• Deleting this article is the best solution for those problems. Drmies (talk) 20:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Magic (illusion) (which already has a small section on it). I was able to add one academic source, but it was a brief mention (a definition) and not significant coverage. Checked ProQuest, Project Muse, JSTOR, Google Scholar, and Google Books. It obviously exists as a niche thing but stand-alone notability is lacking. Schazjmd (talk) 20:59, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • User:Schazjmd, thank you--a merger of that content and a redirect would be fine with me. Drmies (talk) 02:02, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've copied the few good sources to that section of Magic (illusion), so that it would be good to go if we end up with merge/redirect. (They're still useful there even if this article is unexpectedly kept.) Schazjmd (talk) 01:08, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into Magic (illusion). If there are any useful sources, let's add them to the Magic (illusion) article, whose brief section on Bizarre Magic is unreferenced. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:18, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Magic (illusion): Fails GNG. --Guy Macon (talk) 04:49, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Magic (illusion): it's a reasonable search term with a tangible target, so deletion is unnecessary per policy. ——Serial 11:16, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Magic (illusion), and Protect the redirect as has been subject to very problematic behaviour for a long time. DuncanHill (talk) 01:17, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Magic (illusion) Fails GNG. Sonofstar (talk) 18:59, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
