Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/The Pose
Given that I have no clue as to how to place my vote (I'm not experienced in Wikipedia,) I'll just have to voice my opinion here. "The Pose" is not a bad joke. It's not a joke at all. It is merely a simple article (which will be expanded upon in the near future) that describes a forthcoming social trend like none ever seen before. There isn't any vandalism, it maintains an informative tone, and there is no offensive content within. Perhaps the reason it is up for deletion stems from the fact that, as of right now, it is an isolated social phenomenon started by one person (and thus, it's true potential hasn't been realized by everyone yet, especially not the administrators voting to remove this page.) But let's remember Marxism for a moment. Imagine if Wikipedia had existed back then, and you had deleted a page Friedrich Engels had put up describing the socioeconomic theory his buddy Marx had proposed. Big mistake, huh? Laughed into oblivion you would have been. I'm not asking for "The Pose" to be granted an infinite life on Wikipedia, just given a chance for the greater implications of the dance within to take root in a larger portion of society. It can't hurt anybody!
