The result was redirect‎ to Imaginary chair. I have taken the suggestion to preemptively move wall sit to imaginary chair. But the move can be undone at editorial discretion. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 20:56, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Issues have been raised regarding this name since 2005, and no RS has been provided to give this name since. Move relevant information into wall sit article and delete this unless RS can be given for this name. GnocchiFan (talk) 15:55, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

• Perhaps if the original creator of the article had known that this is called the imaginary chair in many books and reports going back to the 1970s about posture torture methods employed in apartheid South Africa, and had not simply made up a name for this, things would have gone a little differently for the past 18 years.

  Thanks for sourcing this! Do you think it's still best to delete this article and re-start from scratch, or should we move this to imaginary chair with content from the source? (If there are no sources for this term then the current title will be deleted as a redirect I assume...) GnocchiFan (talk) 17:36, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: I just added the Rejali 2009 ref to Wall sit, with this AfD as the attribution. I think renaming the Wall sit page to Imaginary chair is a good idea. The torture aspect seems more encyclopedic than the exercise, not to mention better sourced. Owen× ☎ 18:04, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
