Good, bad, biased, paid or what-have-you. There's an endless supply.

The nut/obvious Democrat(?) who is pushing this AFD:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Beccaynr

also started her Wiki-Career by fiddling with the Lee Weiner article and related Chicago 7 materials, then cheerfully posted to her userpage the following.....
I joined Wikipedia yesterday, and made some changes to Lee Weiner's page. I do have a close association with Lee Weiner - he is a member of my family.[1] I do not receive, and I do not expect to receive any compensation for these edits.[2] From my view, the page contained content that was unsourced and poorly sourced, and my edits are an attempt to add reliable and verifiable information to his biography, as it relates to his notability.[3][2] I also believe that this article would significantly benefit from additional contributions, and I am asking for help because my goal is to advance the aims of Wikipedia.[1][4][5]
You can google up someone named "Rebecca Weiner" or similar. I don't even care.

AFD failed, article kept. The "Fuck Joe Biden" article was baleeted and forwarded to "Let's Go Brandon".

It is bizarre that the Wikipedia article features a photo of the phrase being used, on a sign in front of a saloon in Jarbidge, Nevada. One of the most isolated and weird little towns in America. The photo was dug out of Flickr, as usual for Commons. I just can't imagine any Wikipedia noid going to Jarbidge for any reason. It means driving 100+ miles out of anyone's way, including more than 20 miles on questionable dirt roads.

It must be me;

We live in a world where we’re actually consuming more information, but processing less and less information. When you look at how the search and social engines work, it’s based on popularity — what are people likely to click on? And scandalous information — not the truth kind of information — seems to be the one that’s coming to the top. Karthik Krishnan, global CEO of Britannica

To me Lets Go Brandon or Fuck Joe Biden is just something popular - it won't have staying power or be of historic relevance. The Chant itself put forth much more energy than an 80 year old could produce, president or not. To me its not encyclopedic.

What I don't like about Wikipedia is that its information without organization, vetting, and critical thinking. Wikipedia is information by, for, and of the mob.
Wikipedia - "Barely competent and paranoid. There’s a hell of a combination."
