In 2016, Twitch added a LUL emoji, sketched from a laughing Bain photo, which has since become one of the most popular emojis on that platform.
;which by all means is a generous summation of the nominated article. Nothing else really salvageable in the article. - Harsh (

Delete Simply non-notable and fails GNG. There is not even an article about the widely-known "Kappa" emote so an article about this lesser-used emote seems even more minor. However, I would not be opposed to
List of Twitch emotes as they have gotten not insignificant coverage as a whole.ZXCVBNM (

Keep and oppose merge, clearly exists as a standalone topic which has been the primary subject of numerous articles from reliable sources, such as

The example you brought up about forum comments being used in articles doesn’t make the source unsuitable for usage. If Kotaku believes quoting these sources meets their journalistic standards, then I’d be inclined to agree. It’s an internet phenomenon, most of the rhetoric about it will be online.
WP:RS discourages the use of forums to be used as a source directly in Wikipedia articles, but says nothing about forums being used as sources within the sources that Wikipedia uses. There is an additional degree of editorial discretion being applied here and that’s more than enough to use those sources in this article.—

Redirect to
LOL#Variants, where it is already mentioned. I see there are a few options for redirect. It's not mentioned on the Twitch article and a specific emote would probably be undue in that article. It's mentioned in the TotalBIscuit article, but for a redirect target let's go with the meaning of the concept. Not seeing sufficient coverage to justify a stand-alone article here. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 19:35, 25 July 2020 (UTC)reply
