[edit] Doubble Troubble
I will admit that I don't know much about the juggling world. Possibly these two are very famous within that world. The article reads like promotional material and was, in fact, originally written by someone associated with them (see talk page for details). Google doesn't seem to have much and the book referenced appears to be self published by this website. IrishGuy talk 21:26, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

- Keep. It seems to me that if we have world champions/record holders in other domains, juggling seems to be perfectly reasonable. Juggling may not be high-profile, but it seems to have a recognized international body supporting it. Reasonable media presence. RookwoodDept. of Mysteries 23:25, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
A RESPONSE This juggling act is just as important a listing as other juggling acts that are on wikipedia such as Passing Zone, another juggling duo. Doubble Troubble can be found on IMDB as producing two feature films. Their debut film Olive Juice, which was added to Wikipedia by someone else, even states how the film was one of the most important independent films to come out of Florida. In addition, search through the International Jugglers assocaition and you will see their competition records as well as their current standing as Ring Passing World Record Holders... enough alone to warrant entry into Wikipedia. The articles is also written very concisely and objectively and is less of a promotional page than that of Passing Zone. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RichardBrooksbank (talk • contribs) 20:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC).
In ADDITION I believe also that the Book mentioned "Virtuosos of Juggling" was written by juggling historian Karl Heinz-Zeithen and published by Renegade Juggling, both independent and not associated with Doubble Troubble. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RichardBrooksbank (talk • contribs) 20:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC).
- Keep The sources mentioned above do an adequate job of asserting notability. –Pomte 01:39, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
