- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Internet-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 10:08, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. If this topic still has coverage in news or scholarly media a year from now (ha!) we can re-create the article. We don't need to index every passing fad (note how every single source is from the past week). WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 11:00, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- After the dust settles down, this will be remembered similar to the blackout, tide pod, and devious lick challenges and be mentioned time-to-time when talking about challenges. Would say leave it for now, then after the dust settles then we see. 2603:8001:8400:DC34:76E5:4D55:D814:774F (talk) 02:32, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Lanch, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to give a reason in your nomination. Ameright?
- Also, comitting arson for Tiktok views would still probably be a talking point (but more minor) in 7 months. Thegoofhere (talk) 11:40, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: No evidence this flash in the pan social media fad passes WP:NEVENT; we would need to see WP:SUSTAINED coverage. And WP:NOTNEWS, while not effusive, is a valid deletion rationale since WP:NOT is the second part of the two-part WP:GNG test. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:25, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

- istg there are undocumented terrorists out there and your worried about some stupid article of a true challenge 166.109.26.101 (talk) 14:06, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- And the sky is blue. That has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. Oaktree b (talk) 14:20, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Whataboutism 165.140.214.242 (talk) 14:41, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Still nothing to do with the discussion, there is no point keeping this article on a very likely short-lived fad. Oaktree b (talk) 15:30, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

- Delete: I guess we could draft this, but who knows where it will be in six months. This will likely be forgotten... TOOSOON, the articles are less than two weeks old at this point. Oaktree b (talk) 14:21, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:TOOSOON as this is most likely to die down within months. This can be merged into Chromebook article. Patre23 (talk) 14:28, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Merge with either List of Internet Phenomena or Chromebook. SchoolChromebookUser (talk) 15:18, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- This is way too trivial to be mentioned at Chromebook anywhere other than its See also section, but I could get on board with redirecting this to List of Internet challenges (which is where List of Internet phenomena#Challenges takes you).--Launchballer 15:30, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Went through the List of Internet challenges article, it is mentioned in the crime section and was added back in the 8th of May. A merge could suffice since it is already mentioned. SchoolChromebookUser (talk) 11:48, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

- Delete: Run of the mill internet trend. It’s too early to tell whether this will have any lasting impact. Golem08 (talk) 17:04, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Not opposed to redirecting to the entry at List of Internet challenges. Golem08 (talk) 17:06, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep if there's still new coverage after a short period of time. If not. Turn it into a Draft.Thegoofhere (talk) 02:56, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep its going to at least get metioned time to time so as the other TikTok trends like devious lick, Tide Pods. and if this don't get coverage in a
couple months then it can be deleted and i doubt it will "die down" after getting covered by the biggest reliable source of wikipedia,The New York Times and based on the page views and Google Search Trend which shows over 100 searches and the related searches are "TikTok Challenge" and for the page views and its getting 28 views per a day because its getting AfD'ed, one of the biggest TikTok challenges blowing up right now and people are confused and don't know what it is because its getting AfD'ed. Momentoftrue (talk) 14:43, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Ditto. Also, its still getting coverage. Most memes die within like, 2 days. To even pass 1 week proves its a noteworthy subject, even if it's not as popular after a couple of days. Thegoofhere (talk) 01:38, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete I'm so sorry, but "trends" like these come and go so quickly; there's a 99% chance this is going to be forgotten by the next month. If it isn't, I stand corrected. However, it is far too soon for a page and shows no signs of continuing notability. If anything, it could be mentioned on Chromebook if this "challenge" lasts longer. jolielover♥talk 07:53, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
