Wikipedia considering deletion of #TwitterFiles page because 'it's a nothing event about another nothing event'

We’ll play along here for a little bit. There’s a Wikipedia page called “Twitter Files Investigation” that talks about the release of internal Twitter documents that showed “the Biden team” using its connections to have materials related to the Hunter Biden laptop story taken down. To be fair, some Wikipedia editors are suggesting that the page, which is very brief, be merged with the page devoted to Biden’s laptop. We’d have no problem with that. But it’s the excuses editors are using to justify removing that page that are worth looking at.

“This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia’s deletion policy,” it reads in a notice at the top. Why delete it? “I don’t know where to start explaining why this should be deleted. It’s a disaster.” “Redirect to the Biden laptop article, it’s a nothing event about another nothing event.” “This self-published blogpost (with a grandiose title) lacks significant coverage in reliable sources.” Oh, so because the media didn’t pick up on it and run with it, there are no “reliable sources” to use as footnotes.

“This was generally ignored by the media (with good reason) and thus failed to establish notability.”

Again, we have no problem with it being merged with the laptop page, but look at these poor excuses for deleting it.

Wikipedia is voting on the deletion of the entry for Elon Musk’s Twitter Files because the editors have deemed it a “nothing burger” that is “not notable” because the media didn’t give it enough coverage. These people work hand in hand with the MSM to shape the narrative. pic.twitter.com/Acu6UaG0n5

Most of Earth: “The MSM is biased.”
Wikipedia: “Cite MSM source to confirm this claim.” 🤣🤣

Wikipedia has a non-trivial left-wing bias.@jimmy_wales, what are your thoughts?

You should buy Wikipedia

remember when @elonmusk said there's a silent majority that needs to speak up? that is still the problem. there's a self-censorship thing happening where voices on the right are afraid of the consequences… it's people who have the massive role in promoting truth.

Remain truthful and not hyperbolic. Express opinions not narratives. Ask questions and dont be afraid of the mob. Continue with unbiased fact checking and calling out the frauds.

We start the X Files fight here on Twitter, exposing all truths.

Agreed. None of this third party shopping.

It’s not a “bias,” it’s an agenda.

Run it

It’s on

Just release everything. We’ve already seen that Twitter came up with the bogus “hacked materials” excuse after the fact. There must be so much more to be discovered.
