[edit] Cirquish
Non-notable form of gibberish used in Cirque du Soleil. Article is only two paragraphs long, both of which are almost word-for-word copies of two of the paragraphs of the only acceptable source cited. PROD tag removed by anon without comment. --Miskwito 16:48, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom; not notable. One source is not enough, and Urban Dictionary does not count. Shalom Hello 18:45, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- Merge to Cirque du Soleil and mention in Grammelot, which is the generic term for this type of language. Urban Dictionary is definitely out, but I also found here and here. Gordonofcartoon 20:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- Very weak keep - Minor notability is there Corpx 01:56, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- Several news articles which are about the Cirque du Soleil mention Cirquish in passing, but I don't immediately see any that demonstrate any real notability or importance of it--it's always just a side-note when talking about the circus itself. The exception is the non-Urban Dictionary source given in the article, which the article comes very very close to plagiarizing. --Miskwito 16:43, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. It's associated with a specific act (rather like Stanley Unwin and his "Unwinese") but is not separately notable, except as an example of the generic Grammelot to which such languages belong. Gordonofcartoon 16:59, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

- Merge and redirect to Grammelot, which already discusses Cirquish. I don't think this article can be kept so long as the sourcing is so weak and there is a possibility of copyvio. I wouldn't oppose the merge to Cirque du Soleil recommended by Gordonofcartoon. His two newspaper references should be added to whichever article this is merged to.
