[edit] Heel toe dance

Non notable dance, WP:NOT something you create in one day, the external links has nothing on the dance as well Delete, or Merge to Hip hop dance, just not keep -- Jaranda wat's sup 02:35, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:NFT/WP:NEO/WP:NOT a how to guide for dancing. --Daniel Olsen 02:39, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day.--Húsönd 02:41, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above comments. --Supermath 02:43, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Google seems to indicate that it's a real and possibly growing phenomenon [1] but that it's not very widespread and certainly hasn't been covered by multiple non-trivial publications. --Hyperbole 03:43, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - One, there is no other information regarding this very popular hip hop dance move on wikipedia, which was not made up in a classroom and is mentioned on the hip hop dance wikipedia page under new school dance moves. Two, the external links do have extensive information regarding this step. The www.mikesmoves.com site is referenced because the how to part is taken from that site with the permission of the owner. I am hoping more things will be added to this page including a history, specific moves, and current perception sections. This page is just a beginning and in true wiki fashion I wish for it to grow and improve through user input. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maplater (talk • contribs) - creator of article
  • Keep This is acutaly popular, I have heard of it. Also the external links do give verifibility. Tobyk777 06:00, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep and get a source other than "Mike" and his moves. It seems to be known, at least to some people. Otherwise merge to hip hop dance. --Storkk 12:53, 11 October 2006 (UTC).... removing weak keep from my opinion:
  • Merge to hip hop dance and get a source other than "Mike" and his moves. It seems to be known, at least to some people. --Storkk 12:55, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. I realize, this is not what it's all about, but it does seem to be a recognized name for these steps, and moreover is somewhat notable. The existing page needs a lot of cleanup, with the how-to clarified or removed, and perhaps ought to move to Heel Toe (dance); it is not useless to those who want a better article here. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:17, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep even though it's written as a how to / dance class lesson, It is becoming more main stream and even checking alot of the google links here seem notable to me, if it isn't now, will be I believe soon, and is it always necessary to delete articles? But it really needs to be re-written. Khukri (talk . contribs) 20:16, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete per lack of google hits, any recent pop culture phenomenon would have more if it were truly well-known. >Radiant< 22:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep The heel toe is a very mainstream dance. If you want numbers than look at google search results; everyone has heard of the crip walk and the harlem shake and if you do a search for 'crip walk dance' and harlem shake dance' there are 100,000 and 400,000 results respectively for each, while when searching for 'heel toe dance' 2.2 million results are found. Anyone who knows anything about hip hop dancing knows this move, hince it being listed on the hip hop dance wikipedia page before this heel toe page was written.
  • Strong Keep Highly popular dance step. Badly written articles are not the reason for deletion, they are a reason for improvement.
  • Merge to crip walk and remove copyrighted text copied from http://www.mikesmoves.com/heeltoe.html. As the copyrighted text covers almost the entire article I say we just redirect it to crip walk. - Wintran (talk) 00:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
