Result: outcome was delist – consensus and clear weight of argument to delist; no comments in over a month. Prose, tags, and verifiability problems. Fails to meet criteria 1a and 2b. Shudde ^talk 02:57, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The prose is quickly coming unraveled. Most of the "history" section begins with "The".
"April Fools' Day 2008" contains a [citation needed] tag. Might I suggest using this source?
Many sections, such as "Dan Kaminsky", "Michelle Obama", "Nancy Pelosi", and "iPhone Worm", are very short.
"2008 Christmas Facebook Campaign" contains many unsourced statements.
"Others" is little more than a trivia section.

My main concern is that the article is turning into an example farm, with lots of examples of Rickrolling that only got one or two mentions. Maybe it should be pruned to only the most widespread and notable ones.

Basically agree. Might be relatively easy to fix with a trim and by combining some sections. May look into it if time permits. AIRcorn (talk) 06:22, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delist Article has various cleanup tags that need to be addressed, including a cn tag dating back 8 months. I agree with the original comment that the short sections are a problem for WP:LAYOUT and the "Others" section contains an excessive amount of trivial detail. -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:00, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
