[edit] Silly dance moves in Lindy

It's nice that people find silliness in things. I just don't think it's encyclopedia material. At first glance, not being familiar with dance jargon, one might think "silly" could be a term of art in dance, and that the article's author didn't define that well, but after reading the talk page, I do not think this is the case. Here's my test for encyclopedic here: can the article stand on it's own if you remove all opinion and leave just facts: answer = NO, entire article is subjective opining; D E L E T E--Fuhghettaboutit 07:00, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

LOL - Delete. Blackcats 07:42, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and expand- rename if necessary. I don't see how this is any different from the many articles in Category:Lindy_Hop_dance_moves. The moves on this list exist as far as I can tell and are an important aspect of this dance. Add sources and co-ordinate better with our existing Lindy hop coverage yes, delete no way. -- JJay 07:56, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
• Rename to Lindyhop dance moves and rewrite as appropriate. Dance moves are inherently silly anyay. Kappa 09:26, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
  • That is not an option. We already have Lindy Hop moves, which is where this article arose from (originally named Silly (dance move)) in the first place. Uncle G 15:30, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Merge back with Lindy Hop moves then. Kappa 18:41, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
      • It wasn't a split in the first place. Uncle G 12:11, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

  • LOL Kappa. Endomion 19:22, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
  • You are right. We do need a list like that. Python creations deserve more scholarly attention-- JJay 18:45, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
