Guaido challenge

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a hashtag claiming to be a "viral internet challenge" for a current geopolitical event. It is a WP:NOT violation. The article is not describing promotion, it is engaging in it. It is unclear if there is a topic here, or why a separate article would be needed. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 21:08, 28 January 2019 (UTC)


 * No opinion from the creator, but some history. The article was tagged (not by Power~enwiki) literally minutes after the first edit, so I haven't put the work I would usually exert into developing the article to an acceptable standard. I will put this one down to the "why experienced editors lose motivation to participate" department, and let the community decide what to do with this kerfuffle.

 * Merge to 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis My thought is that this is a facet of a larger crisis, and should probably be added to the existing article about the Venezuela crisis. Bkissin (talk) 21:39, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis per Bkissin's rationale. Essentially a part of the larger crisis. Maybe deserves its own section but not a full article. HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 05:16, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge/remove per discussions at Talk:2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis. --MaoGo (talk) 15:04, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Reminder of the ten-year test. I don't see this particular social media campaign passing that test independent of the current crisis. This is an WP:OSE cop-out, but the #BringBackOurGirls campaign redirects to the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapping, as the campaign was not seen as independent from the situation at hand. Bkissin (talk) 15:35, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Ten years from now, it will show up in resiliency studies about how a traumatized population used humor to deal with anxiety and extreme uncertainty. But I really don't care if Wikipedia misses that boat or not. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  17:35, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge per HapHaxion and Bkissin. Too much risk of a POV content fork in fraught political conflicts to maintain. Simonm223 (talk) 13:43, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
