Nothing on google scholar. No secondary sources. Violates WP:NOT specifically, WP:DIC/WP:NOT Curb Chain (talk) 01:35, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The article has no contents (e.g. a list of things that have caused the apparition of hundreds of reaction videos, like those from 2 girls 1 cup). Seems that the fenomenon is too recent or unimportant, so few or no RS will be found.-- Fauban  14:13, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment: This is a tricky topic to research. A preliminary search engine test does not show anything reliable except some mentions of reactions to 2 girls 1 cup. Worth quoting WP:NEO here: "Neologisms that are in wide use but for which there are no treatments in secondary sources are not yet ready for use and coverage in Wikipedia. The term does not need to be in Wikipedia in order to be a 'true' term, and when secondary sources become available, it will be appropriate to create an article on the topic, or use the term within other articles." I would like to see if others can find any worthwhile coverage before taking a stance. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 15:19, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: While earlier versions contained examples, the current article consists only of the sentence "A reaction video is a genre of short amateur video that captures the reaction of an individual or group of individuals." In book searches, it would seem the term does see usage, as well as usage in news articles, but none of these sources attempt to define a "reaction video". Like Erik, I would welcome someone being able to expand that one sentence into a properly sourced and encyclopedic article.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 17:13, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
