Body Positive Movement

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Something needs to be done about this. The article seems to have been a class assignment, and as a result--in typical fashion--it turned into an essay full of SYNTH and OR. I started cleaning out some of the unrelated material, but what will be left? We can't have an article on a vague, general term, and as it turns out, underneath this article, deep in its history, it was always an essay--see this. So, while it is clear that there are various things going on in the world that are related to the body and its image as portrayed in media, health, and entertainment, this article is not the way to get at that for Wikipedia's purposes.

 * Delete - SYNTH issues are almost unfixable for a general essay topic like this one. Nwlaw63 (talk) 00:56, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - I think the article is notable because the movement is also about bodyshaming which is really present nowadays on social media and in the real life. People who are going through this have to know that there is a movement advocating acceptation of their bodies. And the fact that we have famous models like Ashley Graham and Iskra Lawrence and many others personalities as poet and author make the article more notable.Irma2403 (talk) 03:36, 31 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Notable topic yes, but there is nothing to salvage from this essay. The only alternative would be to stub it. -Indy beetle (talk) 03:49, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
