Keep, but needs better references. Based on google searches it does seem that glowsticking is a genuine phenomena (tons of youtube videos, how-to guides, etc.), but reliable sources are hard to come by. I did find a brief mention in one source: "Toys and American Culture: An Encyclopedia" PohranicniStraze (talk) 02:09, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge any significant content to Glow stick - it doesn't make sense to have 2 separate articles: it's like having separate articles for hula hoop and hula-hooping (the latter actually redirects to the former). --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:18, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete then Redirect to Poi (performance art), where the concept is already covered. This page is entirely an extension of glowsticking.com and thus both promotional and entirely based on an unreliable source. Thus there's nothing to merge. The article strains to try to define itself as distinct from or inclusive of the various other terms that we already cover in other articles, a neologism that encompasses both juggling and poi with glowsticks, when we already have articles about those (and which are, individual much more notable than this umbrella neologism). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 03:24, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Poi (performance art)#Glow poi/glowstringing since due to the quantity and quality of sourcing it deserves inclusion but not a stand-alone article. Edison (talk) 19:42, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
