Contested prod. Non-notable "style" of music. Ridernyc (talk) 09:23, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

The following was added to the debate by the article creator who also blanked most of the page when adding this so I now have to try to restore everything.:

""Pirate Music" created by the Sprague Brothers in 1990 and debuted at the Palomino Club in North Hollywood, California in 1990. Also on the bill that night was Strawberry Alarm Clock. The debut concert was heralded by KROQ and received rave reviews. The style is an all-new instrumental style of rock'n'roll and should not be confused with Surf Music. Many new and innovative techniques were developed for the playing of "Pirate Music" by World renowned guitarist Frank Lee Sprague, leader of the Sprague Brothers. The Sprague Brothers also wrote a novel to accompany their new style of rock'n'roll with the same name "Pirate Music". Over 25 full length albums of songs in the "Pirate Music" style exist by the Sprague Brothers and they continue to write and perform this innovative new style of music. They appeared on the TV show "Art Fein's Poker Party" throughout the '90's performing the new rock'n'roll style, and there is a website dedicated to the history of their new style of music: The songs titles are based on actual events in the Golden Age of Piracy, and they are program-music so each piece reflects the story behind each title."


 * Are you actually going to put out a reason to delete the article, or do you just not like it? Ω (talk) 10:34, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Non-notable would be the reason as stated in the argument presented. Mind explaining why you keep showing up in AFD makeing strange accusations? Ridernyc (talk) 10:54, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect to music piracy Copyright infringement (to avoid a double redirect). I can't find any evidence that this style of music is notable, but the title is a plausible search term. Thryduulf (talk) 12:19, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Redirect per Thryduulf though it's not a very plausible search term--I could live with a delete just as easily. The "style of music" is entirely non-notable. Drmies (talk) 05:36, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
