Fails WP:GNG. Lacks sufficient references. At best, redirect to Audience response or one of the other wikilinked articles mentioned. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 22:11, 23 May 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  23:43, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete/TNT - searching on Google Scholar, "Applause sign" does appear to be a notable topic, but the applause sign described in academic literature is totally unrelated to the current subject of this article, instead referring to a diagnostic test for Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diseases.  So, there is a notable topic to be written at this title, but precisely none of the current content will be relevant to it. signed,Rosguill talk 22:30, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to Studio audience. It is a thing that exists in a narrow context. If another sense is developed into an article later, the title or hatnote situation can be figured out at that time. BD2412  T 18:24, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * For what it's worth, I think I'm up to the task of writing a stub about the medical topic and intend to do that once it's been decided what to do with the existing content. signed,Rosguill talk 04:41, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge as suggested and is reasonable. Bearian (talk) 14:58, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
