Rhumba → Ballroom rumba – Rhumba is archaic term. In my 50 years of dancing life in Europe and America I have never seen either international or american style called "rhumba" in competitions or professional publications - in all syllabi it is "rumba". --Altenmann >talk 21:21, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- Although your personal experience may suggest one spelling, your claim of "50 years of dancing" doesn't matter. On the internet, no one knows whether you're telling the truth about that. O.N.R. (talk) 23:53, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- I stated my motivation and not adding this info into a Wikipedia article. I am aware of WP:RS and internet dogs, thank you. --Altenmann >talk 00:31, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- Another motivation was plain false statement "Hence, authors prefer the Americanized spelling of the word (rhumba)" I fixed. --Altenmann >talk 00:34, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- Not to say that "Rhumba" in google books not at all applies to "ballroom rumba", e.g., " rhumba became the generic label for any Cuban-influenced composition , including sones , danzones , boleros", i.e., jsut the opposite what our article say. --Altenmann >talk 00:40, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- Disregarding disbelievers of my 50 years of dancing, the term "rhumba" was indeed applied to a fast-paced quickstep/mambo tempo that has nothing in common with modern ballroom rumba. You may probably want to recall (or revisit) Rhumba de burros from Strictly Ballroom. And in Cuba the music of (modern) ballroom rumba is rather "bolero" or "son" (or "bolero-son" for nitpickers:-) and which is rather remoted from Spanish bolero. --Altenmann >talk 00:58, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- Support per nomination. There are 19 inline cites listed at the bottom of the Rhumba entry, with little or no use of the spelling "rhumba". Furthermore, with the exception of this entry, all entries, including all other rumba dances, listed upon the extensive Rumba (disambiguation) page use the spelling "rumba". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 20:38, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- Support per nom and Roman Spinner. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:15, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Nobody calls it a rhumba. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:34, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
