I can find some blogs that discuss this commercial, but no reliable sources. I have a hard time believing this will ever be considered in the category of 1984, or even the Budweiser Frogs. It's a silly commercial...just like most of the commercials you might see nowadays. There's nothing to indicate anything's special about this particular one. I wanted to add a speedy tag to it, but none seemed to apply well enough. Prod was removed. Onorem ♠ Dil 14:57, 4 February 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

• Redirect to Denny's. This is a useful redirect -- plenty of ghits and blog coverage, but a complete lack of reliable sources means it fails the primary notability guideline; even marginally notable ad campaigns like Subway's "five dollar foot long" get reliable source coverage. If it had some RS coverage, WP:NOT#NEWS would still be an issue. Could eventually be covered as a section of Denny's or developed as a stand-alone article if the campaign ever develops reliable source coverage and historical notability enough to warrant it.

• Note: could also be redirected to Super Bowl advertising if people think that's a better location, but I don't think this will ever have notability as a Super Bowl commercial, though it could one day have notability as a Denny's commercial, if the campaign is extended.

It's too early to determine the significance of this spot -- it's part of a major national campaign by Denny's (gangsters and cowboys) that's been created by a major creative ad agency. There is clearly a groundswell of popularity around this that could become a phenomenon in time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Littlebabylamb (talk • contribs) 21:08, 4 February 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

I agree it's too soon to assess it's significance. That's why it doesn't belong here right now. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The breakfast event may have been covered, but that doesn't extend notability to a character from one of the commercials. --Onorem ♠ Dil 21:10, 4 February 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

Ok this is how it is. Nanerpus is thebomb.com and is basically the most ballin outrageous commercial ever and all you haters can get lost cause nanerpus is where it's at. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.0.20 (talk) 00:10, 5 February 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

• Redirect and merge to Denny's, merge small amount content to the super bowl commercials article, if need be. The is the saddest redirect !vote of my life because I completely agree with the anon IP that it is thebomb.com. No really, I LOVE THE NANERPUS. For what it's worth, theconsumerist.com seems a bit obsessed with the commercial, see here, and here. SMSpivey (talk) 00:18, 5 February 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

• Redirect to Denny's. Not notable enough to warrant its own article. -- Darth Mike (join the dark side) 04:38, 5 February 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

I believe there should be an article for The Perlorian Brothers - which Nanerpus can then become a section of that article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.125.6.101 (talk) 20:43, 6 February 2009 (UTC) [reply ]
