I have reopened the AfD discussion in light of the objection. Be advised that AfD is NOT a discussion forum for pursuing a merge and if support for deletion does not appear, most likely another editor will again procedurally close the discussion. Safiel ( talk) 22:04, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
Safiel, I once again closed the AfD (I think). I didn't expect opposition, and have no interest in precipitating controversy. I think it would have been more appropriate to permit sufficient time for all interested parties to weigh in on the topic - and give me time to respond to the more recent posts (the abrupt closure prevented me from saving a response I was writing, which was pretty darned frustrating (just FYI).
Thank you for your efforts! I consider this subject resolved.

I would like to understand why did you consider that my contribution was not right for this page. I think that the examples I gave are relevant recent and original examples that illustrate what is a polemic. Emojis are a sociological and serious subject today since they contribute to build the online (digital) identity.
I'm looking forward to hear about your arguments Thanks you AnasBARAKAT TPT ( talk) 16:27, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
I thought polemic had to be controversial. Unorthodox. To me Animal Farm is a satire, and orthodoxy, not a polemic, or controversial, and reflects the prevailing orthodoxy with regard to the Soviet Union and totalitarianism, though I concede opinion of the Soviet Union, and by extension communism, was then at a post-war zenith. But opinion very rapidly reverted to the pre-war antagonism; the orthodoxy reflected in Orwell's work. More categorical examples of polemic abound, surely.
Aside: Poor Eric Blair; to have your work so consistently mis-understood! Reminds me of the often expressed notion 1984 is about totalitarianism. Well, yes, in a sense. Exclusively. Ah, no. It is equally relevant to the understanding of all forms of government, especially the evolution of forms of government; it is about the pervasive tendency toward authoritarianism, evident throughout human history [ref. Roman Empire], a tendency no less evident today in 'democracies', rather than being just a denunciation of modern totalitarianism as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.151.210.84 ( talk) 12:28, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
