And to take one final leap, how about [[Seven Ball Marden's Mayem]],
[[Turbo Wally Walk]], [[Mountain Tennis]] or even [[Hermine
(juggling)]]? I haven't heard of any of these, I found them on
jugglewiki. The last one has possibly never been attempted by anyone
other than its inventor, yet is documented thoroughly with video
footage.
I would drop them all into an article on juggling tricks/juggling
moves. Perhaps a seperate one for cascades. Without reading them, I
think the articles on most moves are too small to warrant their own
article. Drop them together in a larger article and redirect the
existing names to the new article/list.
I wouldn't, but I suspect this comes down to the mergist / "divisionist"
(just coined that) philosophical difference. The way I see it, Wiki is
hypertext, and I see no reason to defeat the purpose of hypertext by
lumping independent topics into a single monolithic article.
I any case, I also see no reason not to include most of those -- at
least the ones that are documented in independent secondary sources and
can be considered established. Having those articles does not interfere
with the rest of Wikipedia, and, given their fairly neutral subject
matter, should not present significant maintainability issues.
As for things like [[Hermine (juggling)]], that could fall foul of our
original research and verfiability policies if there are no secondary
sources to confirm the claims of the inventor. If included, it should
at least be worded carefully.
