Mostly original research based with a couple of citation for two obscure facts from dubious sources. The second article has no references whatsoever. Also redundant to Corpsing and Breaking character as far as theater/film are concerned, which are better referenced. Pcap ping 17:21, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both as dictionary definition. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 17:24, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Both, violating WP:NOT a dictionary and neither cite reliable sources. In fact, as mentioned, the second one has zero sources. --BaronVonYiffington (talk) 17:37, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOT. Dictionary definition. WesleyDodds (talk) 05:05, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Corpsing and Breaking character. This is a referenced article, and a legitimate term. Merge sections can be improved. Okip 12:34, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, but request no prejudice against recreation. The topic of IC/OOC dichotomy as applied to roleplaying games is potentially encyclopedic, even if the current articles are largely redundant with breaking character. Powers ^T 13:06, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
'Keep Legitimate terms used for a great deal more than just theatre. Work case, Merge to breaking character and expand to cover the additional media that these articles do. Edward321 (talk) 23:38, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, redirects to breaking character would make sense here. pablo_hablo. 10:38, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
