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 [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_computer_games_featuring_exploding_sheep|here]]. back then it was more specific.

*'''Weak delete''' pretty well-known Worms weapon, but lack of reliable sourcing kills it. [[User:Starblind|Andrew Lenahan]] - <b><
*'''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, --[[User:Trident13|Trident13]] 21:49, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
**'''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. [[User:MartinDK|MartinDK]] 21:59, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''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.

*'''Keep''' Is a surprisingly far-reaching phenomina over a large selection of games. --[[user:h2g2bob|h2g2bob]] ([[user talk:h2g2bob|talk]]) 13:13, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' Keeps a funny article that covers a concept. --[[User:Pupster21|Pupster21]] [[User_talk:Pupster21|Talk To Me]] 19:34, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

*'''Comment''': Several reliable sources have been [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Exploding_sheep&diff=129134697&oldid=128375681 added] by [[User:Pomte]] over the course of this AfD, so I'm relisting it. [[User:Krimpet|Krimpet]] ([[User talk:Krimpet|talk]]) 06:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' seems to be a popular cultural thing and seems have notablility. [[User:DBZROCKS|DBZROCKS]] 12:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Keep'''. Seems to be widespread enough to warrant notability, and the article backs up the claims with plenty of sources. --[[User:DropDeadGorgias|DropDeadGorgias]] ([[User talk:DropDeadGorgias|talk]]) 19:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' well referenced article about an interesting video game phenomenon. [[User:Resolute|Resolute]] 04:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' per other arguments given above. —[[User:Lowellian|Lowellian]] ([[User talk:Lowellian|reply]]) 03:58, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' Having read the references, at least 2 of them mention the usage of exploding sheep in the different game previews and reviews. Those secondary sources are reliable, and the article now is notable by Wikipedia standards.--[[User:Kylohk|Kylohk]] 09:03, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
