Golden body painting dance show

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Based on the two sources, this appears to be a form of butoh that has existed since 1959 at least. Creator insists it is distinct from butoh. In any case, there is not enough here for an article; this document as it exists is mostly an unsourced, sort-of-Japanese-to-English-dictionary; not a WP article about a form of dance or street entertainment. Fails GNG, fails to provide much encyclopedic context at all. Jytdog (talk) 16:23, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

This is separated from butoh dance because it's a body painting dance show used in special events in Japan. Sarrena (talk) 22:21, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see any evidence that this is a distinct dance form, and more importantly, that it is a notable dance form. It seems like some performers used golden paint in a butoh performance. That doesn't mean it is a different dance form. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:43, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
