Talk:Skweee

I thought it'd be more interesting to link to Swedish music rather than Norwegian, since that's what the article mentions. 213.132.125.46 — Preceding undated comment added 21:29, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * As I initialized and wrote most of this article i felt obliged to add some references. Not much, besides this article - Actually this article seems to be the main source of primary information for other media covering the subject.

I expanded and edited the orginal article considerably, adding sections on skweee's history, pioneers, international growth, recognition, important recordings, sound characteristics and more.

The notability critique was indeed addressed -- I cited skweee's coverage in Spin magazine, the world's second largest music magazine as well as skweee's international expansion, both in terms of record labels and in terms of world-wide performances at important events. I also cited the two original skweee record label's total releaases -- an impressive twenty-two.

WRT to myspace links, firstly, a distinction must be made between myspace and myspace music. The links in my article all pointed to the latter. While myspace is simply a social network with many pre-teen members who "collect friends", myspace music is an important technology for producers, musicians and DJs to publish their performance schedule, preview their recordings, and network with other musicians for gigs, remixes, etc. All of the existing skweee record labels use their myspace pages as the homepage for their labels. And by providing myspace links for pioneering producers in the skweee scene, wiki readers have the opportunity to hear up-to-date recordings by these producers, giving them a real understanding of their import to the skweee genre.

The new article is a considerable expansion and improvement on the original, brief and highly outdated piece. If there are critiques of the new article please post those, but please do not revert back to the old article.

 * You have done no such thing. Notability has not been addressed... you mention Spin, but where is the sourcing? Myspace links in the body of articles are not acceptable at any stage... you're making the page look like an advert. There is no distinction whatsoever between Myspace and Myspace Music; if that's the band's only website that's a fairly good indication that it isn't notable. You preferably need substantial coverage in third-party, commercially published print sources to establish notability. Spin will be a start if you actually source it properly. Don't remove tags without addressing the issues properly, don't remove categories... that's vandalism, plain and simple, without justification. Finally, "an impressive twenty-two releases"? Seriously? Blackmetalbaz (talk) 14:43, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * In the interests of genuinely trying to be helpful, I'm looking at the Spin website. A search for "skweee" reveals nothing; there's no mention on the page for April 2009. Google Books, News and Scholar similarly turn up nothing. If sources aren't produced (that don't include Myspace links) this may well be an AfD candidate.

 * Blackmetalbaz is 100% correct. Skweee = lo-fi electronica. NOT a new genre. Please people. Use your brains. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.185.130.13 (talk) 07:11, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * well, then: Skweee = a genre of lo-fi electronica — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.232.228.210 (talk) 10:46, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * say what? chiptunes are lo-fi electronica. You could make a skweee album using James Brown samples and a Casio keyboard from 2007. I would simply say it's underground. And to Fashoom, not every single skweee record label uses Myspace as their homepage... are you sure you didn't post that in 2005? AfD or not, skweee doesn't need a Wikipedia article to be recognized as a fun, legitimate genre by its legions of european fans. Just wait until it gets big in the US and UK, and you'll have lots o kiddies spamming this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.251.224.75 (talk) 22:10, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Malicious link
The first link in the recognition section must have moved/been deleted, and now redirects to a shady looking site. 73.250.3.159 (talk) 01:44, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
