[edit] The Cobra (motion)

This gesture is not widely known as "the cobra." This page is essentially a joke. Tcassedy 15:40, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment. Above recently created account, Chubby Chicken, is voting "keep, notable" for numerous clearly non-notable (indeed bordering on speedy) articles. Please keep that grain of information in mind when counting votes. -- BD2412 ^talk 20:21, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)
  • Comment. LOL "recently created".
• Weak delete Media outlets/reviewers have often noted that Trump's hand gesture looks like a cobra, but I don't know that this has actually gained acceptance as a name. --Xcali 17:32, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. No one has notably referred to the hand gesture as "The Cobra". -- BD2412 ^talk 20:09, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)
• Keep, it's a decent page. I would say to merge with Donald Trump, but it would probably look out of place there. So keep, in the absence of anything better to do with it. Bizud 01:58, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Neutral. *if* the content can be verified, it should be a section in gesture. -- Cimon avaro; on a pogostick. 04:20, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

Delete -- I think that the "Cobra gesture" does not need it's own article. I think that somebody could add the "You're Fired" gesture to the existing Donald Trump page. Also, the so-called "Cobra gesture" was only used in season 1 of "The Apprentice". The past two seasons, Trump has used the "Pointing gun" motion. At the end of the day, I think that we could just add a comment about the "you're fired gesture" to the Donald Trump page. This page is useless and consuming space. --- Brendantait 14:01, Jun 21, 2005

• Delete -- It's funny, but not a serious entry for the encylopedia. -Uris 20:41, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
