The result was redirect to Walking. The only keep arguments do not appear to be addressing the notability concerns and seem to be single-purpose accounts. Going for a redirect to Walking because it has more support in terms of headcount and arguments, and leaving the page history in case someone can take useful information from it.

Beach Walking

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

"Beach Walking" seem to be non-notable categories of sport. Almost all references on the web to its "governing body" that I see on Google seem to be spam type links. While there seem to be many references on the web to the concept of walking on the beach or 5Ks that are held on beaches, there doesn't seem to be any notability to the concept as its own category of sport. only (talk) 02:08, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge to Walking (sport). I did find some articles that seem reputable covering the concept of beach walking or running, but it seems more like a phrase to ambling on the beach in the context of the article, not an official phrase for an official sport. . Perhaps I'm missing some articles and completely and totally wrong, so I will do one more google search. Yvarta (talk) 02:54, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - found nothing, really, a few more references to beach walking as a casual form of recreation, but not a sport . I do get the impression it is a sport to a small community of people, but they haven't garnered the coverage to pass WP:GNG. Yvarta (talk) 03:01, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep I have changed the text and the links of the page of Beach Walking. I think that is OK.--Beach run do (talk) 06:37, 23 August 2016 (UTC) — Beach run do (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep I think that Beach Walking is a sport and a Health and fitness activity. Perhaps the solution is improve the definition. In any case, I think that it is right now, Beach Walking is a physical activity or a sport.

 * You can walk on any level surface. That's pretty much how walking works. I see that it has already been added to Walking, unreferenced. delete and redirect to there, at least for now. And/or to the sports article. Certainly agree with Yvarta and the nominator that we don't need a separate article at this time. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:16, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
