Declined an A7 on this article, but I'm unable to find any reliable sources providing significant coverage of this..."hug". Given the claim that it was "created" apparently by the article's creator, I think there's a good chance that this is something made up one day. I will, of course, withdraw this nomination if someone uncovers enough sources to pass WP:V and WP:N. Tim Song (talk) 19:51, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• It appears that the phrase is used somewhat per GBooks results, but not in the sense used in the article. Tim Song (talk) 20:08, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:NEO. It was invented by some guy in 2003, and has gotten no news coverage since. Bearian (talk) 01:58, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Although there is a Facebook "following", the gesture doesn't seem notable enough to break beyond WP:MADEUP status. With time, if it becomes more common and significant, it might warrant an article. For now, at the most, merge the GBooks info about establishing this gesture with children into the Hug article. - SoSaysChappy (talk) 04:57, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The Google Books reference they posted didn't even mention hand hug anywhere in it. I don't think it needs an article. --P Carn (talk) 01:29, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I should have been a little more clear...the information there is about "hand hugs" in the book results isn't enough to have its own article. If such information were to be included on here, it needs to be in the hug article, or maybe even the handshake or holding hands articles. - SoSaysChappy (talk) 16:29, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: But if you search the Google Books "reference" Hand Hug is not mentioned anywhere at all. That is not an actual reference for the page. P Carn (talk) 02:45, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
