Merge to a relevant section in the Twitter article. For the love of Pete, don't google that phrase. Oaktree b (talk) 15:47, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Following bullet point 4 of WP:EVENTCRIT, this is clearly shock news. A Google search shows sources centered around the WP:1E of that video going viral (and immediate Twitter policy change as part of that WP:1E). 2001:48F8:3004:FC4:D480:5FD5:9310:3BA4 (talk) 17:55, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - simply as per WP:NOTNEWS.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 19:50, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into the Cruelty to animals article. 2001:569:BE8C:4400:CC06:CF17:6B8D:C01F (talk) 08:15, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is clearly only notable as a part of Twitter's moderation issues, and has no separate notability. None of the text is worth merging. Hemiauchenia (talk) 18:49, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- You sir are such a heartless person who doesn’t care about serious things like this. This article deserves it’s own spot 2001:569:BE8C:4400:1D4:D820:6996:A9C9 (talk) 08:04, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No it does not, it's obviously a horrific video, but we don't have individual articles dedicated to the 2006 video where a kitten was crushed to death with high heels, which is covered at Crush_fetish#China, or to every ISIS execution video either. That doesn't mean that Wikipedia is heartless. There are no reliable sources that cover this video separate from Twitter's moderation issues, it's all sensational.

We cover the Holocaust and 9/11 in extensive details, that's about as caring as this site can be to be honest. Oaktree b (talk) 20:30, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
