Note: This thread was proposed by amathieu13.

Been around since 2008 and has only 19 wicks. More than that though, this doesn't seem to be tropeworthy as it's just a list of different ways people can kiss and includes some dubious analysis about what hand placements during kisses signify.

While I think there's some merit to both troping the more classic and iconic kissing poses used in visual media and collecting them all together, 1) the former is probably better off with troping the actual kisses themselves (e.g. Foot Popping, Hollywood Kiss)note  and 2) Kissing Tropes is effectively that list.

Recommendation: Cut or merge into Kissing Tropes.

Paging ~amathieu13 to the thread. Anyway, I'm in favor of cutting because I don't think the inbounds are high enough to justify keeping it even as a redirect (the page predates the current inbound count).

My preference would be to redirect to Kissing Tropes, but I don't think we'd lose anything by cutting outiright.

It's funny because we're all living in a simulation and free will is a lie.

I see no need to wait the full three days for a Chairs-y wick-starved trope, so I'll just fold the cut votes and redirect votes together by redirecting to Kissing Tropes.
