I think it's still merely a meme. There are literally hundreds of "altcoins". This one is only marginally more notable than any of those, and those aren't notable except in aggregate, mostly as an attempt by the founders of the coins to cash in. (There are a few exceptions. Litecoin maybe, Namecoin probably, Peercoin possibly.) Making a new Bitcoin derivative takes a few minutes. The Dogecoin developers didn't even bother to do a search/replace on the word Bitcoin in the source and documentation in the source. It is a very, very, half-assed fork of the Bitcoin code base (I looked, for a laugh).

It should be deleted because some people consider it not notable? Personally I consider it notable because they did in a week more than most altcoin did in their existence. Yeah the modification are nothing more than a CTRL+F with some joke added but what it caused is way more important than that. Should we delete history for that? As small that history could be for you... I don't believe that. Some people suggested to merge it with Doge (meme) and it's not a bad idea, however I believe an altcoin that's currently worth nearly 3 millions deserve its own page.

  I think you should probably review the WikiPedia notability guidelines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability I didn't make the rules, I'm just saying I believe Dogecoin fails to meet the qualification for notability. A few blog posts about it and a storm of facebook status updates does not "notable" make, IMHO.
