This article is heavy on non-RS commentary and risks becoming a WP:SYNTH essay. We shouldn't be featuring tweets as cites, for example. That someone wrote something on the Internet doesn't mean including it is WP:DUE.
What would this article look like if it were cut down to claims directly cited to third-party solid RSes? - David Gerard ( talk) 21:45, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
I did a test version (and self-reverted), which you can see in the page history.
The RS list is very short. The only plausible RSes I could find in Google News for this topic were Vox, Daily Dot and Mediaite - and the latter two are very gossipy IMO, Vox is by far the most substantial RS here.
I didn't add it, but this NRO column might be usable as a relevant conservative RSOPINION. The Salon piece would be prima facie RSOPINION - but it doesn't really add new facts, so I left it out.
I cut down the story of the Bud Light boycott as we already have a linked article on it, and we shouldn't use refs in an article that aren't about the topic.
Newsweek post-2013 is a trashy source and listed as GUNREL. Black Tea News is just a pile of unencyclopedic gossip, so I cut all that.
Mediaite is very gossipy as a source but probably usable?
In any case, tell me what you think of the posited cut-down version. Could add NRO and Salon in a commentary or reception section as RSOPINION - David Gerard ( talk) 12:54, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
