Proposed merge into Twitterature

Given the fact that there are no sufficient reliable sources to sustain a proper article, and what few sources do exist are just barely enough for a stub, I suggest merging this into its own section on Twitterature, which covers this exact type of faddish material.

Oppose (as article creator) - I am not an expert on the topic, but they seem to be separate subcultures. This is demonstrable by checking sources. Not one of the sources in this article mentions the term "twitterature" at all, and none of the English-language sources in other article (I haven't checked the others) use the term "weird Twitter" at all. The major reason why I kept this article short is frankly because I prefer concision; the topic is clearly notable and the article could easily be expanded. While this article's pageviews were generally lower until a rash of vandalism a few days back, the difference is not colossal. Blythwood (talk) 20:11, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
