Why isn't X on the list yet? Have you all been living under a rock? LittleFriendUwU (talk) 09:46, 13 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Can you find a good source link to put it in there? Wikipedia runs on citations. 165.23.203.13 (talk) 14:34, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I did the work and found some citations, so I've added it. 165.23.203.13 (talk) 16:28, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It doesn't work that way. It is not enough to find some citations from journalists. Just because one or two journalists wrote articles and made statements doesn't mean that we now have an **established fact** that we can present as such in a WP article.
 * No matter the topic or the opinion, you will always find a citation for it and **also a citation for the opposite**. What a WP article needs in order to present something as fact is a general concensus among society and/or science. ʘχ (talk) 09:15, 27 April 2024 (UTC) corrected spelling ʘχ (talk) 09:16, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Is that not kind of how it works? The verifiability policy is just that contentious material needs to be cited to a reliable source, and news articles can be that. If we needed enough sources to establish a definite global consensus for everything, I can't imagine we'd ever get much done. Though in this case we'd probably want more than just a couple articles from the same outlet: surprising or "exceptional" claims do demand a higher bar for sourcing. twotwos  ( talk ) 12:24, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It is how it works. I have added an additional source anyway. The International Institute for Counter-Terrorism appears to be reliable and has obvious topic expertise. Grayfell (talk) 20:02, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * If you want to dispute a fact reported in a RS, you at minimum need sourcing in a source as reliable stating the opposite. Simply stating Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. and deleting won't fly. MrOllie (talk) 20:09, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I find the inclusion of X on this list problematic. It is a case of "one of these is not like the others" and to assert otherwise, I find irresponsible. Bgregz (talk) 02:19, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
