List of yo-yo tricks

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is an indiscriminate list that provides no information whatsoever about any of these tricks. It contains no information and no criteria for inclusion. This article may meet the criteria for speedy deletion, but I listed it here anyway in case it was controversial. Hnsampat 19:22, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikibooks. Geez, There's a site call Wikibooks! Use it! 142.58.101.27 22:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Wikibooks is for textbooks. It is not a dumping ground. Uncle G 00:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge since the use of the Yo-Yo is reasonably notable, a list of the various tricks associated with it would be appropriate. However, I do see that this list is not very much, as it just names the trick, with no description.  I suggest adding descriptions in order to flesh out the contents.

 * Strong Keep. Just reference more.  Best, --Wikipedian, Historian, and Friend? 16:46, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * just opined "strong keep" in 27 AFD discussions over a period of 35 minutes, several times with clearly disruptive rationales. Uncle G 16:58, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete a list of yo-yo tricks is not needed here. I see no reason to keep this page. A load of yo-yo tricks are not notable as far as I'm aware. Acalamari 18:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep for now to see if descriptions of the various tricks can be a[dded. If they can article could be useful for some people.  If nothing is added then another look at deletion in future could be necessary. Davewild 20:10, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Response FYI, this page has been in existence since 2004 and has pretty much looked the same in all of that time. In 3 years, if nobody's been able to add meaningful descriptions to this page, then I think it's time to pull the plug.--Hnsampat 21:22, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment explaining reasoning for DELETE I think there are two key reasons why this page simply has to go. First, as it stands, it is an unsourced, indiscriminate list with absolutely no substance whatsoever. It doesn't even define what each of these tricks is. The second and probably more important point, though, is the fact that this list has no hope of every being encyclopedic. Only one or two yo-yo tricks may pass Wikipedia's requirements for notability. All other additions to this page will be non-notable and will most likely have not been cited by any reliable source. As such, this page is a magnet for original research (which, in this case, will be people inventing their own yo-yo tricks and then posting them, which is what I suspect the page is right now). It has no hope of every being encyclopedic.--Hnsampat 21:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't see any of your arguments as justification for deletion. Descriptions of the various tricks could be added to the page.  References do exist ( and .  I'm not seeing any significant original research on the page right now, but if it were a problem, it's easy to deal with by requiring sources as is the usual practice.  Sorry, but your claims that this page can't be encyclopedic just don't persuade me.  I think this is just a page that attracts little attention, but it could be improved.  At the most, merge it to Yo-yo. FrozenPurpleCube 22:39, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete this current version without prejudice against later creation. There is no context to this list at all.  Yamaguchi先生 01:40, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
