Contested deletion

This is not an implausible redirect, the entire social media section of the article exists solely because a user with that name made an incredibly viral tweet promoting the book. The ridiculousness of the name is not merely incidental but clearly plays a significant part in the coverage surrounding the new found attention to the book, multiple articles specifically talk about the username and include it in the article headline. Its essentially become its own story beyond just the book. This obviously doesn't warrant an article per WP:BLP1E but a redirect seems entirely reasonable.
