Inline roller skating tricks[edit]

No references; therefore not verifiable. Notability of the topic is not established, and the article's present format is listcruft. KurtRaschke (talk) 00:14, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - it really needs sources. - Richard Cavell (talk) 01:06, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, where to start. Well WP:V is certainly the most basic, and it fails that by not having any reliable, independent third party sources. By doing so it also violates WP:OR; the article has oodles of information, but none cited. It's also WP:LISTCRUFT, the tricks are presented in a highly trivial list format. It's a indiscriminate collection of tricks, one that could not be maintained as there are likely many more than that. It's also a prime example that wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, or a how-to-guide. Whew, hope that was pretty insightful and thoughtful analysis.

Thanks for your insightful and thoughtful analysis. Now I know that wikipedia discuss what kind of tricks inline skaters perform, because that would be a how-to guide and a list. That's probably why the article on parallel bars is so disappointing too. Juzhong (talk) 05:33, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Original research, and a how to guide. — neuro^(talk) 06:01, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's just a laundry-list of bullet points with no notability whatsoever, nor are there cites. Definetely agree with Neuro above that it's original research. Nja247 (talk • contribs) 07:04, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:NOT a how to guide or a repository for poor, original researched drivel. JBsupreme (talk)
Delete. WP:OR. Notability is not a problem. Inline skating tricks are notable, it's the way this article is set up. - Mgm|^(talk) 13:28, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
