Trombone suicide
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

Tagged for WP:V and WP:OR for 8 years. My own searching finds lots of YouTube videos, but this is the only thing I could find that comes close to being a WP:RS, and it's questionable whether that meets either WP:SECONDARY or WP:SIGCOV. I also found this, but that's a blog post which clearly fails WP:RS. I also tried looking for "headchoppers", with equally poor results. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:36, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Most of the sources seem to come from a forum. Wah-wah.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 14:26, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete A problematic article and AfD nomination. I, too, feel like it's a topic probably deserving of a wiki entry...but per our guidelines it has to meet the RS test. As noted, there are plenty of mentions to be found online--forums, comments on videos, etc--but these are not RS. A mention of it in a single book is not enough, nor is an acknowledgement of its existence in a local paper. The bigger reason that argues for its deletion, however, is in the first AfD debate where the entry's creator essentially reveals this article is original research, conducted without consulting existing sources, but rather, that such sources will someday be written and thereby justify this wiki article. That's not the way its done. ShelbyMarion (talk) 14:42, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as there is a lack of sources and proper verifyablility. Though, it does appear to be a thing per the youtube videos, it might just be a colloquial phrase? I would love to see some individuals with some experience with marching band weigh in here; they might be abel to find proper sources or could in some way verify its validity. -- Tautomers (T C) 19:11, 3 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete: coverage is weak and reliable sources not found. TheDreamBoat (talk) 04:11, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
