This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous. Such material is not meant to be taken seriously.
THIS IS NOT AN ARTICLE NOR A ONE TO BE CREATED, THIS IS JUST A PURE HUMOR OF WEIRD ARTICLES THAT I ARCHIVED (Only the lead one or sections are archived here)
Context: This was brought to AFD due to being a Know Your Meme article than an Wikipedia article. The article has full of WP:FANCRAFT and sources by bunch of unreliable sources such as deviant art, fan videos on YouTube and a picture of a YouTube comment with zero likes.
Santiago is a meme character derived from the modern design of Classic Sonic from the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise. The meme critiques the depiction of Classic Sonic in titles like Sonic Generations and Sonic Forces, often portraying Santiago as an imposter or distorted version of Sonic.[1]

Delete - fails the WP:GNG. Not a single source present is reliable, let alone significant coverage. Sources entirely to fansites, social media, YouTube, Wikipedia itself, and other sorts of unreliable WP:USERG type sources. Sergecross73msg me 23:17, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
It it effectively community ran, the creator has also deleted their account, so it is hard to source much, one of the big sources I used was from a YouTube short "documentary", and the character made an official reference in a game, and a few of my citations were even from a writer of the Sonic comics...
I also used the main fan wiki etc. This is not worth deleting, it's a decent page, any "problems" can also be fixed with user contributions, which there will be more than a few. Charliephere (talk) 23:18, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
If it's "hard to source much", then it doesn't meet the criteria for having a Wikipedia article. That said, this cannot be fixed simply by passerby users. I don't believe the subject has any GNG-satisfying coverage by third party reliable sources. Think websites like IGN or Eurogamer writing dedicated stories about Santiago. They simply don't exist, because it never happened. Sergecross73msg me 23:29, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
Speedy Delete No reliable sourcing on a non-notable meme. This honestly should have just been speedied given everything regarding this article. Magneton Considerer:Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 23:20, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
Delete. Fails WP:GNG. I am unable to find any reliable, secondary sources even mentioning the subject. Woodroar (talk) 23:22, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Delete - no reliable sources or significant coverage ~Darth StabroTalk•Contribs 00:00, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Speedy delete per above. No reliable sources. Madeleine(talk) 01:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Delete No sources contributing to notability, and one of them is even a YouTube comment. That's a new one. QuicoleJR (talk) 01:21, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Delete all of the sources given is unreliable and the whole article is bunch of WP:FANCRUFT. Quick search on google news and google books reveals no result. Also I just love how he sourced a comment with no likesWarm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 03:52, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Delete No hope of attaining WP:GNG as there's no WP:RS - just WP:USERG here. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 07:38, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Delete. A really committed and serious effort to write an article about a humorously non-notable joke. MimirIsSmart(talk) 09:31, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
