{{AFC comment|1=The sourcing is still not great, can you remove all the unreliable sources? BuySomeApples (talk) 00:58, 18 April 2025 (UTC)}}

{{AFC comment|1=Can you fix the cn tags and expand the article with text demonstrating in what ways Imgflip is notable (how widely used, history, who has used it and how it grew to popularity etc.)? With those two changes I think we should be good to go. Caleb Stanford (talk) 04:14, 23 March 2025 (UTC)}}

{{AFC comment|1=The sources don't demonstrate notability. For a subject to be notable, it needs to show coverage in multiple sources independent of the subject - the creator's LinkedIn and the website itself are not independent. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 02:24, 8 November 2023 (UTC)}}
