I find that unlikely, considering that Tehran is more than 400 miles from Benis. Perhaps the article is supposed to say Tabriz, which is only 40 miles from Benis? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.24.232.77 (talk) 05:21, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
@Galobtter: I was actually about to reinforce the passage with a reference to the page of the meme's "mother", Spurdo. It is a very old and well attested and popular entry, "Benis" is just a phrase by Spurdo and categorized as a "sub-meme". Is that enough? I haven't gone through all of the gallery, but the Benis entry shows the village (the connection has been shown in many memes across the internet you can find, for example Reddit).--~Sıgehelmus♗(Tøk)07:05, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
@Galobtter: You're right, although I would mote that particular discussion you linked is from 2010; KYM is a much more popular and refined site now than it was nearly nine years ago. In this case is the Spurdo article itself sufficient? In any case, the name of this otherwise forgettable village has been targeted and its page visited for years because of the meme, with a long edit history to boot. I believe it should be acknowledged somehow, and KYM seems a reasonable foundation for it.-~Sıgehelmus♗(Tøk)07:24, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
The Spurdo article hardly even mentions Benis. This article is about the village, not a meme or the Misplaced Pages page, so there is no need to include or acknowledge the meme; if there are no reliable sources talking about the meme then it shouldn't be included in the article.
