Synthpop revival

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to have completely made up and the product of original research. The creator of this page has also created unverified pages like New wave revival (now a redirect). The only things cited in this page include links to social music site tags that have nothing to do with this article's topic WesleyDodds (talk) 09:19, 17 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The problem is, synthpop is NOT post-punk. There is a distinct difference between "post-punk revival" guitar bands and synthpop revival bands.


 * If there hasn't been much research, it's because few people have cared to write about it, but synthpop and 80s music revival does exist and it is very big and real. —Preceding unsigned comment added by User:OregonD00d (talk • contribs) 09:40, 17 December 2008


 * Delete: Unfortunately the criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia is "verifiability, not truth" as per the verifiability policy. Recreate when and if sources that meet the reliable sources guidelines decide to write about it. --JD554 (talk) 09:56, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge with Synthpop, which needs more on recent trends. Comparisons in the article to other genres are not grounds for deletion, it just needs a cleanup. Totnesmartin (talk) 11:59, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * There's nothing to merge, since the article is the result of original research. WesleyDodds (talk) 03:52, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete: very little useful information to merge, WP:OR. JamesBurns (talk) 00:59, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Synthpop, as there's nothing here which has a source, but it is a plausible section of Synthpop. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 22:19, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
