rabbit) to link to Internet Phenomenon, in a petty attempt to justify their existence as a series of related topics.  After editing articles with various IPs, I requested to consolidate my edits under a single username, "ihavenolife", using the IPs 68.116.241.53 and 158.4.56.6 to request a change of attribution for an edit, though the service was discontinued before the request could be implemented.  This was in 2005, after my deployment ended, as I returned to Fort Carson, Co from Iraq. 
  
These were my noobish days as an editor.  Still, users added to the page, and it continued to grow to its current state, at its zenith attempting to catalog every known event of Internet popularity ever created.  The article has since been trimmed, and may have never been an encyclopedic article in the first place.  I should have made it a category instead.     
As the discussion warning says, and as various editors have discussed on this talk page over the years, Wikipedia is meant to have reliable sources, not things I made up one day.  With that in mind, I request that this article be permanently renamed, and all references to the term Internet Phenomenon or Internet Phenomena be deleted, on Wikipedia and throughout the Internet, as it has always been uncited and unverifiable original research.

replies: text: Wikipedia is not intended for something I made up one day.  You'll find no search results for Internet Phenomenon or Internet Phenomena before Apr 14, 2004, because no sources used it.  Any references to the term can be found in recent blogs and news sources because of this article, which is the opposite behavior of what Wikipedia is intended for.  Wikipedia is not meant to produce original terms and ideas.  No one should support the existence of this page unless you clearly support the violation of Wikipedia policy.

If what you're saying is true (and I have a hard time believing it), the article was unverifiable and therefore unsuitable at the time.  But it's fine now, and we don't delete articles as punishment for past sins.  Moreover, the article is about the subject matter, not the term.  Internet phenomena did not originate with Wikipedia: they predate our encyclopedia and they exist on their own.  It might as well have been called "List of Internet memes", although the scope here is a little bit wider. Wikidemo (talk) 20:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

==TV Shows' Episodes==
*Lovesick Sonic — In the end, there's a Sonic Sez about sexual harrasment, which Sonic is really getting advice. 
*Wacky Delly — Due to the popularity of Rocko, Filburt & Heffer making a cartoon. Can be seen anywhere.
*The Courtship of Stewie's Father — Peanut Butter Jelly Time parody by Brian Griffin. It can be seen on YouTube
TVB
Sonic gives Censored Advise is a very big Ytmnd fad/net phenomena. Max (owner of Ytmnd) was actually being threatened of being sued by Sega (specifically the UK located branch of the company) if he did not remove the site. Find the "official"/appropriate source document and it can be thrown up right away.
Wacky Delly = No
That is like saying the "Log" commercial from Ren & Stimpy should be on the list as well.
Peanut Butter Jelly Time is already on the list, not sure what you're trying to say. Are you stating that as an example of the fad or are you attempting to say that it started the fad? Family Guy has never started anything aside from the example of a popular show being bad, and the long fights Peter has with the chicken.

How is that not on this list. It has been a phenomenon since 2000. You could even say it's more quoted than "all your base are belong to us."
I second this request. "Do A Barrel Roll" has inspired countless prank calls, most notably to Tom Green Live. In addition, there are numerous YouTube videos devoted to the phenomenon. It's not as well known as "all your base", but I think it's a worthy addition to this list. F33bs (talk) 05:45, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

How a meme can be discussed using a reliable source?. I don't think that it's possible to obtain a reliable source to say what is a meme and what is not.  Or reliable source must be somethingawful, 4chan and (if was stolen of) Ebaumsworld.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.73.30.108 (talk) 22:39, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Also, I think the "¿Por qué no te callas?" phrase should be mentioned here, too. It was the spanish king telling the venezolan president to shut up on the Iberoamerica summit. There is an official song, ringtones and a domain registration (porquenotecallas.com) saying the popularity of the phrase.
