Aussie Smooth[edit]

Non-notable dance. Web and news searches only find peripheral mention of the dance in connection with "Dancing with the Stars". An article with the same name has previously been deleted as the result of an expired PROD, so this time it goes to AfD. Favonian (talk) 13:23, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No indication that this dance is notable nor even that the definition given in the article is acurate. --Griseum (talk) 13:45, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete. It might warrant a brief mention in Dancing with the Stars but no more. Capitalistroadster (talk) 03:15, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now. While it has gained some significant media attention as a term, the style itself does not appear to be recognised by - as I would argue is most relevant - any dance association in Australia: see "smooth" + "Australian Dance Council", "smooth" +"Australian Dancing Society", and "smooth" + "DanceSport Australia". Deserves mention in Dancing with the Stars (Australian TV series), as it is a recent term but with wide currency, and it may well be accepted as a dance style. --Shirt58 (talk) 09:32, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
