None of the sources cited mention anything even closely resembling the article title (closest was probably "solo freestyle" in the "Brief History of Clog Dancing" link). A web search for several subsequences of the current title returned no results, "traditional informal folk" has apparently one real result on Google Scholar, but only relating to Tibetan culture. This seems to be original research or even a hoax, assuming the current title is correct. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 11:24, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. there's a long discussion on the article talk page about why this is notable, with which I agree, and to which I refer; but there does seem to be agreement thee that a differently worded title might be needed. Judging for deletion on the basis of a web search of a title is hazardous--it's a useful step to see quickly if are references, which might make it unnecessary to do a full properly conceived search for the subject no matter how expressed; however, searching for general subjects or ones which might be worded in many ways is difficult.

• Keep The topic is definitely notable, although this article is pretty bad, and the title is also unwieldly. Perhaps it would be better off as a list article linking to the types of dancing with a quick description of each? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:07, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and add to WP:DAWFT due to the unwieldly title and lack of sources. Even just skimming through lightly, I can see not nearly enough citations are there. Even though I know this is a bad idea to mention in an AfD, I would suggest WP:TNT. 4D4850 (talk) 17:54, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The article cites no reliable sources that verify the substance of its contents, making this fail WP:V and probably WP:NOR, never mind WP:N. If something like this really existed with this silly name, finding sources for it should be trivial. If this isn't a hoax or made up one day, it's hard to distinguish from that.

• Delete: Article is OR essay, I seriously doubt there is a notable article here, but if there is this needs TNT for it to emerge.  // Timothy :: talk  03:18, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
