*'''Keep''', at least for now. I'm not aware of previous instances involving notable journalists and rival social media sites being banned in such a manner.

*:Disagree on ]. Page contains sufficient reliable sources, involves people notable enough to have Misplaced Pages articles, and does not involve "celebrity gossip". ] (]) 21:02, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

* '''Merge or Redirect''' This event was overall very quickly resolved and is of questionable significance. This further leads to at best questionable relevance as a stand-alone article. Agree this could be better placed in condensed form in a section on an already extant article that already discusses Musk's taking over of Twitter. ] (]) 20:57, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

* Either '''Keep''' or '''Merge''' into an overall article about Musk's handling of twitter since his takeover. May or may not be notable enough for a whole article, but definitly requires extended coverage in some form somewhere. However, may develop more to the extent that it warrants its own article. ] (]) 21:01, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
*'''Merge''' into ]. I think this is an excellent example of ] and ]. This needs long term support in reliable sources before it is notable enough for inclusion. ] (]) 21:04, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
*'''Delete''', they had their bans removed within two days anyways. There has been other mass suspensions which do not have their own Misplaced Pages articles such as those on January 8th and the two months following. ] (]) 21:07, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
