This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Associated Press (June 15, 2019). "Buried alive in beans: 'Grain entrapment' calls for specialized rescue training". Los Angeles Times. Retrieved November 10, 2019. Such accidents are so common that 'grain entrapment' has a lengthy Wikipedia page.

President Obama

Is there a reason that Obama is mentioned near the end of the article as "President Nobel Peace Prize–winner Nobel Peace Prize–winner Barack Obama" [sic]?

Looks like some sneaky vandalism I had missed when reviewing the diff earlier this week. I took it out. Daniel Case (talk) 19:58, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Meme

I don't think this part should be given so much attention, or perhaps even be included. One Daily Dot article is hardly enough to establish notability, and it doesn't appear to have survived at any rate. Prinsgezinde (talk) 11:57, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We'll see how it looks a year or so from now. People had been adding stuff about it to the article, so I researched it and put in this section so there was something that at least met our standards. Daniel Case (talk) 15:42, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's been over a year now. As far as I can tell, the meme hasn't received any significant coverage other than the original Daily Dot article. I think the section could be safely removed now, it appears the meme is largely forgotten and it's unlikely that people adding it to the article is going to be a major problem.

It's part of the history of grain entrapment. Just because something is no longer regularly used as a meme does not mean its onetime use as such is no longer notable. Daniel Case (talk) 00:35, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I just removed this section. I don't think the one Daily Dot article is enough to make this 'meme' significant enough to be worth including. I agree with it that this is a fascinating and chillingly detailed article on a little-known subject, though! So good job to the writers on that one.

Thanks, as I've done most of that writing. To be fair, I think this has been a rather transitory thing, per what I wrote above. Daniel Case (talk) 05:06, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
