Twitter Controversy

Anima was embroiled in a Twitter controversy in wake of the resignation of Timnit Gebru from Google. In a heated discussion with the Twitter community Anima posted a list of Twitter users

Anima later left Twitter. She later posted this blog explaining her departure from Twitter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.241.144.191 (talk) 23:25, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If it is an important controversy, independent reliable sources will take note of it. Twitter feuds are not inherently notable or WP:DUE. Schazjmd (talk) 23:32, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is an important topic because it led her to delete her account and issue an apology on her blog. If there are mentions of her receiving threats online, there should also be mention of her issuing threats online. This is also important in liue of teh students targetted because wiki acts as s source that people can go to refer back to apology

Just because she blogs something does not make it WP:DUE. If there are no independent sources covering this, it's original research. Hellpresearch, the content you added included information not supported by the sources you cite, and your sources are merely two blog posts by Anandkumar. This does not belong in the article. Please do not add it again until you obtain consensus here (which I don't expect you'll get until you have better sources). Schazjmd (talk) 15:35, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The content you added was not fully supported by her two blog posts. Nor are her blog posts WP:DUE for inclusion without any independent coverage in reliable sources that make this a noteworthy incident that should be included in the encyclopedia article.

Copying from the wikipedia policies : ""Never use self-published sources—including but not limited to books, zines, websites, blogs, and tweets—as sources of material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject of the article." To me it seems clear that this can be quoted Hellpresearch (talk) 21:22, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
