Delete: In over four years, this article has never had reasonable sourcing nor has it attempted to establish notability. It appears to be a promotional gimmick by and for industry manufacturers and competitors. —EncMstr (talk) 23:18, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - This New York Times article on the topic is very in-depth. Other secondary sources like from the St. Petersburg Times and the Denver Post exist as well --Oakshade (talk) 23:41, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - More reliable sources from Vue Weekly, Kelowna.com and the Rutland Herald, discussing a wide range of issues surrounding newschool skiing (a lawsuit between Warren Miller Entertainment and Warren Miller himself over his appearance in a "newschool" film, the inclusion of "newschool" events in the Olympics, and the changing demographics that ski resorts have to cater for, respectively). That said, the article is a mess and probably written mainly by newschool fanboys. "Article hasn't improved in 4 years" is certainly no reason to delete though.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 05:57, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Notable sources appear to be available. The article should be updated accordingly. --4wajzkd02 (talk) 06:25, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * (EDITED)Keep and I sees there is new powder snow coming - gonna set up some rails and boxes for jibbing (pun fully intended). I am the person who removed the prod tag and suggested to be in AfD, fully expecting this topic to be kept. Even though, I am unable to provide specific sources (I am a snowboarder, not a skier), just ask any younger snowboarder/skier and they will say it IS notable and it is an important topic.
