Swing Dance Hall of Fame

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to verify or sustian article. Fails Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines and WP:NORG. I see no RS coverage outside of some blogs and a couple of local interest pieces mentioning that some person is an inductee - nothing that would come close to passing WP:ORGDEPTH. Also note that the establishing body, the World Swing Dance Council is also at AfD. See Articles for deletion/World Swing Dance Council J bh  Talk  13:34, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete All sources are primary, and so fails WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:20, 18 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:GNG. I can find no significant coverage that addresses the topic directly and indeed any reliable independent, secondary sources that mention it. Theroadislong (talk) 15:42, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

PROPOSE: if you google "world swing dance council" you'll see that they apparently have developed some "point system" used for competitions that is cited/used by many, many dance sites/dance competition websites...I think this alone might make the council itself notable...but perhaps the content of this article could be merged into that one??68.48.241.158 (talk) 17:12, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I just googled "world swing dance council" and found nothing on the first 4 pages about any point system, and it's not clear why this alone would confer any notability? Theroadislong (talk) 17:51, 18 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment If you mean the Universal Unit System, according to her article it was created by Skippy Blair. She is a founder of WSDC but according to url blacklisted she created it in 1978 a decade and a half before the formation of the WSDC.  J bh  Talk  17:54, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I really have no idea...they seem to have rules/guidelines that various dance events/competitions use in some manner...the sites for these events/competitions refer to the Council's rules/guidelines/point systems..68.48.241.158 (talk) 18:07, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Your comments may have some relevance to the World Swing Dance Council article but NOT this one which is about Swing Dance Hall of Fame? Theroadislong (talk) 19:21, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * right, but proposed merging this one into that article (but that will turn on whether the organization should have an article...if it should then it would be fine to list their hall of fame inductees etc there)...so it's like one in the same conversation going on over two different rfds...68.48.241.158 (talk) 19:27, 18 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete as still questionable for solid independent notability. SwisterTwister   talk  23:25, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
