It\u2019s a disaster. Maybe we can have a Twitter Files article, but not this one.\u201d\u201c<strong>Delete:<\/strong> This was generally ignored by the media (with good reason) and thus failed to establish notability.\u201d\u201c<strong>Delete:<\/strong> I would suggest a merge, but there\u2019s not really anything here. Even as a stub it suffers from being unsourced in some places and poorly sourced in others, suggesting a lack of notability. It also doesn\u2019t have a clearly defined topic. Is this about an investigation, or is this about a Substack article? While the title suggests the former and the lede suggests the latter, the content of the article is actually about neither. There is no investigation, and the article lacks any notable information about what the self-published article had to offer. The original revision was much larger than the current one because once you trim out the poorly written editorialized sensationalism there\u2019s not really anything left.\u201d\u201c<strong>Delete:<\/strong> This is a three-sentence description of a self-published internet page. Not Notable.\u201d\u201c<strong>Delete:<\/strong> \u2014 under the scope of the laptop article.\u201d\u201c<strong>Delete:<\/strong> \u2013 this self-published blogpost (with a grandiose title) lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. If relevant, discourse relating to the blogpost could be covered under the laptop page.
