Twitter message notability

Greetings, all. The widely reported event of the Casillas tweet that caused strong reactions worldwide seems to some editors to be "trivial", i.e. non-notable, as the article's history shows. The relevant information gets continuously removed. A discussion would hopefully help clarify and resolve the issue. I suggest this is a small but important information item, and it's certainly notable per the myriad of sources. -The Gnome (talk) 06:59, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
