Poke (gesture)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Even the disambiguation page poke recognizes that this is a subject best suited for a dictionary, not an encyclopedia (note that the first link on that page is to Wiktionary). There's no evidence that there is anything encyclopedic to say about the act of poking. Powers T 22:24, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary, the page is a definition. Q.E.D. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:48, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete completely untrue; WP:OR; WP:SYN.  Doesn't even qualify as a dictionary definition as it is not a gesture and simply an act that does not causally relate to the information in the article.Curb Chain (talk) 11:28, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
