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 with International reactions to the Israel–Hamas war#Opinion polling: per OP. I'd considered starting an AFD myself. It does appear to be very essay-like, and may have issues of WP:SYNTH. — Czello ^(music) 14:28, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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). Conyo14 (talk) 16:59, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 22:10, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, not trying to go out of process, just crediting your observations during the review process! Dclemens1971 (talk) 22:33, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Political views of Generation Z#Israel–Hamas_war and/or International reactions to the Israel–Hamas war#Opinion polling per the nom. I agree that the article is very essay-like and has a lot of WP:OR. Some1 (talk) 22:25, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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. FortunateSons (talk) 23:51, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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. gidonb (talk) 23:19, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
