 * Delete South African rock music is a fascinating subject, since it combines European/American and African traditions into a unique sound (Johnny Clegg was a favourite of mine). There is also the backstory history of apartheid-era censorship of what could be played. If I can introduce an off-wiki link to bring interested parties up to speed on the subject, I would highly recommend this comprehensive web site on the past half-century in springbok rock: . As for this article, it misses the WP:MUSIC boat. Ecoleetage (talk) 15:37, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete I know i created this article, but I sort of agree its not up to standard. I think this article should be deleted. I'm going to be spending some time doing proper research, and I'll find reliable sources (I'll check out that site recommended by Ecoleetage). After that, I'll redo the entire article and do a better job this time. If anyone can give suggestions, that would be welcome.--E2e (talk) 16:26, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
