Talk:Take point

AfD survived

This article, under its former name of Walk point was proposed for deletion on 24 Oct. 2006. After discussion and a rewrite of the article, the AfD was withdrawn. Bejnar 22:59, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Someday very soon I'm planning to expand this article significantly...

...and therefore render less significant the popular culture para I just added. If someone else feels strongly about it, delete the para for now, and I'll put it back in when it's more proportionally appropriate. IMHO, sometimes well-sourced folk references are necessary so that Wikipedia helps a reader better understand the language. BusterD 23:56, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I think how you're handling it makes sense. Like it or not, the reference as it is probably isn't well understood outside of the cultural aspect, but a decent expansion (which I'll be glad to help on when I can find some info) will give the section a more desirable weight. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:13, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Merge

Should this article be merged with the 'point man' article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.16.223.109 (talk) 12:29, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Merger proposal

Seeing as how the two pages refer to an action and the person taking such action, I propose to merge Take point and Point man. after all, there's no page for a car driver, but there is a page for driving. I am unsure as to which page will become a redirect or whether both pages need to be moved to a totally new name, but I am certain they should be merged.Yuravian (talk) 20:58, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Merged. — Swpb^{τ • c} 13:56, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

On point

In recent American youth (especially hip hop) culture, the idiom "on point" refers either to someone who possesses abundant and various qualities of competence, leadership or style, or to specific acts which demonstrate such qualities. - does this have any direct connection to the subject of the article, or should it be split out into a separate one? --McGeddon (talk) 11:37, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
