Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (hey its significant cause it broke the world cup record for the highest tweet in 24 hours 41 million tweets) --180.191.118.32 (talk) 01:03, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, the record-breaking event on Twitter is not specifically because of the "pabebe wave" but because of the Aldub tandem / kalyeserye: as in the pabebe wave did not spawn the 41 million tweets, but the "Tamang Panahon" event did. When an article is nominated for deletion, it does not necessarily mean that the subject is not important, but it could mean that the subject probably does not warrant its own separate article, as the "Pabebe Wave" could go under either AlDub or Kalyeserye articles. Now saying that, in order to retain this article, and avoid it being nominated again for deletion, we have to try to make it to fit Wikipedia:Notability guidelines. Therefore, I have removed the Aegyo and the Pabebe Wave section, as there is hardly any reliable source to cite showing the relation between the two, except for an interview with a professor who says that it *may* have a correlation; this argument (although maybe right, valid or plausible) will not be strong enough for notability on the Wikipedia page.

Instead, I have added the "Social and Cultural Impact" section, which has more reliable sources, to help in the article's notability argument and improve the chances of this article staying as a separate Wikipedia page, and hopefully prevent it from being deleted.

Also, in regards to the removal of the "Aegyo and the Pabebe Wave" section, the paragraph under the section violates copyright policies and should be removed as agreed by this edit.Tankytoon (talk) 15:17, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Rose Bowl??

Isn't this the same wave that has been parodied in American culture for (seemingly) millennia? The wave made famous by the women standing or sitting on the floats of the Rose Bowl Parade, et al? I didn't know it had a name, or that it had a recent resurgence since the mid-to-late 20th century. Oh, and it needs to be accompanied by a plastic, unwavering smile and the occasional head swivel coupled with a switch to the opposing hand. I like to saw logs!
