Hello,

As you may have noticed, this article has been nominated for deletion. While I am not certain why this is (it is technically news), the nomination stands. If you have an opinion, please discuss it on the talk page.

It would also be nice if this article could be extended.

Thanks

@world record egg → ? – I feel as though this page's current title doesn't accurately reflect what the subject of this article is. I don't think this article should be about the Instagram account itself. The old title without the "@" also doesn't quite fit.  Nixinova   T   C  21:14, 15 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Move to Instagram egg. The WP:COMMONNAME seems to be both "Instagram egg" and "Instagram egg post". Since I would prefer "Instagram egg photograph" to "Instagram egg post" because post is not a very good word, my first choice is "Instagram egg" to satisfy all WP:CRITERIA, and it's as concise as it gets. w umbolo   ^^^  21:36, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Move to Instagram egg post per my comment at the AfD. — CoolSkittle  (talk) 21:56, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Move to Instagram egg. "@" is just syntax and "world record egg" isn't a name it's generally known by.  -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 22:59, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Move to Instagram egg Most people know this as the "Instagram Egg". This would allow most people to find the article. AceTankCommander (talk) 02:25, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Move to Instagram egg, as per above. Heolkpop (talk) 10:30, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Move to Instagram egg. It is a better and more descriptive article name than the present one.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 12:16, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Move to Instagram egg. I think this would be much easier for people to find due to being more common. "Instagram egg post" would be okay with me as well. Note that I went ahead and made Instagram egg a redirect to this page, because of WP:CHEAP and the fact that it shouldn't prevent this from being moved to that title by a non-page-mover as long as no other edits are made to the redirect (but even if there were, WP:RM/TR exists for a reason); hopefully everyone's okay with this.-- SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 03:30, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose move to Instagram egg. I don't know a single person who calls it Instagram egg. The name world record egg is used far more often. rayukk &#124; talk 12:01, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * "World record instagram egg" or just "World record egg"? Latter exists already as a redirect. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 12:10, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Can we add Egggang.com I am the owner of Egggang.com and i've been creating egggang for over four years now I have proof and everything.

At least add my domain in there though, I have tattoos dedicated to this shit.

citation needed
I can't find a source for the 50.3 million hits. "As of 22 January 2019, the post has accumulated 50.5 million likes, more than double the previous record of 18.4 million. It continues to post frequent updates in the form of Instagram Stories.[citation needed]" Since I didn't put that information in, can somebody tell us where it came from? This citation needed template is getting in the way of the DYK. Thanks. <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 02:55, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Suspected COI
User theweekndeditor is continuing to remove/modify cited information about Ishan Goel, claiming that I am engaging in vandalism and self-promotion. The first article that exists on the internet about world_record_egg names Goel as the viral marketer responsible for its growth. That is not "outdated." That is very pertinent, and it bolsters the fact that Goel was involved in a capacity that is meaningful. I have no relationship with Goel, but I am concerned based on the edit history of theweekndeditor related to Goel that theweekndeditor may have a conflict of internet such as a personal grudge against Goel that is driving them to continually skew the article into reading negatively about Goel. Otherwise, why wouldn't they simply remove the Goel information altogether? It seems they want to shed negative light on Goel, despite the overwhelming preponderance of articles that point to Goel being instrumental in the egg's success. An admin should look into this at this point to decide the best way forward. Snowcrunch (talk) 22:07, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello. I apologize if I have mischaracterized, made an error or offended you in anyway. I have reviewed the edits you have mentioned above and I, in good faith believe my edits to the article were correct. My evidence that you are taking part in self promotion and article vandalism is your previous edit history.

On January 29,2019 you added Ishan Goel as a "Notable alumni" of Coppell_High_School. This was promptly removed by another wikipedia editor for not being a notable individual. You claimed above that "I have no relationship with Goel, but I am concerned based on the edit history of theweekndeditor related to Goel". You claim you have no relationship with Goel, yet you know what high school Goel went to even though this individual is not a notable person.

Additionally, of the 24 edits you have made since you started Wikipedia on November 2018, 17 have been directly related to adding the name Ishan Goel or reverting edits that removed Ishan Goel. Based on this information I believe you are in a Conflict of Interest and are self promoting on this article.

My reasoning as to why I edited the page is below. There are three articles listing Goel as the creator of the Egg Account; All from January 2019. One article from News18 India, one from TooFabb an entertainment website and one from The Guardian Nigeria. None of these articles provide evidence that Goel had any connection to the Egg Account and are based on pure speculation. These are the articles you have been citing.

These articles have been proven false based on new information released by the New York Times article dated February 3, 2019 stating Chris Godfrey and Alissa Khan-Whelan as the sole creators of the egg account. Additionally, the Atlantic article dated January 31, 2019 directly confirms with the Egg Account creator that it has no connection to Supreme Patty and Ishan Goel.

Because the Instagram Egg account creator had chosen to remain anonymous in January, this opened the door to several individuals falsely claiming that they were the creator of the account. The most famous being, Instagram Star Supreme Patty who claimed to TMZ that he was the creator of the account. Because this false claim became prominent, I believed it deserved to be a part of the Wikipedia article.

Lastly, If you would have wanted to remove information about Goel completely from the article you easily could have. However, instead of just removing it, you replaced it with old outdated information that is no longer true.

In conclusion, I believe your edits to this article listing Goel as a creator of the account is vandalism and self promotion because the information has been proven false, and based on the evidence above I believe you are in conflict of interest of this article. However, I do agree a portion of the direct quote from the Atlantic article should be removed. Specifically the portion "and the egg has since blocked him on Instagram.[20]" Again, I apologize if I have mischaracterized, made an error or offended you in anyway.Theweekndeditor (talk) 03:41, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Would the actual Instagram photo be fair use?

I feel like the current photo doesn't really do it justice.

The closure of the AFD on this article's page is wrong
The talk page was correct about "No consensus" It was 19 Keeps and 13 deletes. I have called this to the attention of User:Primefac. here <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 17:43, 17 February 2019 (UTC)


 * The Instagram egg AfD was closed as NC. The List of most-liked online posts AfD, which was what referred to in his edit summary, was closed as delete.

I think the egg page should definitely be kept. It is an informative article, just like any other article. I know there’s some problem with commons, but if people want to know about the egg, let them.
