Question do I close this or keep this open? 2606:9400:98A0:92A0:3C70:C45F:E4E1:123D (talk) 01:41, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: what. WP:NEWS is an essay talking about the various projects by Wikimedia dedicated to news, why are you citing it like it's a policy? Also, this isn't a rationale. TheGoofWasHere (talk) 00:44, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete All coverage is from August 2021 (or is from Twitter or not about the challenge at all). No WP:LASTING effects, just another one-news-cycle mass hysteria that got someone their 15 minutes. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 10:58, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: clicking on the Gscholar link above gives several peer-reviewed articles discussing this either in terms of injuries or studying social media fads, 2022, 2024, 2025... Showing some critical notice of this thing. Article needs updating but we have scholarly notice of this. Oaktree b (talk) 16:34, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There are scholarly reports of the subject preceding 2021. Such as a PDF called "Impulse or Self-Expression? How Social Media Challenges Influence the Decision-Making Process of Young Users" TheGoofWasHere (talk) 03:00, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Oaktree b. Article absolutely needs to be updated, but recent peer-reviewed articles discussing it seems to point towards it meeting WP:LASTING. JeffSpaceman (talk) 16:49, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Source on the article is sufficient enough for a keep, meets GNG Allblessed (talk) 01:23, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
