Passive stretching[edit]

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

This is a series of three articles (Passive stretching, Dynamic stretching, Ballistic stretching). All three suffer from the same problems; lack of WP:Reliable sources, with a good dose of WP:NOTHOWTO and WP:OR. Of the three, only Dynamic stretching has any sources at all, but all five sources are basically blogs or web sites which I would't judge to meet WP:RS.

Possibly all three could be combined into a single article, or merged into an existing one such as Stretching, but such a merge needs to be done by somebody who is both a subject matter expert, and understands our sourcing criteria. Looking over this article histories, it seems various people have taken stabs at fixing them up over many years, but without much success. Maybe redirecting all three to Stretching would be the best alternative. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:34, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages (see above for details):

I also found

These latter two articles, share similar aspects of WP:NOTHOWTO and WP:OR. On the other hand, they at least they have some plausible-looking references, so the case for deletion is not as strong for them. It may make sense to include them in one multi-way merge into a single article. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:36, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect all to stretching, they may be plausible as redirects but they add essentially nothing to the encyclopedia as nom says. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:26, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect all sounds reasonable. Dloh cierekim 01:31, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
