I am concerned that amongst the many videos of talks and speeches
where people refer to their notes, it is these recent Women's march
videos that have been targeted to set an unusual precedent and are
being vigorously argued for deletion, along with some parallel
drama-mongering on Jimmy Wales' talk page. Perhaps it would be
healthier to put up an equal number of comparative videos of men
talking at WMF events, using the same arguments about prepared notes
needing to be published before the video can be considered correctly
released; or would that be too pointy?

The U.S. government website for the International Women of Courage Award is
down. There are probably quite a few articles that link to this page, as it
helps establish notability for many women in the Global South.
The award was started by Condoleezza Rice in 2007 when she served as U.S.
Secretary of State under Republican president George W. Bush.
