This article seems to be mostly about Twerk Team which appears to be a non-notable organization. The remaining content would seemingly be an example of WP:NEO with very few reliable references to support it as a commonly used term. Mkdwtalk 10:33, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No prejudice to withdrawing if further support but when first nominated the sources were only youtube videos. Mkdwtalk 07:09, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - the fact that thousands of teenage girls followed that "non-notable organization" is, in fact, notable. Let me give you an example. The Cinnamon challenge and dog shaming are both similar phenomenons and as you can see they haven't been deleted. --Երևանցի ասելիք կա՞ 14:55, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Then a separate article about Team Twerk should be made if they meet WP:ORG but most of their citations are Youtube. And you know that if x exists then y should is not grounds for establishing notability and inclusion. Mkdwtalk 21:50, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Notable dance style, with a current article that would seem to place too much emphasis on a couple YouTubers. The Drover's Wife (talk) 06:29, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Strictly in terms of the definition, the article does not add much beyond the definition in which Wiktionary would be the suitable choice. Mkdwtalk 05:45, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep consider moving Team Twerk according to which is most notable, make the other a redirect. Rich Farmbrough, 03:19, 6 January 2013 (UTC).[reply]
