Article does not meet WP:EVENTCRITERIA, being a false internet rumour/viral phenomena. Received a couple of mentions in news sources but nothing concrete other than characterisation as a false rumour. JackWilfred ( talk) 13:34, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

- Move to draft. This is far too undeveloped to be a mainspace article, and it is not clear that it ever can be, but there is enough reasonably high-level real world reporting on the rumor to sustain a draftspace effort. BD2412 T 16:01, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Wikipedia is not Gossip Girl, and there will be a better title and body for this when we get actual sources. Nate • ( chatter) 17:12, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete as wikipedia is absolutely not an outlet for news and this is just reporting on rumour which didn't even materialise. Reject the idea of draftification as no indication this will become a historic notable topic. Can revisit if the situation changes but none of us can accurately predict if something may happen.

- Delete Misinformation about major politicians happens all the time. In the US, we're still dealing with lies about the January 6 attack, like this claim by Arizona state representative Mark Finchem. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 19:17, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete fails all elements of WP:EVENTCRIT. Concur, should not be draftified. Regards, -- Goldsztajn ( talk) 20:57, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Much of this information can be condensed into a different article, if it even deserves to be there at all. Bungle put it best: Wikipedia isn't news.

- Delete - This pseudo-article has no properly formatted references, and so fails not only notability but verifiability. There isn't enough potential information to warrant moving to draft space. Also, the title is misleading; if this were verifiable, it would be about 2022 China coup rumors or 2022 China coup attempt. Robert McClenon ( talk) 02:26, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Article does not meet WP:EVENTCRITERIA and violates WP:NOTNEWS. -- SunilNevlaFan ✨ 17:29, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
