I dont know the history of this article. And I dont care. I wanted to know more about nia before practicing it and I saw, there is no adequate info in my usual source of information. I could add, what I saw, independent references are scarce, therefore I added the one part - business model - which I suppose no one knows at the start with nia and there is no interpretation. I'd like to kind of complete the article but would be even more interested in a comparison of different fitness disciplines like we have it on software tools. Actually I'm looking into Zumba. There the business model I didnt unerstand yet. --[[User:Rolerus|Rolerus]] ([[User talk:Rolerus|talk]]) 09:53, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Simply, we have no secondary sources. We have not met WP:N. The only source is WP:SELFPUB. The two external links should be intergrated as sources and the article should be written from them with a careful eye to WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. --Ronz (talk) 15:04, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Given the promotional nature of the article and the lack of references, I have removed the additional link to nianow.com per WP:EL, WP:SPAM, and WP:NOT#LINK. --Ronz (talk) 15:09, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is almost borderline about whether the article should remain or be deleted, although it does appear to be offered in a number of cities--Vannin (talk) 16:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There are sources for this [1] [2] [3] although unfortunately a lot of the news ones are pay-to-view. Sticky Parkin 01:37, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a movement form which is practiced in a variety of places. I learned about it in More magazine and have participated in different studios in Austin and San Antonio. I am not a Wikipedia editor and have no idea how to improve this article to meet your editing guidelines because it seems that Wikipedia has a complicated set of rules, but if the idea is to find articles about the subject in publications that are not related to the subject, I can do so.

It's been over three years, and we've one independent source that borders on a puff-piece. If no one is interested in doing the work to make this even resemble something encyclopedic, let's trim it down to a stub to address so it doesn't look like an advertisement. --Ronz (talk) 15:43, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
