and it has decent citations

Not a case anymore, unfortunately. There are leftist meme articles that only cite tweets and buzzfeed reposting said tweets, but if try to do anything about it, your edits will be instantly reverted and your account gets banned.

Without examples it’s hard to say anything at all beyond guesses really.

But if the article is about a xitter meme, tweets are the original source, and therefore perfectly relevant citations.

  The most obvious example I know of is this one. Not a thing, never was a thing, and the entire page is just folk from 196 and blahaj dunking on wikipedia. And check out the talk page where they try to pretend that the skeleton image is the best representation of said “phenomenon”, while simultaneously removing any message doubting it’s existence.

    I dunno, it doesn’t seem to overstate its case
    
    While not all films, television shows, photographs, and music videos that use this lighting intend to portray bisexuality, many queer artists have deliberately used this color palette
    
    It also uses sources such as Vice and the BBC

    There were definitely none that did before the wiki article was created.

    The article from BBC is fluff written by a rando and is based completely off twitter circlejerk. VICE is not a reliable source as anyone can register as an author and make articles there.
