An editor removed a bunch of (mostly sourced) material -- like, half the article -- on the grounds that its not about about planking. And he's got a point, but let's talk about this some. The material covers stuff like "playing dead", "owling", "hadoukening", and so forth: here.
So which of these thing do we want to do?
I don't have a strong opinion, but I hate to see large amount of referenced material erased, if its arguably encyclopedic. So should we fork it off or rename the article,and what would be a good new name for the article? "Posing memes", or what? Herostratus ( talk) 13:36, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/6162412/The-lying-down-game-how-to-play.html is cited and it includes the claim "palms touching your sides and toes touching the ground" which seems overly specific.
Especially since, if we look at the image they use the man's toes are not touching the ground.
The Daily Mail article also uses this and this and this image where the feet are similarly airborne.
The "palms" specificity" of the telegraph also seems inconsistent with picture examples in articles. In this Daily Mail image you can see the palm of the middle person in black shirt pointing upward, not medially into the body. Same with this image
This Daily Mail image has feet contact with a platform but the hands are visibly dangling and not in contact with the body.
I'm wondering if we could find any other definitions presented by other sources which might be broader and more inclusive. Maybe something like elbows at the side of the body, body in a straight line, which do not mention "palm" contact or toes needing to be touching ground.

Some of the included images in the gallery are of planking from far away or are of fairly low image quality. There are some freely licensed pictures available, which could serve as replacements: Google search. Also, why does the image in the header have a Google Maps-looking location marker in it?

the sources in the 'controversy' section aren't that reputable, one is just a Google search and the other, while bringing up a controversy, doesn't relate to the text of the article 75.161.199.81 ( talk) 21:34, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
