It is certainly fairly worthless from an encyclopedic perspective. I mean, honestly, who is ever going to read through al this, and to learn what? Almost no effort has been made to condense or usefully summarize the information into something readily informative. If keep, a full rewrite, based only on subsequent serious analysis on the subject, and not news, is probably in order. However, given the length and undue nature of the article as it stands, I would personally be inclined to lean delete, or essentially WP:TNT, given the unrealistic prospect of a rewrite volunteer emerging.

• Comment - Do we even have one reliable source that discusses this topic, in the form of "international reactions to this"? - GizzyCatBella🍁 02:54, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Issues raised so far are not good reasons for outright deletion, if there is too much cruft then a merger of the important info can be made to the films article.★Trekker (talk) 12:31, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the second point above. We should be discussing if this is a notable topic and it seems like it is. Then normally such articles should be merged into the article about the film, but there is so much content that is the exact and only reason to have an article like this. I see no reason to delete.

• Keep the article is long and rambling but the topic is notable. Mccapra (talk) 14:25, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Valid information which wouldn't fit in the main article, so this is a valid spin-out. Ample news coverage around the world about the reaction this film caused. Dream Focus 22:46, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• merge back to Innocence of Muslims which is a pretty short article as it stands. It makes no sense for this section of the main article to be completely separate. Mangoe (talk) 19:54, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Like others have said, there is quite a lot to justify the standalone article. SWinxy (talk) 01:39, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Both the base article and this one are quite lengthy. I don't see any merge helpful. ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 21:43, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
