Goria dance

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BARE (has 1 source, which I already added to Goria Puja) and WP:NOTDICDEF (1.5 unbolstered sentences saying what it is, and ditto) seem to apply here. I was able to already fold the 1.5 sentences of this 5.5+ year-old article into the broader Goria Puja (also a stub but not quite as short). Thinking Delete since there isn't much substance for it to be a redirect etc. but I'm not hyper-opposed should doing that be seen as better TheTiksiBranch (talk) 03:36, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge with Goria puja  - the dance is not a well-known style of dance and probably does not merit its own article. Vorbee (talk) 07:38, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The source cited has a lot of details on the performance of the dance so the page is clearly capable of being expanded.  Furhter possible sources include;
 * Treatise on traditional social institutions of the Tripuri community discusses the dance. Unfortunately, only snippet view of the book is available so it is not easy to assess exactly how much information is there, but this snippet shows the author discussing the dance's popularity in neighbouring regions so it has more than a passing mention.
 * Likewise snippets from The North-East General Knowledge indicate it has non-trivial coverage (from the fact it has a section heading in the book).
 * The scholarly paper "Folk Music and Dances of Tripura" has a lengthy section over two pages on the dance. SpinningSpark 10:57, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep notable tribal dance from Tripura, with enough coverage in English media despite the local language not being English see WP:BIAS. User:Spinningspark has already presented some good sources to claim the notability that I support. In addition, here are some more from Google books.   -- D Big X ray ᗙ  12:17, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
