Draft:Haymaker Valley

Submission declined on 29 September 2026 by Sksatsuma (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the subject, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Haymaker Valley is a fictional meme universe featuring AI-generated videos of animals standing on their legs and throwing "haymakers", often edited in intense or unsettling ways. It was inspired by Huss Valley and Folk Valley. The trend was popularized by TikToker @misomillion on August 6, 2026, with an AI-generated video of a dog shadowboxing under the "Haymaker Valley" tag. The video quickly gained thousands of views, and subsequent posts expanded the fictional universe with additional dog fighters, enemies, and storylines, including evil cats attacking the valley. By mid-August, derivative videos and character explainers were receiving over a million views, making it a mainstream Gen Alpha meme.
