List that is not notable as a set. Appears to be a random collection of hashtags put together by the page creator. Fails WP:LISTN. Citrivescence (talk) 02:36, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While it is indeed a "collection of hashtags put together by the page creator" (me) I'd disagree that it's entirely random, as every instance mentioned on the page is genuinely an annual event in which people revitalise the hashtag or topic (not all have a tag). The examples have 'escaped' from Twitter's confines and have been written about in fairly sensible, citable articles and some have taken on other effects in the "real world", eg raising money. Granted it's not the most important reflection of sociological phenomena but I do think it's more than just internet whimsy (I didn't include "Balustrade Lanyard" among them https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/going-viral-brl33whb6dt and https://www.buzzfeed.com/jamieross/he-was-the-peoples-balustrade-lanyard) and reflects one way in which a popular social media tool is used to share thoughts and information among people who may not otherwise know each other.

@JoBrodie: Notability for lists requires notability as a set. That is, your references must also name and discuss these hashtags together, which is not the case. Citrivescence (talk) 15:30, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Citrivescence: If that's the case there's no need for further discussion, the page should be deleted immediately JoBrodie (talk) 22:25, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@JoBrodie: Since it is the case, can you please change your !vote to delete? Citrivescence (talk) 04:56, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Citrivescence: Well, no, because obviously I don't want it to be deleted. It just seems that if this was a requirement of the list, and the list already couldn't satisfy it, then I'm not sure why it was opened for discussion in the first place. JoBrodie (talk) 09:54, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
