Twitch.tv

[edit]

Over the last two or three years, I've had to revert dozens of anon editors trying to add something about an "emote" called kappa used on some online platform called Twitch.tv. None of these anon contributors has ever made any attempt to actually explain what that thing is, let alone provide sources for it. But whatever it may be, it doesn't belong here. This is the article about the Greek letter "κ", nothing else. It is not an article about other unrelated things that also happen to be also called "kappa". That would be an issue of WP:disambiguation, if anything (i.e. if that Twitch usage was independently notable enough to be mentioned in some other relevant article of its own, which apparently it isn't, since there are no independent sources discussing it.) As far as I can tell, the Twitch thing has no relation to the Greek letter whatsoever; the emote is never signified by the actual letter "κ" but merely by the Latin-letter string "kappa"; as such, it simply doesn't belong in this article in any form. Everybody pease stop adding it. Fut.Perf. 09:49, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's in Kappa (disambiguation) now, and let's leave it there. --Damian Yerrick (talk)
