Easily one of the strangest articles I've come across. While certainly a useful topic for a different website, this article flies in the face of WP:NOTESSAY. Skimming through an exhaustive and rambling list of advice in WP:WIKIVOICE is astounding. KidAd • SPEAK 01:09, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (selectively) to Internet manipulation#Countermeasures. I agree that this article fails WP:NOTESSAY but some of this content has good sources and doesn't appear elsewhere on Wikipedia. The section doesn't need to include as much detail as this article, but I think some of the prose in Detecting fake news online#Features in fake news detection and Detecting fake news online#Methods of detection can be cleaned up and preserved.
