Neologism with no indication of notability or suitability for an encyclopedia. Unsourced. I did find [www.chinadaily.com.cn/trending/2016-10/14/content_27065364.htm], but this is a single source and I'm unqualified to judge the reliability of it. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:26, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

  • The BBC mentions it [http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-38400802 here], although they use the anglicized term "skinny blue mushroom". Jafeluv (talk) 10:32, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
  • The Chinese for it is 藍瘦香菇 which I’ve added above. Google says it finds over 10 million results. Here’s Baidu’s entry on it, not in itself a reliable source but may be useful for finding them: [http://baike.baidu.com/item/蓝瘦，香菇]. It’s mentioned on the Chinese WP on the page for the Nanning dialect of Mandarin: :zh:南宁普通话--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 16:00, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Relisting comment: The Jan 7 AFD log hit the transclusion limit, so here's hoping that another relist will help. T. Canens (talk) 09:16, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

  • Leaning Delete — It's an Internet slang/meme that is only funny (to young teens) in Chinese; while I'm all for presenting Chinese topics in translation, I don't think any non-Chinese speaker will learn anything from reading about this in English. (Not to mention the writing is so poor it probably requires WP:TNT.) There's also no evidence this meme is ever used in non-Chinese speaking cultures, unlike Om telolet om.

  • It now has a Chinese WP page at :zh:藍瘦香菇, but the one ref seems far from a reliable source, not the sort of thing we could base an article on. Absent proper sources, or anything worth keeping per {{U| Timmyshin}}, I have to come down on the side of delete to.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 00:02, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
