In the words of the person who wrote this essay, it is a "silly little opinion piece". Fails GNG - sources 1 and 4 are not independent, source 3 is a trivial mention, I cannot see the text of source 2. (Contested PROD in 2018.) Cerebellum (talk) 11:29, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Definitely weasel words and not encylopaedic in nature. Reference 2 is simply index notes. It is a silly opinion piece and fails GNG. --Whiteguru (talk) 21:54, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
