Twirlin'

This article has been tagged for notability since June 2007, and I could not verify that the references cited sufficed for WP:N nor did an online search turn up any that did. This is a procedural nomination and I have no strong opinion on the fate of the article. Skomorokh 16:21, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Needs improvement, further improvement and references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.214.185.206 (talk) 23:41, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per my previous prod. --Stormbay (talk) 04:01, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The naming may be off but those organizations who employ canes in the step-dancing routines certainly have helped define this dance form independent of regular Stepping - another article that also needs work. The only issue remains sourcing which hardly seems improbable. These fraternities stage shows and competitions so it makes more sense to talk about the dance style than the fraternities or competitions themselves. We're also dealing with WP:CSB when dealing with minority groups and not having their reliable sources being listed alongside google news hits. here's a book on the subject; cane dancing, btw, is an old artform of African dance /tap and jazz. This dance form is directly tied to the National Pan-Hellenic Council, and more broadly, African American Greek lettered fraternities and sororities. -- Banjeboi 05:58, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep There seem to be sources at present. DGG (talk)`
Keep--WP:CBS, we should help to develop articles on subjects neglected by the encyclopedia as a whole. --Jmundo (talk) 18:27, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have faith in Benjiboi's judgement, and so trust that the sources suffice to write a decent article. Skomorokh 19:32, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
