Shweta (meme)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I am wondering if this meme should be deleted. The reason I think so is that it seems to fail the notability guidelines and has BLP1E issues, as I highly doubt that Shweta, and anonymous girl, is going to become a public figure from this event. It is also an embarassment for the subject, and therefore is subject to BLP concerns. It is similar to the Jessi Slaughter and Brian Peppers cases, which were deleted as well. According to the notability guideline in news, "Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance."

 * Delete: People are making fun of her over a leaked audio where she forgot to mute herself on video call while having a conversation with her colleagues. I believe everything should be on this platform but someone's embarrassment should not be shared using this platform. This article fails the notability guidelines as well.

 * Comment I worked on this article as to actually clarify the readers regarding the subject as I also take blame from myself for not adhering to the BLP policy. I understand that the subject in consideration has been embarrassed in this regard and I agree to delete this article. I created this article since it became one of the internet memes within a short period of time. I also agree that the article only meets WP:1E and WP:BLP1E.

 * Speedy delete This is potentially libel WP:LIBEL. Wikipedia has no place for such things. Take this elsewhere. RationalPuff (talk) 00:06, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SUSTAINED. This sort of meme will be entirely forgotten in a week. gobonobo  + c 12:05, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Likely to be a transient phenomenon. If there is sustained notability, it might merit a page, but for now, this is nonsense.  See WP:SUSTAINED. Ira Leviton (talk) 22:53, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
