Just a warning that the [[Happy (Pharrell Williams song)#In popular culture|In popular culture]] section should contain only [[WP:RS|properly sourced]] examples that are bona fide cultural references. "[[Wikipedia:"In popular culture" content|In popular culture]]" sections should contain [[WP:V|verifiable facts]] of interest to a broad audience of readers, which means that they must have a reference to a reliable source that verifies BOTH that the song was included or referenced AND that the event actually qualifies as "popular culture". A middle-school graduation might've played that song, but it doesn't qualify as main-stream popular culture. If a cultural reference is genuinely significant it should be possible to find a [[WP:RS|reliable secondary source]] that supports that judgment. Quoting a respected expert attesting to the importance of a subject as a cultural influence is encouraged. Absence of these secondary sources should be seen as a sign of limited significance, not an invitation to draw inference from primary sources. |

Dancers in the video
I'm starting and maintaining my own annotated list to the dancers in the 24 hour dance video. This includes screenshots of the dancer credits. http://www.imaginaryplanet.net/weblogs/idiotprogrammer/2014/03/roberts-ultimate-guide-to-all-24-hours-of-pharrell-williams-happy-video/Robert J Nagle (talk) 05:33, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
Proposed merge with Happy Iranians
Reaction to people dancing to the song should be on the page about the song; there is already one line about it in the song's page; can be expanded 331dot (talk) 18:26, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose - Fairly significant political event. Deserves its own article. --BoogaLouie (talk) 20:42, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- Support – This 'political event' can have its own sub-section in the "Music video" section that already deals with all those tribute videos, and "Happy Iranians" can be left as a redirect to that section, but I don't think it's significant enough to have a separate article and should be merged. — Mayast (talk) 20:20, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose - Political, distinct, different class. Gordo (talk) 08:32, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
- Support - Honestly, sad as it is, events like this happen so often in dictatorships that we could fill wikipedia with just articles on each arrest. It is best to merge it here. It's not caused any effect or virality in in the West or Iran that warrants it having its own article. JTdale Talk 12:19, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Support - the merge. That is all.--PeterGriffin • Talk2Me 11:37, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
- Support - There were many significant political interpretations of Harlem Shake but none of them merited articles of their own and this is usual business in Iran. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 14:01, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
- Support - The merge is pretty necessary since the article references the song way more than any other "political issue". It only seems to make sense. ZoharN (talk) 14:46, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
- Support - agree w/everyone else who has supported the merge.. Mfribbs Talk 12:38, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
- I will support this merge for now, but if there is going to be more coverage on this topic on the future, which it may likely do, then I would probably recreate the article. 和DITOREtails 15:23, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
In Popular Culture
Just a warning that the In popular culture section should contain only properly sourced examples that are bona fide cultural references. "In popular culture" sections should contain verifiable facts of interest to a broad audience of readers, which means that they must have a reference to a reliable source that verifies BOTH that the song was included or referenced AND that the event actually qualifies as "popular culture". A middle-school graduation might've played that song, but it doesn't qualify as main-stream popular culture. If a cultural reference is genuinely significant it should be possible to find a reliable secondary source that supports that judgment. Quoting a respected expert attesting to the importance of a subject as a cultural influence is encouraged. Absence of these secondary sources should be seen as a sign of limited significance, not an invitation to draw inference from primary sources.
