Exploding sheep

Though not entirely as silly as the title indicates this article provides no proof of notability as per WP:N and WP:RS. It is mostly about exploding sheep in a group of video games and has then been expanded with references to various unrelated uses of the words "exploding sheep". This survived an AfD 3 years ago which is available here. back then it was more specific. MartinDK 06:09, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete pretty well-known Worms weapon, but lack of reliable sourcing kills it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:46, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as someone said at the time of the last AfD, "I'm going to regret this later!" I think a references tag should have been apllied first so that one of the game enthusiasts could have addressed the needs brought up in the nomination. There's enough of a trend to suggest this is not trivia. Rgds, --Trident13 21:49, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This article has existed in its current version for 3 years. During those 3 years the only reference that has been added is a link to a fansite that asserts no notability. WP:N and WP:RS are pretty clear on what makes a reliable source and how notability is asserted. In a situation like this a references tag is just a way to avoid AfD. I think we all know deep down that no one is going to add any references because you tag it. The backlog of unsourced articles is huge already. If sources are indeed available then there are 5 days to add them and the AfD template on the article is pretty hard to miss. MartinDK 21:59, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, there's nothing to establish this as a notable phenomenon any more than "blue car." We need sources talking about the subject, otherwise it's original research to consider it as a unified topic. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 04:27, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
