Betsy Haug

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a non-notable jazz-dance teacher with one single source that does not support the claims made in the article. Those come "(from official biography)", per the article creator, who mentioned that that: "This is original material, it needs no references". Mduvekot (talk) 18:56, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

I also think it should be deleted. Does not seem to be notable. The only source just says that she was part of 4 shows. --Rogerx2 (talk) 19:11, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * She hasn't been active in a long while but Gbooks does show hits like this. She seemed to be an active choreographer in her time, especially of "floor shows" in NYC. But also Broadway. Someone w/ Highbeam may be able to find more in-depth stuff. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:35, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete No reliable sources in the article. The source identified by Shawn in Montreal does not seem to lead to an actual mention, and even if it did it would not be enough to pass GNG on its own.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:40, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
 * That source says "Palmer taught Betsy Haugh technique, and Mestey, spending his summers in New York took classes with Haug herself. Haug's insistence on the coordination of different movements on different parts of the body occurring at the same time became helpful [..]" and then I can't see any more. That may very well be a sign of meeting some of our notability criteria, like "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique.". If more sources like this emerge, and can be used to build an article based on (here we go again) independent, reliable sources, I'll withdraw the nomination. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mduvekot (talk • contribs) 23:23, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
