Anarchist folk rock

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails reliable sources and notability, narrow intersection (Folk rock that is anarchist must be a very small category) and trivial intersection (much more significant that they are folk rock than anarchist). Search of Google Books, has no entries. Google reveals only mirrors of article or the one the self description of the one band named. One band cannot be a genre. The article is trivial at best and may be an add. Sabrebd (talk) 16:17, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Even if this is an up and coming genre it has not yet reached the level of WP:Notable. Steve Dufour (talk) 17:51, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete - There do seem to be quite a few bands who call themselves 'anarchist folk rock' but none of them seem particularly notable. Having said that, the 'punk cabaret' movement has its own article and the only band who really qualify as notable on it are the Dresden Dolls.

 * Comment: Yeh....Syd Barrett isn't notable? One of the founding members of Pink Floyd? And you really ought to read the article, it not only has links to that fact, but explains that the 'Anarchist' of the title does not refer to political themes in the music, but to the instrumentation and arrangements of the music. So in the end I agree with the nominator, but only because he was wrong twice: it is less notable that they are anarchist than that they are folk. Anarchangel (talk) 03:32, 25 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Clarification: Barrett is significant, but there is no evidence he was in this genre, that is why I referred to only one band, it was my error to assume that it was self evident. BTW I read it: didn't take long.--Sabrebd (talk) 22:30, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
