Article is unsourced, and I can not find any reliable sources documenting this. ♪Tempo di Valse ♪ 20:10, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

  • If anything, it should be moved to point break (surfing), which is what this really is. See wikt:point break for a definition. I'm undecided as to whether this can be more than a WP:DICDEF or not. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  01:29, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete it. The Ogre (talk) 13:49, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep - and move as LinguistAtLarge suggests above. There are plenty of reliable sources available, for example: [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=kv7zN1PMswUC&pg=PT90&dq=%22point+break%22+surfing&as_brr=3&client=firefox-a 1] [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=OKO62j7fXjQC&pg=PA55&dq=%22point+break%22+surfing&lr=&as_brr=3&client=firefox-a 2] [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=U4nNpMFjXsEC&pg=PA114&dq=%22point+break%22+surfing&lr=&as_brr=3&client=firefox-a 3] [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=TFA762PqaUcC&pg=PA52&dq=%22point+break%22+surfing&lr=&as_brr=3&client=firefox-a#PPA52,M1 4] (you just have to wade through loads of sources about the film). Article does need re-writing but it seems to be a widely used, notable term in surfing which can be expanded to more than a WP:DICDEF. ascidian | talk-to-me 17:36, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep (since I didn't explicitly say that above) - I just moved the article to Surf break, and rewrote it from scratch with sources. There are dozens more sources to be had for "surf break", "point break", "reef break" etc. Essentially, this is no longer the same article that was nominated. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  21:05, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
