Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shindig

Shindig was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was no consensus, but article sensibly redirected. Cool Hand Luke  20:05, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Party. -- [[User:Bobdoe| Bob Doe ]] 06:15, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Common American (not sure about other English-speaking countries) slang for "party." Redirect to Party. --Slowking Man 07:18, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC)
 * Move to wiktionary. WordNet defines Shindig as a large and noisy party of people. I don't think there is any good reason to redirect. Create disambiguation page with links to party and Shindig! created by Mike H. - utcursch 07:40, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC)
 * This word had more currency circa 1960, and I believe it was even used as the title of a TV show at that time, which would merit an article. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:45, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect until someone wants to write an article for the TV show, which I remember watching every week. Before MTV played music, and long before MTV stopped playing music, the only way people saw music was live (or "live") performances on TV shows.  I think "Shindig" was a lip synch one, which is bad, but there were some great shows.  (I remember seeing Tommy James and the Shondells and Tommy Roe on there.) Geogre 14:15, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Party. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 18:17, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Throw out existing content, supply definition, and Move to Wikipedia. The word is interesting etymologically, if I remember well &#8212; although not that interesting, else I'da remembered more than that! &#8212; Bill 22:32, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete and let someone else recreate. - Ta bu shi da yu 08:12, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, clean and edit for NPOV. I did some rewriting to clean it.  --L33tminion 01:10, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, or very possibly redirect to Shindig!, as soon as someone writes an article on the very popular '60s music show. Mike H 03:27, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
 * I wrote the article for Shindig! now so it's much more wise to redirect this. Mike H 03:38, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
