Circus Photography[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Inadequately sourced article about an non-notable type of photography, the purpose of which seems to be to promote some of its practitioners. Fails WP:GNG.- Mr X 14:12, 7 July 2014 (UTC) - Mr X 14:12, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete The article is horribly sourced and it promotional. I can find sources about people who shoot the circus. I can find sites of circus photos. I can't find anything about 'Circus Photography. I can see where this might be a genre of photography, but only with some better refs. Bgwhite (talk) 07:32, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Not a notable topic. Skills are no different to a wide variety of indoor photography tasks, which suggests it's not sufficiently distinctive a topic to deserve coverage even if there were more sources (and you can find articles on photographing rock concerts, children's musical performances, other stage performances, children playing, etc, but it's all a bit WP:NOTHOWTO in any case.) --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:37, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG. I also have no idea what it is saying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EMachine03 (talk • contribs) 11:45, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
