Artistic program of the Olympic opening ceremonies

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I stumbled across this orphaned article that has not had a major edit since 2014. The page creator has not made an edit since 2014 either. To me, this article reads more like an essay, or a research or academic paper, exploring how elements of the artistic program of an Olympic opening ceremony can be used to impress an international audience. I though about merging it to Olympic Games ceremony, but again, most of the content to me reads like something found in a personal essay or scientific journal. It has sentences like "Lighting maximizes the visual impact of the program" or "Music can be used as a powerful tool to manipulate emotions". The article's references are primarily to other scientific journals. Therefore, this article should be deleted per WP:NOTESSAY or WP:NOTJOURNAL. Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:30, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
