== Do not delete : Cultural impact of Michael Jackson ==
{{refideas|1=}}


== Picture used in the lead ==
I am advised that there is talk of deleting this topic. My bias up-front on the topic: I didn't think highly of him nor often of him, but I know that many of my friends voiced positive opinions of him. While I am dispassionate on the subject, I vote to avoid deletion.


The Reagan picture isn't relevant to his cultural impact, and is used on countless other articles related to MJ. This picture fits on the article ], but I don't get how it's relevant to his overall cultural impact. --] (]) 12:08, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
Pop Star Michael Jackson's contribution to culture is relevant as a research topic for academia. It is of interest to fans. Michael Jackson continues, after his passing, to influence artistic expression in North America, and specifically within the United States Pop Music culture, which in turn both influences and reflects the general culture to some degree. Whom among us wouldn't smile (or cringe) at the thought of the Moon-Walk or Thriller. Who can not agree that music influences culture? Michael Jackson music still plays on the air.


:I disagree that it's not relevant to his cultural impact. MJ is seen not just meeting with the then-president and first lady of the US, but at a White House event where he's clearly being presented as an individual in a media event. That is reflective of a cultural standing beyond, say, record sales or other indications of (mere) mass popularity.
Many would call him a beloved icon. As an enormously successful Black-American, he continues to inspire generations of youth. As a controversial offender of public morality (alleged) he continues to be discussed for his character faults. In short, Michael Jackson as a cultural contributor is current, ongoing, and very relevant.
:The image you want to see added still has a place in the article, imo, but not at the expense of the 1984 White House pic. And that's not to say that another alternative might not be better at the top of the article or that MJ with the Regans is the ideal choice; but White House '84 is – so far – the one that best indicates to readers that Jackson's commercial success had cultural influence outside of pop, and therefore that the article has some sort of identity outside of the artist being super-popular. ] (]) 12:40, 7 September 2021 (UTC)


:I think a picture that has Jackson himself, engaging with people/culture, is more relevant than a picture of a platinum record that Jackson possibly never even saw. The article is not about ''Thriller'', or even particularly about its sales figures. It's about Jackson himself, and him meeting Reagan illustrates something about him beyond his record sales. --] <sup>]</sup> 16:11, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
Let's round table a discussion of this proposed deletion. What say you? <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 18:15, 18 July 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I only mentioned the Kopp bill here, so we are not talking about Michael Jackson album discograpraphy (I think none of my contribs belongs there). Of course the source can also be used for the allegations article, but it also fits here. As I said it is a social impact. This change of law did not only affect on Jackson, but it could be used in other cases in California. There are also other articles dealing with the allegations, although not in detail ( e.g. the articles about Michael jackson and Evan Chandler). I kept it short and I won't go into furher detail. Cultural and social impact of Michael Jackson does not mean we can only write about his artistic influence. ] (]) 11:50, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

:Yes we have to write only about "artistic" impact. You are adding more ] and turning it into a bigger ] that this article already is. Can you read ] for some actual idea? This article really lacks sentences like "Professors from ] shows how Madonna's "iconicity" is indeed that of a "meta-icon" in the sense that the self-reflexive imitation of celebrity poses. Calls this strategy "iconizing", in analogy to the concept of "vogueing". The essay also inquires into the blend of biography and performativity that can be said to underlie Madonna's "iconizing" in relation to the performance artists." If you can't then please don't create further problems. ] (]) 05:23, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
I Think "Cultural Impact of Michael Jackson" lacks much more than that. Even those who can't read do see that. “The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read” (Mark Twain). Same thing with editing. Think about it. ] (]) 11:16, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
