The result of this discussion was no merge. Paul Vaurie (talk) 23:20, 17 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

I propose merging The Bouncy into The Poznań. The sporting celebrations are similar, and The Bouncy is somewhat an "alternative" or variation" of The Poznań, and can have its own section in there. However, I do not think that The Bouncy is independently notable. Paul Vaurie (talk) 02:41, 15 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Oppose: The two are completely different concepts. One is done jumping up and down on the spot, the other is linking arms turning their back and jumping. Indeed the Poznan article clearly states its similar to "the huddle", and there's no comparison between the two. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 05:39, 15 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oppose per C of E. Giant Snowman 09:31, 15 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oppose: Although both are sporting celebrations and involve jumping, there are enough differences between them to warrant separate articles for each. Mcvti (talk)

Can anyone provide a link to the archive for the article where Gary Mcnee links “the bouncy” to the murder of Robert Hamill. 2A00:23C6:B682:F301:C98B:96EA:FC39:9159 (talk) 00:44, 1 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
