Quote deleted with motivation "better source needed"?

Here.[1] Twitter is widely accepted on Wikiquote, even in this article there are numerous quotes from Twitter and they have never been deleted. Mhorg (talk) 20:01, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

See Wikiquote:Quotability: "2. Is the quote original to the author to whom or work to which it is being attributed?" The answer in this case must be no and it has not been quoted in any secondary source. That the article contains many tweets/posts on "X' does not invalidate this point.
