Music of Brantford

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article appears to be solely an extended personal essay based on original research. Although it's been around for over three years, its present references appear to be dead in-line external links and links to a historical architectural website that do not support what's being contended in the article. I'd suggest merging it into the main Brantford Ontario article; but because the material this article contains is completely unsupported, I'm unsure exactly what should be safely "merged".

Delete - although quite a bit of effort has gone into writing it, it does appear to be a reflective essay more suitable for a magazine rather than Wikipedia. Passages like "Bands from across the country would pack the bars with Brantford's more aggressive youth. Some of the more well known musicians, like Steve Goof(BFG's), Anus (Dirty Bird) Jimbo (Dayglo Abortions) have fond memories of playing in Brantford's seedy bars" seem to confirm this. Because most of the bands have no articles on Wikipedia, one can only assume that they're not particularly noteworthy. Bob talk 08:39, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. After an online search for references, I believe that the subject lacks verifiable notability established through significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Accordingly, it is my recommendation that the article should be deleted. Cindamuse (talk) 11:09, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete really reads like an article someone wrote for something else (perhaps a local zine?) and decided to stick it here instead. Unsourced and likely unsourcable, not to mention really POV ("great bands" etc.) Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  01:38, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
