Ko Ko Bop Challenge

Merge with article for the song. Essentially it's just another viral trend, and there is nothing that can't be covered in the song's article. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ᐐT₳LKᐬ  13:20, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Keep. The Ko Ko Bop Challenge deserves an individual page because: 1. It is an viral trend that is spreading internationally (e.g. Philippines, Argentinia, Mexico, Bolivia) and not only South Korea where the band mainly promotes. 2. An individual page for "Ko Ko Bop" does not exist - only one for the album "The War" with containes informations such as commercial performances, charts and sales. Merging those pages would not be suitable. 3. Other dance challenges / memes such as the Harlem Shake etc. also have individual pages even though they were "just another viral trend".2003:EB:9BD7:9325:20B7:F3F3:2D26:D558 (talk) 14:22, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Ko Ko Bop does exist. WP:OtherStuffExists yes there is a page for Harlem Shake, but there can't be an article for every viral trend. No reason this can't just be included in the song's article. Being marginally popular on the internet is not notable ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador  ᐐT₳LKᐬ  14:36, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

I don't see the problem in this being a main page for the challenge. Sure you could mention it shortly on the page for the song, but you should also forward people to this article as it has more detailed informations (which are being added daily). Many people are interested in this new trend (not only K-Pop fans) and even though it is not as big as other challenges (so far) it still is a viral trend in the making.
