WP:NOTNEWS. WP:BEFORE shows sources only from 2018, which is the case of WP:LASTING. A single source from 2022 doesn't save this article. This challenge in short doesn't have impact at all + it is extremely short to warrant its own article. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 00:28, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This one is from 2022, just saying. TheGoofWasHere (talk) 23:38, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Trivia content or no impact at all from a single incident at that year. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 00:05, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The sources in the article are from (skipping the YouTube video): 2016, 2018, 2016, 2014, and 2014. They seem to be from reputable sources. I don't necessarily like that we have an article on this subject, but the idea that it had no lasting impact doesn't seem to hold water. Toadspike [Talk] 08:36, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I've read through the sources currently cited in the article, and I land at a weak keep. I'm sorry, Boneless, but getting several [1] years [2] of coverage for the same stuff is not a clear-cut case of "no lasting effects". Toadspike [Talk] 08:46, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would also be okay with a merge per Eddie below. I didn't realize we already cover this elsewhere. Toadspike [Talk] 15:31, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect or merge to List_of_Internet_challenges#Crime. I concede that there is some coverage over several years, but just don't see the coverage establishing that we need a standalone article here. Is there really so much to say that it can't be contained on the list? Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 08:49, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. The following reliable or marginally reliable sources have significant or near-significant coverage:

The Telegraph and Global News (December 2016) – same month, same subject, both reliable (WP:TELEGRAPH and Global News RfC), but I cannot access the Telegraph (it's paywalled). The significance of Ikea's warning is confirmed by its inclusion in later sources, as well as by the moderate depth of coverage in Global News.
Fox News and Syracuse.com (April 2018) – WP:FOXNEWS applies to the former, but Syracuse.com seems reliable; both sources cite the generally reliable but paywalled Wall Street Journal. Of all the sources, Fox News has the most significant coverage.
Patch Media Staff (December 2018) – reliability is marginal and disputed (see RSN discussions from 2010, 2011, and 2019). If it's reliable in this context, its coverage is significant.
The Independent (November 2019) – generally reliable per WP:INDYUK, and fairly significant coverage

I don't think coverage in The Guardian or In The Know is significant. Otherwise, if 100 words is taken as evidence of significant coverage, then most of the sources above qualify. I think three years of coverage counts as continued coverage. I think the subject is notable, albeit barely. The question for me is whether there is another valid merge reason. In this case, I don't see a benefit to merging. Though the article will never be very long, there is enough information in sources to write two or three paragraphs. Placing the information at List_of_Internet_challenges#Crime doesn't provide better context than a stand-alone article. So without a strong reason to merge, keep.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep: Coverage over the span of a few years. There are still mentions of it in the news, in non-RS though, but showing lasting effects. Oaktree b (talk) 16:44, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Oaktree b, meets WP:LASTING and has enough coverage in reliable sources over enough time to warrant an article here. JeffSpaceman (talk) 01:27, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
