Talk:Pos

Untitled

POS can be used as slang, mostly by uneducated African-Americans, to mean "piece of shit".

The article already contains that definition. :-)

PoS - Parent over Shoulder

The first time I've ever in my life seen this used was on a commercial against online predators. I've used the internet all my life and had NEVER seen it before. Usually people in chatrooms say things like "999" or "666" and other repetitions, or predetermined words.

Pain of Salvation

Pain of Salvation should be removed. Right now it is an ad, because: - the band is not well known - less people know it as pos - not even on the wiki page of pain of salvation the word "pos" can be found

Clearly a fan is trying to push his favourit band. That is nice, but the wikipedia is not an advertising plattform (I suggest myspace instead). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.69.98.91 (talk) 12:42, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't appear to also be known as "POS", so I'm unlisting it. I have comment on the notability though. +mt 18:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Requested move 23 August 2026

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. The comments questioning the reasoning behind the move have been made moot by Pos (surname), and they weren't outright opposing it, so I do not see a reason to relist this instead of moving it.

POS → Pos – Correct title according to WP:DABNAME. ~2026-46044-43 (talk) 17:35, 23 August 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Thanks! —1isall (talk | contribs) 18:56, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

• Comment Is "Pos" really a word though? The only non-acronym usage I'm seeing is Posdnuos (Kelvin Mercer of De La Soul). 162 etc. (talk) 01:56, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

This is a self-contradicting rationale - that section of the guideline doesn't support this in a straightforward manner. Please elaborate instead. --Joy (talk) 08:18, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

• Support, there's the rapper Kelvin Mercer known as Pos, Pos Indonesia, Pos Malaysia, and I just made the list over at Pos (surname) which has some entries.--Ortizesp (talk) 13:07, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
