Hendon shuffle

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Zero sources. The term "Hendon shuffle" supposedly once was mentioned in UK police motorcycle training manuals, but it is no longer to be found there (if it ever was). The term doesn't appear in any known publications, books, magazines or newspapers, except a passing mention in the Telegraph. One or two forum postings, but nothing comes even close to meeting the criteria for Notability. The term probably fell into disuse and isn't present in dozens of motorcycle riding manuals because it serves no purpose. Dennis Bratland (talk) 01:49, 23 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete – As the nom says, not found in any books or reliable sources. It did have a good number of explanations on various cycling forums. Looks like a possibly apocryphal piece of motorcycling lore passed down as part of the oral tradition. If it was ever taught at the Hendon Police Academy, surely it would have had a different name, which might explain why we can't find it. If we had a reliable source I think it might be worth explaining, but as of now we don't, so I guess it's a delete. – Margin1522 (talk) 02:50, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Very possibly true, but nowhere evidenced. "It is said" (in the last paragraph) sums up pretty much the whole article: it seems to be popular motorcycling lore written up at length. Relentlessly (talk) 14:32, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
