* '''Keep''', LOLCODE is a programming language, while Lolcat is a meme. Though the language is inspired by Lolcat, they are too completely different entities. Would you merge the article for the Python language with Monty Python (which it is named for)? Additionally, it is not a "fictional" language. It has a PHP-based web framework (LOLCODE on Monorail) and several [http://lolcode.com/implementations/implementations| implementations] via .NET and the Java SDK.

**'''Comment''' I suggest, then, mentioning LOLCODE in the esoteric language entry.[[User:Vudicarus|Vudicarus]] 20:55, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

* '''Delete''' and make cursory mention in [[lolcat]]. [[User:MrZaius|<fontspan colorstyle="color:Blue;">'''MrZaius'''</fontspan>]]^{[[User talk:MrZaius|'''<fontspan colorstyle="color:Blue;">talk</fontspan>''']]} 15:53, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

* '''Delete''' Although it is not fictional (as noted by 71.61.15.162), as this point it isn't notable. A brief mention in [[Lolcat]] should suffice for now, until notability is established (if ever). [[User:P3net|P3net]] 15:56, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

* Teh '''merge''' to [[lolcat]], heavily condensed. It is worth a mention that there's now a language based on lolcat-speak, but it doesn't need nearly this much detail, particularly when most of teh article is just copy-and-paste from teh website.

* '''Weak Keep'''. Notable as a meme -- I don't think many people are programming in it, but quite a few people are talking about it. "About" 250,000 ghits. Reliable source: [http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/004553.html] I don't think this is a copyvio; all the text appears to be original, only the examples have been copied. IMO, the examples probably count as fair use. Besides, the original is creative-commons licensed, so probably not a ''huge'' issue anyway. [[User:JulesH|JulesH]] 16:41, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

* '''Delete''' and minimal merge with lolcat. If we must have 'memes' on Wikipedia, let's keep it to the minimum possible. ''[[User:Angus Lepper|Angus Lepper]]^{([[User talk:Angus Lepper|T]], [[Special:Contributions/Angus Lepper|C]], [[User:Angus Lepper/Desktop|D]])}'' 18:27, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

*Hai! Plz can has lolcode in mah wikipedia? Do not want? O noes! '''Kthxbye'''. [[User:Serpent's Choice|Serpent&#39;s Choice]] 19:52, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

**Teh lolzorzz. Iz that is a delete? [[User:JIP|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#CC0000;">J</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#00CC00;">I</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#0000CC;">P</fontspan>]] | [[User talk:JIP|Talk]] 20:09, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

***I ''wanted'' to type, "Delete: No coverage in reliable sources and no notability as a programming language." But the temptation was too great. [[User:Serpent's Choice|Serpent&#39;s Choice]] 20:20, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

* '''Merge''' as proposed. It's interesting, but not notable enough to have its own page. [[User:Taral|Taral]] 21:48, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

* Don't know if it satisfies notability, but it gets a mention at http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/4862013.html now. --Adam Lindsay --[[User:194.42.125.16|194.42.125.16]] 20:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
