Notability?

edit

I don't see what makes this meme, which seems largely sourced to low-quality listicles, any more inherently notable than the many, many other reaction images proliferating the internet, especially not enough to deserve a page when neither the character that the image depicts nor even the series it is from nor the actor who plays him have pages. Which also brings me to the title of this page. Even if this is kept, it should probably have a different name because this title just makes it sound like the page is about the character and does nothing to make clear the fact it's about one specific meme. Rickrolling isn't just called "Rick Astley" or even "Never Gonna Give You Up". But I'm still not sure this even should at all. There are many reaction images, even many more famous and more widely used ones (certainly ones I have seen more often and for FAR longer lasting periods), that we could surely find various listicles mentioning as well. This doesn't even seem a particularly notable example of internet phenomena, since it is inherently "ephemeral" in nature (as a reaction meme, it's not like, say, Lolcats, which have a meaning of their own, but is only ever used contextually in response to a certain thing - it's reactive, not proactive), let alone deserving of coverage as an independent encyclopaedic topic!
