Even the expanded version seems entertainment rather than information. It's good to be entertaining, but it's not our primary job.
- About how big is this thing? Six feet? Six inches?
-depends on the height of the ceiling it is being installed in.
- Is it carried in the hands, or a fixture, or something else? Or are there several types?
- Is it round in cross section? Or something else? Or doesn't it really matter?
-yes it is round
- If it's an invention, who invented it and about when? Ancient Rome? Soho in the 1920s? Or unknown and lost in the history of stripping? Or is invention just flowery language?
- Is it common? Would you be expected to know how to use one to get a job as a stripper? Or is its use restricted to certain cultures (which)?
-No you would not be expected to know how to use one if you want to be a stripper, you would however need to know how to use it, if you wanted to be a pole dancer
- Did any of the famous strippers listed in our main article use one?
If we can't answer at least a few of these questions, then is it perhaps a neologism and should be relisted on VfD (assuming it gets through this time)? The question of size and general purpose should probably be answered in the first paragraph. It is partly answered in the striptease article, but it's still a bit obscure and I don't feel competent to transcribe the information (if information it be, rather than speculation).
I feel a little like the boy in The Emperor's New Clothes asking these questions. I hope he has something on! Andrewa 13:36, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
