Sting (musical phrase)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

There has been no reference stated since October 2006. The page is unreliable.  JC  Talk to me My contributions 20:42, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment This is a term that I have heard used in the past. See this Glossary of Media terms from the BBC. I see two other options beside delete. One is to merge to Jingle. However, I'm not sure on the distinction between the term Sting and Jingle.  The other is that the article as it stands is a dictionary definition. Pit-yacker (talk) 23:32, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Reply, so you are inquiring that the page be deleted? Because it does, however, meet WP:DICTIONARY. -- JC  Talk to me My contributions 00:01, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure at this stage. It is a term used in broadcasting and definitely belongs at somewhere such as here. However, it’s not currently an encyclopedia article and I'm not sure it could ever really be expanded very far. Pit-yacker (talk) 00:15, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep I think this article should be kept, but totally revamped. Made easier to understand, common usage, instruments used, and types, along with a sound clip or two. I would do it but don't know much on the subject. Will anyone step up?    Guyinasuit5517 (talk) 05:48, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
