The result was   Delete the fact that the word "funk-punk" has been used in one or two sources is not sufficient evidence to create an encyclopedic article on it. It is a close call but appears to boil down to one source. There does not appear to be a good policy based argument to keep. This article fails notability criteria.

Made up sub genre, according to this article this genre somehow started 2 years before punk rock started. Ridernyc (talk) 02:41, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Should be a speedy. Wiki libs (talk) 17:57, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep- There are multiple reliable sources that talk about this style. See these books: 101 albums that changed popular music, Funk Guitar and Bass: Know the Players, Play the Music, etc. RG (talk) 20:16, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * That second reference doesn't appear to contain the word "punk" . see below Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:24, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * If the second reference is "Funk Guitar and Bass", that appears to contain the word "punk" ten times and "punk-funk" at least once. Mandsford 14:02, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was being exceptionally dumb there - I blindly searched the web page without realising it was referring to a book that covers the subject. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:08, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per above. But these sources should be worked into the article, not just here. Tezero (talk) 02:48, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
