 * Keep or merge with Street dance. Almost 2 million google hits.  The dance battle is an actual phenomenon, not just a joke, as even a cursory amount of research would indicate. Tlogmer ( talk / contributions ) 23:04, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Im sorry, i just find this ridiculous that it could be even considered to be an article in a encyclopedia, yet i do see there is some popularity in the world about it. Cherokee40 (talk) 00:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:IDONTLIKEIT. --Dhartung | Talk 02:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * okay i should of explained that, its not an article if their are no sources, this seems just like some joke to me Cherokee40 (talk) 08:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, although there are at least three names I can think of for this sort of thing, and "dance-off" is a broader, older term also referring to things organized at sock hops and so forth. The gang dance battle has been a motif at least since the 1980s. --Dhartung | Talk 02:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I think this is certainly a deserving topic for an article, but the page as it currently stands is basically an Urban Dictionary entry. Still, better to improve than delete. &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 14:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or moved to wikitionary. seals it for me. Mm40 (talk) 20:57, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. Term is not sufficiently established. Without any references, article seems like a piece of original research. --Abrech (talk) 21:14, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
