Talk:Dabuz Copypasta

Re: Deletion

It seems to me that the SSB Wiki does host pages regarding memes (e.g. Wombo Combo) as well as liminal interpersonal of community interest (e.g. Leffen vs. Chillin (Apex 2015). Mass internet phenomena comprise a fair amount of the human experience in this day and age, and Wikipedia hosts many pages on sufficiently well-known memes, e.g. Longcat, Nyan Cat, Loituma Girl. I would argue that Dabuz copypasta is a phenomenon that transcends what's typically given in a bullet point of "trivia"; for example, you can bring any of the trivia listed for Maister to Google and the results will have no idea what you're talking about.

@Cookies_and_Creme On further thought, perhaps the appropriate scale for this subject would be its own section on the Dabuz page? I do think that this 3-year-old widespread phenomenon deserves its own explanation, but there's not so much on the topic that it needs its own page. Lasercatte (talk) 22:14, October 27, 2023 (EDT)

A major difference between Wombo Combo and the copypastas is that Wombo Combo gained traction because it was memorable while the copypastas (at least as they appear to me) are forced and/or ironic for the sake of it. There's also the fact that at the bare minimum half of the "copypastas" are just other copypastas with Dabuz slotted into them. Also, SmashWiki is not Wikipedia--we don't have to follow what they deem article-worthy. You could maybe get away with saying (on his article) that Dabuz has several memes/in-jokes. --CanvasK (talk) 22:30, October 27, 2023 (EDT)
