The '''Wikipedia incel article''' is a piece on [[Wikipedia|the world's largest wiki]] covering the topic of [[involuntary celibate]]s. It was deleted on 13 August 2015, and then again on 8 October 2015, and then finally on 29 December 2015, at which pointed it was also protected against re-creation. After the [[Toronto van attack]], [[GorillaWarfare]] re-created the article on 24 April 2018 and wrote much of its current content. On 15 June 2018, [[Courcelles]] semi-protected the article indefinitely against editing by non-autoconfirmed users. | The '''Wikipedia incel article''' is a piece on [[Wikipedia|the world's largest wiki]] covering the topic of [[involuntary celibate]]s.

The article cites [[Alana]] as the [[origin of the term "incel"]], rather than crediting [[Henry Flynt]]. In its discussion of incel communities, the article mentions only [[r/Incels]] and [[r/Braincels]], omitting any non-[[Reddit]] incel communities such as [[Incelocalypse]] or [[Incels.me]]. The piece also states, "Self-identified incels are mostly white", a claim many incels find dubious. | The article cites [[Alana]] as the [[origin of the term "incel"]], rather than crediting [[Henry Flynt]].
