Seapunk

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A neologism that doesn't seem to have wide currency. No reliable sources to show this is a widespread term. Prod was contested, so bringing here for discussion. Sparthorse (talk) 06:01, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Man i just started doing this and i have no idea how to do citations. This might not be a widespread term in your everyday use, but it is in mine and my community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dinospartan117 (talk • contribs)

 * Delete or userfy. This is a very, very recently coined term and as such, doesn't have anything that would be considered a reliable source. In response to Dinospartan117, a term, person, place, or item might be considered notable within a group of people, but that doesn't automatically mean it's notable enough to go onto Wikipedia. What's needed to prove notability are reliable sources. (See WP:RS for what's considered a reliable source.) Unfortunately I didn't find that when I did a search on this term. I found some blogs, youtube videos, and sources that would be considered trivial at best, but I didn't find anything reliable. A reliable source would be if Rolling Stone did an article on seapunk or if it was covered in a news article. That said, I think that it might be worth userfying (WP:USERFY) until Dinospartan117 can find enough reliable sources to flesh the term out.
