So, it is almost unarguable that [[cascade (juggling)]] has no place in WP. This is the most basic juggling pattern, and a term that many are likely to know.

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.
