Clear and obvious COI; most sources about the topic are found on it. Origamite^ⓣⓒ 00:42, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Print to fix the COI. Oh, wait... --TL22 (talk) 00:52, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:TNT It took some digging around, but there is apparently some rather significant coverage on this "Internet" thing from books, newspapers and other print sources. Unfortunately, this article is so overly reliant on its own sources that I think it would just be easier to delete it and rewrite it from scratch.

• Merge to A. Wgolf (talk) 01:01, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep but merge with Google, Wikipedia, Amazon.com et al. We don't have articles for specific pages in books, so why should we have articles on specific pages on the Internet?  Liam987(talk) 01:12, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Obama. –Davey2010^Talk 01:20, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete: It clearly fails WP:A11. buffbills7701 01:22, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A11 being "Obviously invented"? Can't argue with that, it was indisputably invented. (By Al Gore or Tim Berners Lee, depending on who you believe).  Liam987(talk) 01:38, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Al Gore obviously created the page. buffbills7701 01:43, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Can't find a good source, all print sources seem to make use of this internet to some extent, haven't been able to find a single writer that covers it that doesn't use it for communication. Glad someone caught this, seems like it's been stealthily trying to control Wikipedia from the start. PhantomTech (talk) 01:23, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - No coverage of the internet outside the internet. Dough4872 01:40, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• SPEEDY SPEEDY Delete as per norm WP:IDONTLIKEIT too slow. Bobherry Talk Edits Happy April Fools Day! 01:41, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete - If we could live without it until the 1990s, we will manage without. Just print out everything and make a paper library. And beside that, WP:IDONTLIKEIT either. Hafspajen (talk) 01:51, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Guys are we getting ahead of ourselves? If the internet is deleted, Wikipedia goes with it. Where are we supposed to contribute our knowledge now? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:55, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Eh, nowhere. We just sit down and watch TV an go stupid. It worked before... Hafspajen (talk) 02:12, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep You can watch The Simspons on the internet.-RHM22 (talk) 03:12, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• You could also watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians if you wanted to, so that should be changed to a 500x delete. Origamite^ⓣⓒ 03:15, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to North Korea so they can hack us and the Communists will rule the world! Eyesnore (pc) 03:18, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Cats: The Internet, as we all know, is made of cats, so this non-notable item (that's not even a physical object) should just be mentioned there. Supernerd11 _{Firemind ^_^ Pokedex} 03:26, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into Kim Jong-il, I heard he invented the internet, along with his other famous inventions like Facebook, the telephone, and of course, kimchi. --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 03:29, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
