Driving song

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Neither a genre nor a style. While some sources use the term, there's no source that defines it, making most of the article original research. Six words (talk) 16:16, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. The truck driving song certainly seems to be a recognised genre. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:39, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep There's also compilation CDs on the theme, eg, . This is a sufficiently established term (even a genre) to support an encyclopaedic artice. RichardOSmith (talk) 18:03, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I would also support Merge, per the discussion between Warden and Six words below. RichardOSmith (talk) 12:12, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. As RichardOSmith mentions above, "driving song" is certainly a recognized term, and there are some famous examples (mostly already given in the article). However, as Six words also points out, there are no sources that actually adequately define, analyze or discuss this topic in a way that would be appropriate for an article. If someone makes a compilation of music and calls it driving music, then that is certainly their opinion, but it's not enough. To address Phil Bridger's comment, I agree that truck-driving music has more standing, but that's not what this article is about&mdash; none of the examples given in the article could remotely be called truck-driving music.

 * Keep There are sources which discuss this in detail, e.g. Rockin' Down the Highway. Warden (talk) 21:56, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Looking at the blurb and the first few pages this source seems to be about Car songs - according to the Driving song article that's something different. --Six words (talk) 09:32, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It contains material about music which one might play while driving. The topics are closely related and it would make sense to treat them together, as this source does.  Warden (talk) 11:01, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That sounds reasonable. --Six words (talk) 11:46, 30 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge with Car song (maybe with a different title). --Six words (talk) 11:46, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
