Celebrities
The definition of an internet phenomenon can not be limited to the definition suggested; that one rises from the unknown to internet fame. The definition is faulty, as compiled and edited editions of content featuring celebrities very well can be regarded as a phenomenon, and is created by people whom are NOT celebrities.
A Mexican Video Out of Link
As said by the user who talked about Delfin Quishpe, I think the article about MeAnda - Don should be listed here because IT IS an internet phenomena in Latin America. You can check this googleing "MeAnda" "MeAnda Don" and "VideoGENTE" and you should see all blogs and pages that mention the video. Also, try a search for "Meanda" in YouTube and you'll find at least 4 pages for the video uploaded by different users (not counting all results that don't appear with that word).
In the other hand, the site has claimed his videos are copyright-free (they have a CC license posted in their site [1]) and the owners of the site have included an article there about the "MeAnda - Don" wikipedia entry. Please bring comments to revert the unincluding. --Kalfusion 06:46, 25 January 2007

Some others.
Here some other examples we maybe should put in:
SPONGEBOB: Many scenes from Spongebob have become famous on YouTube and caused many other videos to mke parodies. These are "Patrick catches the Ugly", "Deuueaugh" and "*Insert name here* drops in Squidward's house".
REN AND STIMPY:
The same thing with the "You dare not agree with *Insert name here*" scene from one episode.
Also, there is a real hype on YouTube with videos including the phase "What the fuck Boom!", usually written WTF BOOM!

- Being popular on YouTube dose not mean they are notable. You need to present external references to back up the claims. News and articles about the videos would be useful. Kyle1278 03:59, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
Is that enough? --84.113.33.181 (talk) 01:03, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
- Know Your Meme is not acceptable as it is a blog-like site that anyone can contribute to. --MASEM (t) 01:06, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
- So wikipedia is also not acceptable.--190.22.98.81 (talk) 02:58, 14 August 2011 (UTC)--190.22.98.81 (talk) 02:58, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- Come on, know the difference. There are lots of other editors here who check to see if the info is backed up by reliable sources. Know Your Meme has none of that - its a warehouse where everyone throws in a meme and more often than not it isn't a meme, or it isn't a notable one. Work with us, please. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 16:17, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- Granted, KYM's moderators, when they "promote" a meme from submitted to confirmed, try to add sourcing to make it better, but the site is still a very far cry from being reliable due to the strong participatory nature. --MASEM (t) 16:33, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Not done I'd suggest this be taken to Talk:Little Superstar and/or Talk:Athisaya Piravi for clarification. --Trevj (talk) 06:09, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Petition to change the word "panties" to the less Americanised term "underwear".

Following entry has wrong geographic location. The incident happened in Iraq, not Hawaii.
- Puppy-throwing Marine viral video – A viral video from March 2008 of a US Marine stationed in Hawaii throwing a puppy off of a cliff.
Corrected version:

Chuck Testa
Should that Chuck Testa guy be added? There are plenty of sources to create an article about him if someone wants to do it and I hear he is becoming quite popular with that commericial of his.
