A bunch of high school age kids who dance. Lots of words on the page, but that that one sentence sums the whole thing up. WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC are close to being relevant by analogy and this doesn't come even close. SchmuckyTheCat 07:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete While this article cites sources, a Google search for "Sam's Dance Troupe" comes up with nothing outside Wikipedia. [1].Capitalistroadster 08:42, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, non-notable vanity biography, unverifiable. Note that a couple articles now refer to this one (use Whatlinkshere). —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-02-28 09:00Z
Delete, per Cap & Quarl. Not a speedy. PJM 12:21, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

KeepThis is a valid article that I have investigated. --Bobjoe107 02:17, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, This page has been vandalized several times due to its homosexual themes, which may fuel the notion that this is a vanity page. However, the page's claims are verifiable and cited, and the group seems to be a significant and legitimate organization, at least in its respective community. -- Facepaint 11:36, February 29 2006 (UTC)

  - SchumckyTheCat's comment was perfectly fine. It is normal and useful to note which users are new in an AFD, since comments like these are likely to be from meat puppets or sock puppets. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-03-02 06:24Z
Keep, I may not have "Wikipedia street credibility", but I can personally testify to the legitimacy of this page. SDT has had a huge influence in our community as a source of cultural empowerment. It would be a crime to the gay community to remove this wealth of information. Edit it, abridge it, and criticize it, just don't delete it. Leroy Jenkins 02:42, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, come on people. Speedy delete as attack page. Try actually reading the article. Actually, on second thought, don't. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:26, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
oh for the love of god this CLEARLY fits Speedy Deletion guidelines. and fails both bio and music standards. Since none of the members of the group are notable enough to get an article... the group itself cannot be notable enough. nuke it all ready and get on with editing an ENCYCLOPEDIA.

Delete, possible speedy as {{nn-club}}. See also what Starblind wrote. Stifle 22:40, 3 March 2006 (UTC)\[reply]
Keep, There was an aticle about the founder Sam Ross but is was deleted. It meets WP:MUSIC standards. --SanjayRajputs 00:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
