Talk:Finger heart

Justification for article's existence

Is there any reason why this article should exist, rather than be part of the 'hand heart' article? There's barely any content here, and few sources. This gesture has been taken up as an entirely different cultural function around the world, as indicated as even the Leader of North Korea participating https://cdn.japantimes.2xx.jp/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/f-kimfinger-a-20180924-870x452.jpg. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.125.12 (talk) 21:45, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

In the photo you linked, you can see Moon Jae-in. The article the photo came from suggests that Moon taught Kim the symbol as an exchange of culture, not as a unique interpretation by the North Koreans. Their cultures, especially regarding entertainment, are far more entwined than you may believe.

We base article splits on whether coverage is present for the topic. Imo there's enough written about this gesture exclusively, separately from the hand heart gesture, to merit a separate article toobigtokale (talk) 22:30, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Clarification on sources

There is no good place to indicate where the gesture has been formed, and with this said, we can not use ambiguous "source" such as https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D_NFqkJU0AInQ_w?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 where it seems clear that the 2 individuals on the left are snapping, and the 2 individuals on the right have completed snapping. Unless we have video evidences or more reliable sources, this topic should be avoided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bnetplayer (talk • contribs) 03:06, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

This is definitely not the origin of the trend, but in the next section on here I discuss more credible origins.Katabatic03 (talk) 03:14, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

New sections for Origin and K-Pop should be created

This article may hold the key to understanding who started the Finger heart trend: Kim Hye-soo. This article from the same website also claims that G-Dragon or Yang Se-hyung may have started it without realizing it when they were much younger posing for photos.

Also we can link the finger heart trend to the general Asian pop culture of gesturing in photos which is similar to how they use the V sign, as well as putting in some information that ties this in with the Korean aegyo culture, as well as K-pop. Katabatic03 (talk) 03:10, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Requested speedy deletion

I originally added Template:Rough translation to the article, but I noticed that a lot of the text on this article was originally the same as the output given when putting the Korean article into Google Translate. I added the Template:Db-a2 template to request speedy deletion under WP:A2. (This is my first time requesting speedy deletion so feel free to let me know if I messed up somewhere in the process.)

Asking for money

In many parts of Europe, this is a sign to indicate that you ask for money! On a closer look, this gesture has no graphical resemblance to any heart.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.96.156.51 (talk) 09:11, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

I have added a hatnote to money gesture. — HTGS (talk) 02:17, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
