Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Positive friendships between men and boys in literature and film
A "a rhetorical strategy to show how many types of such friendships are acceptable" is not a encyclopedic article on a topic, it's an original research essay topic. Wikipedia is a compilation of what other reliable sources say, and there are no reliable sources expressly and solely dealing with "positive relationships between men and boys in literature and film". There are sources dealing with both components separately, but none |synthesizing the two. That's an original research subject, plain and simple
