Bring back this page

I'll make this into a deletion review once I figure out how.

I think it's time to bring back the "Duck Face" page. This was once an independent page for "Duck Face" that was deleted in 2008. Part of the rationale was that there was a mention of the duck face at the Gurn article.

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Duck_face

Now there is no mention of the duck face at "Gurn" either.

This is not only an internet meme (see knowyourmeme.com link, below), but also well known to people who, for example, see photos of celebrities in Us Weekly, People Magazine, or Entertainment Weekly, or watch the red carpet on the Oscars telecast (see chicagotribune.com link, below). Thousands and thousands of "duck faces" are made in photos every day, and sent to friends via email, text message, Facebook, and Twitter.

I'd estimate that many times more people know what a "duck face" is than a "gurn". Memes such as Cats That Look Like Hitler have their own page, whereas "Duck Face" is much more deserving.
