Fails WP:GNG. I cannot find significant coverage of this topic when searching for sources. The only decent RS I found was [http://www.vice.com/read/a-new-documentary-alleges-that-the-idea-for-soap-shoes-was-stolen-from-some-teenage-pranksters-917 Vice], but one interview with someone about a non-notable documentary doesn't seem enough to be "significant coverage". Also found a few mentions of it (e.g., [https://books.google.com/books?id=q_TIbIzX7R4C&pg=PA174&lpg=PA174&dq=freestyle+walking&source=bl&ots=Rc1MKlt2hP&sig=ayXR9hLvwHOWe6WCm300ceSZxOI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjcmbrM8KvOAhVEJiYKHcRPAsIQ6AEIqwEwGw#v=onepage&q=freestyle%20walking&f=false], [http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/37/14/dtg-new-parkour-wont-fail-because-2014-04-04-bk_37_14.html], [http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/highschool-prep-rally/12-old-robbie-griffith-one-awesome-parkour-athlete-140000747.html]). Searches for sources suggest there's very little written on this topic.

The current article has no reliable sources (and tags for sources date back to 2008). I just removed a bunch of junk from the article and it's not much better.

I think deletion is best. Would be okay with a merge/redirect to parkour. EvergreenFir (talk) 03:57, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep The nomination lists a bunch of sources and concludes by suggesting merger. There are more sources to be found such as [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=lD5gUt3d7zoC&pg=PA120 Urban Physical Education] and AFD is not cleanup. Andrew D. (talk) 09:57, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

::The nomination lists one source and 3 places where it's mentioned in passing. I was trying to demonstrate WP:BEFORE. There's no significant coverage per WP:GNG. EvergreenFir (talk) 15:08, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

• Comment, instead of a standalone article, could a paragraph be added to Variants of walking? Coolabahapple (talk) 14:53, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

• Delete - Not enough reliable sources to describe it. Redirect to Parkour per RickInBaltimore below. I'm also concerned about the several accounts above with few or no other edits who turned up to support keep without offering good reasons. I hope the closing admin will keep that in mind.

• Merge or redirect to parkour. From reading the article, this in essence is parkour. Seeing as the article is not sourced, if the info in here can't be sourced, a redirect to parkour is fine, otherwise a mention may suffice. RickinBaltimore (talk) 20:57, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
• Merge or redirect - Ditto on RickinBaltimore's statement. The only RS I was able to find was the Vice interview mentioned by nominator, and even the interview subject admits that it sounds exactly like parkour. Lizzymartin (talk) 22:58, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
