Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xtreme Ice Skating (2nd nomination)
first of all Dan, can you start signing your replies? I stand by my original claim to '''delete''' (I started the procedure). As for : lack of significant coverage, little reliability, sources do not provide deep coverage. In fact your "sport" is mentioned only in passing and based on your "updates." The source that provides the most coverage (ISKATE, July 2009, one-column) even admits that your tricks can be decomposed into basic figure skating moves and the flashy name is meant to attract people who would not "figure" skate on principle.  and  are clear of the 32 references, at least 26 are going to your website or YouTube channel. As for ignorance for the language used in ice skating, the tricks that you mention in the article are sequences of basic figure skating moves. The fact that you perform them on hockey skates does not warrant new names. Moreover, these are (again) usually sequences. If every sequence in figure skating had it's unique name we could write a whole specialized wiki. I will admit that some short sequences in figure skating do have widely known names but this is due to them being included in tests or because it is used in training a lot (8 Step Mohawk, Roll step, Walley step). For instance, you provided a link in this discussion to a "Eagle Footwork" in which: Eagle turn is a Mohawk turn or a small inside Spread eagle (figure skating) (small in the sense that it is not possible to maintain it for longer glides) depending on a skater's timing, Reverse Apolo Turn looks like a Mohawk turn with a hop, Moving Spin is a Mohawk turn+3 turn sequence, and T-Turn is Mohawk turn+Choctaw turn+cross step. I this article could be rewritten to talk about "Freestyle skating" (it would be a very unfortunate name, in my opinion, since it is also used in figure skating) is a also not clear to me since there is still no notability according to . The best one can do is to make a sub-section in Figure skating and/or Ice hockey, but it is not a discipline of it own, not yet
