This doesn't seem notable enough to be its own topic, given the shortage of sources actually covering the subject. Since their ideologies are practically the same (the article itself describes this theory as "QAnon-adjacent", I think this article should be merged to the main QAnon article, with the appropriate content to go with it.

Agree due to above reasons, just I'd prefer to see this in Attempts to overturn the 2020 Election, but I'm indifferent on which article.InvadingInvader (talk) 21:33, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment as creator: I am inclined to agree to a merge but keeping the current page as a redirect (Italygate and Italy gate both link there as redirects). I don't think the QAnon article is the best to merge it into (not all of the references mention it); I'd also prefer to merge into Attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election. – Bangalamania (talk) 21:50, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as I don't see a good merge target - QAnon is only adjacent and already quite large. Elli (talk | contribs) 05:21, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per GNG demonstrated by Goldsztajn. The theory's claims are much less important than the story of its origin and promotion. A good article will give context to future developments.HouseOfChange (talk) 17:35, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
