Draft:Impact of Gamergate was created 19:32, 14 January 2024 as a result of this discussion at Talk:Gamergate (harassment campaign) about possibly splitting off section Talk:Gamergate (harassment campaign) § Legacy from the main article. (Any discussion about whether to split should occur at the talk page of that article, not here.) As of rev. 1195681697 of 21:36, 14 January 2024, readable content of the draft is still a copy of the Legacy section of the article; the only changes are to pre-content matter, end matter, reference naming, and so on.

The lead of this Draft (as of rev. 1195681697 of 21:36, 14 January 2024) is just the four paragraphs of content at the top of section
§ Legacy before the first subsection heading. At 11kb, it represents one third of all the readable content of this draft—that's way too long. Also, there is plenty of material in it that is not a summary of the article and contains
unique information not present in the body. One possibility, would be to simply stick a section heading above it, such as == Overview ==, which would solve both problems but leave the article with no lead. Still, that may be the best path forward, as a new lead could be written based on the entire content.

The current naming and organization of the sections is chronological by years or range of years. This very likely stems from the organization of the main article, which grew organically over time, and updates were placed in new sections at the bottom, named after the year. However in this article, we now have enough perspective to look back and organize it differently, if we wish. As the impact has divided into several directions, I think it would now be best to organize it thematically rather than chronologically, but that would be a big change, and if attempted, should wait for resolution of the split proposal.
