This article does not meet the standards of relevancy and it seems that it only has two sources that are not covering the recent wave of the popularity of mewing as a meme. There is also only one source has any type of reputability. The article is clearly not on a notable subject. Polargrizbear (talk) 03:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per recent coverage (or, if all else fails, merge into List of Generation Z slang or John Mew:
I think the article sits in a weird spot between fringe medical theory-thing & popular culture. Orthodontic medical sources would be appreciated and likely necessary for the article, though I'm not sure where to find those. Schrödinger's jellyfish  03:40, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Forgive my quick Google and Google Scholar search (I can't access the Wikipedia Library on my phone):
Just speculation - I wouldn't be shocked in the next few years some more scholarly research comes out about the negative effects of mewing. I stand by my earlier statement that mewing sits at a strange crossroads of fringe medical topic and fad. I hope more scholarly research comes out, since this article is probably prone to fringe POV hijacking. Phönedinger's jellyfish II (talk) 17:55, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I give up on correcting that. If some more scholarly research comes out. Phönedinger's jellyfish II (talk) 17:58, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mewing is not “generation Z slang”, though. It’s a facial technique, and it should be treated as so. I feel there is too much information about it to be placed in a sub-article. GP22248 (talk) 13:25, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
