I’ve definitely seen “is not it” used before, usually in the context of things like speeches or rhetoric where someone has considered what to say beforehand and wants to keep a sense of formality. Generally it’ll be part of a rhetorical question, like “Is not it better to be x than be y?”

Its OK, but the best meme ever? This isn’t it.
It’s spelt innit
Or at least that’s what it sounds like when I say it
“is it” is the whole verb, and “is it not” the unabridged reciprocal or whatever the term is.
‘Is it not’ is the proper syntax.
I hope I’ve been informative.

You can, it just sounds wrong because we don’t.
*doesn’t
It doesn’t even sound wrong. It is something people use. Just not as often.
“Is this the thing you’re looking for?”
“That is not it.”
That isn’t it That is not it it
That isn’t it That is not it it
Isn’t = is not, where are you getting the second it from?
When it comes to doing this right, this is not it.

There is a fairly common way to use the phrase, but that is not it.
That’s because people got their words all mixed up. Back in the day, “is not it” would absolutely be the normal way to phrase “isn’t it.”
It sounds weird today of course.
I saw a smart meme today. This is not it.
Why won’t this work => why will not this work
Try it Shakespearean 🤣
Why will this not work.
Your sentence reads super wrong to me.
The contraction is “will not”
