During New Page Reviews over the past several months, @
TechnoSquirrel69 and I raised (unaddressed) concerns about
WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH in how this article was set up. In some senses, it reads more like an
WP:ESSAY in highlighting a particular demographic; a more encyclopedic treatment would be something like "Opinion polling of the Israel-Hamas war". The second section, on social media trends, is also heavy with
WP:OR as almost none of the sources specifically mention Generation Z. (The article's assumption seems to be that TikTok users are GenZ, but building that assumption into the article without sources is original research.) To salvage the encyclopedic content, I propose to merge content from the first section into
International reactions to the Israel–Hamas war#Opinion polling and
Political views of Generation Z#Israel–Hamas_war.

Merge per nom. There seems to loads of
WP:OR in the article and reads like a high school essay. TikTok is stereotyped with Gen Z, but is not exclusive with the opinion pieces as noted in the article. If anything, it would be
TikTok and the Israel–Hamas war, though I doubt that would be any more notable than this. (Ping if sources found).

I'll refrain from leaving a bolded !vote in this discussion as pinging me in the nomination may have been slightly out of process. However, I'll note that the concerns I shared on the talk page a couple months ago and that have been echoed by the nominator have not been addressed. —

Sorry, not trying to go out of process, just crediting your observations during the review process!

Merge per the arguments made above; differentiating the content to be merged from the (probably overwhelming) amount of content to be deleted will take time, but it’s probably better than just deleting it all.

Delete per NOTNEWS. While I commend the nominator for suggesting an ATD, in this case, the amount of coverage elsewhere is sufficient for the surveys and already excessive for
Political views of Generation Z.
