Delete Website jokes from 15 years ago are not notable. I do appreciate the chance to read WP:CB though. Cullen328 (talk) 23:19, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge into Internet meme. Shii (tock) 02:51, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As an article it fails inclusion criteria at WP:GNG. As content within Internet meme, it might survive. It is entirely possible it could be challenged there as well by the watchers of that article. My76 Strat 03:38, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Internet phenomena. Narthring (talk • contribs) 02:36, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and don't even bother with the redirect. This isn't on the level of Hamster Dance, I don't think it even qualifies as a meme. Sven Manguard _Talk 04:34, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Unfortunately, that's not even a weak keep, it's a very strong keep. Ate My Balls was pretty much the original internet meme and is notable enough for its own article. The article shouldn't be deleted, it needs to be rescued. It is a widespread tasteless phenomenon with hundreds of pages still in existence. Deleting this page would be tantamount to deleting YTMND or eBaum's World. --NINTENDUDE ⁶⁴ 20:16, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Satisfies WP:NOTE. Has received significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. Notable cultural phenomenon and Internet meme. -- Cirt (talk) 02:42, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
