Nuke this 100% original essay unreferenced since 2009. - Altenmann >talk 17:10, 19 August 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 16:53, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment I disagree that this is an essay. It's an unreferenced start-class broad-concept article, but given that dance studies is an entire discipline, I imagine that it has received scholarly treatment at some point (I'll leave it to others to find, at which point I'll be more likely to !vote). This is a subtopic of Dance music, so at the very least it could be merged or redirected there (or to Concert or somewhere else relevant) rather than straight deleted, an outcome I'd oppose. Dance-related topics are woefully underdeveloped on Wikipedia (hello systemic bias), but if sources exist then that is a surmountable problem, and in a more developed future I could see this being a valid scope for an article. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 05:07, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, you may disagree, but the subject is thoroughly unreferenced and I failed to find any scholarly/journalistic treatment of the term. Hence it is original research/essay in my perception. And of course you cannot merge/redirect unreferenced content. - Altenmann >talk 05:36, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Dance-related topics are woefully underdeveloped Yep, WikiProject Dance is dead. - Altenmann >talk 00:51, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect (or merge if anyone grabs a source) to Dance party, another broad concept article which currently includes an [also unsourced] paragraph about sound systems, DJs, and live bands that could be elaborated. Doesn't seem like we need separate articles at this point IMO. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:46, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment Yikes, this is old wikipedia. I don't even know where to redirect. Oaktree b (talk) 22:42, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to dance party seems ok. Oaktree b (talk) 13:25, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
