Delete - pointless article, straying well into WP:OR Dexxtrall (talk) 12:00, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Pure OR, cannot be improved regardless of references. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 12:17, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per other commenters. I suppose it's remotely possible a reasonable article could be created here, but only remotely. Burn it down, and if anyone REALLY thinks they can make this topic notable, let them go through AfC. PianoDan (talk) 18:45, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per others, pure WP:OR Rexh17 (talk) 23:27, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per others. I found a series of Wired articles discussing this + I imagine that there's been some academic work on this topic, but it's nothing that can't be covered in the main article. ThadeusOfNazereth^{Talk to Me!} 15:54, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per no original research. Mann Mann (talk) 16:03, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as OR. HighKing⁺⁺ 21:37, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Though a merge with Twitter or Twitter usage would also be fine. It's baffling and a bit demoralizing that some of the comments here are so unnecessarily hostile, such as PianoDan's "burn it down" remark and Royal Autumn Crest's "cannot be improved" remark. What gives? Those comments and others here regarding original research are baseless and unsubstantiated. Currently this article is approximately a meta-article, which Wikipedia has thousands of examples of: Index of Turkey-related articles, List of lists of lists, etc. Wikipedia also has established articles on Twitter subcultures such as Black Twitter, so within this context, having an article about the culture of Twitter (as opposed to a specific subculture) is perfectly fine and likely expected by readers. Finally, this article also provides a nice target for redirects such as Meltdown May and Twitter thread, though as I said, with some edits to target articles, these redirects could easily point elsewhere. --MZMcBride (talk) 01:42, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'm fine with merging anything worthwhile in that article into Twitter, but original research by its nature isn't appropriate on Wikipedia and no amount of modification can change that unless that the original research can be removed, and I don't think that was the case here.
