[Untitled]

I agree - as the author of Burlesque and the New Bump-n-Grind, I would argue that Neo-burlesque and New Burlesque are two names for the same subject. -67.162.134.75 00:53, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely, the two are one and the same. -24.193.162.128 14:48, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quoth the Raven, "Duh."

--No question about it; it's just a matter of finding someone with the time do do it. (I've edited many pages, but am not sure how to do a merge.) I'll look into it. Incidentally, we need to remember what Wikpedia standards are for Notability. Many/most of the performers listed on this page do not meet this requirement, which is (in part) "has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject of each other."

Support - I support the merger, since as other users have noted that it is the same topic, different slang for the subject matter. -Signaleer 13:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

If some third-party (read: not a Burlesque performer or producer) has the time to review the page for Notability, that would be great -- the article loses substance when the "Notable Performers" is a laundry list of everyone who knows how to use Wikipedia.

Typo?

In the striptease section, should it be 'panties' they strip down to, rather than 'pasties'? My first thought was that it was a typo, but the last burlesque performer I saw did something rather interesting with a cream cake, so maybe it's meant to be that.

lol
I just checked and there is an article about it, so its not a typo. I added a link to clarify.--CoJaBo 01:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's no typo... "pasties" are the decorative swatches that cover a burlesque performer's nipples and areolas. They were jettisoned back into the radar of popular culture when rapper Lil' Kim decided to don one as a part of her outfit for the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards. 129.119.187.242 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 03:10, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Art section

The art section appears to be an advertisement and is written in a first-person narrative and should be removed.

Agreed - but why didn't you remove it yourself? I have done so. 76.218.69.148 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:53, 5 July 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Burlesque scenes section

This section is becoming an unsourced list of examples. Someone want to try to find some sources and rewrite it so it's not WP:NOTADVERTISING? --Ronz (talk) 02:38, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and trimmed it back so it's not such a magnet for advertising. Of the two sources, I don't think the reader poll should be used, but the article looks useful:

"Real Women Do Burlesque". Boston Phoenix. February 17, 2007. Retrieved 17 February 2007.

--Ronz (talk) 03:42, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What would a good creditable source be? News items? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeneditors (talk • contribs) 03:45, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The one above isn't very good. It has a few paragraphs with general information, a few more specific to Boston, and the rest just details Boston troupes and performers. It's local interest piece with some useful information to introduce the subject matter. Because it's focused on the Boston area, it gives us no information on whether or not their troupes, performers, etc are notable enough for mention in this article - it's biased to the local venues. --Ronz (talk) 06:32, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Boylesque

"Boylesque" redirects here but is not actually mentioned on the page. 12.162.122.6 (talk) 16:55, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
