Talk:Compulsory dance

Artistic rolling skating
Question: Does the content in this article about the compulsory dance in Artistic roller skating really belong here? I'd think that since figure skating and rolling skating are 2 separate, different sports, wouldn't it make sense that the content about Artistic roller skating be removed from this article and put in that article? I know they're similar, but not enough to be grouped together. I suggest, then, that we remove the content about roller skating. Please discuss; if no one responds in 7 days from now (15 July 2018), I'll be WP:BOLD and do it. Thanks. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 17:18, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * As I'm thinking about this (since we've passed the deadline I imposed), it has occurred to me that my proposal would entail the creation of 2 new articles: Compulsory dance (ice dance) and Compulsory dance (artistic roller skating). The information about CDs in artistic roller skating would go into that article, and the information about ice dance would be moved to its own article.  Then we'd delete this original article.  I believe that it would improve articles about both sports.  Sometime later today (tomorrow my time), I'll start the process. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 03:51, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Proposal
Everyone, so I've gone through this article and removed old/outdated content and updated its refs. I haven't done anything to the Dances section because I'd like to create an entirely new article about pattern dances, based off of the description in U.S. Figure Skating's Rulebook, pp. 402-520. For now, I'd like to remove the Dances section and put a note in Rhythm dance (which I've proposed to be merged with Short dance), referring readers to the section in the Rulebook. Of course, if it happens, that means that this article will no longer be a GA if it were to ever go through GAR, something we should keep in mind. Please discuss, including what we should do if we don't follow my proposal, and if there's no disagreement with it, I'll go ahead and make the changes and then begin on the new article.
