Dubious music genre article. Coin945 (talk) 13:10, 25 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep Dubious nomination which doesn't offer a scrap of evidence or the vaguest of waves at policy. Here's an accessible paper which discusses the topic in detail. Andrew D. (talk) 13:24, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: Did the nominator attempt a WP:BEFORE check on this? For example use of Google Books? Gatling gun multiple nominations in a single minute suggest not, and just leave mess for others to follow-up. AllyD (talk) 13:26, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Thank you for engaging in this discussion. The article was created in 2004 and after 9 years has merely one citation... and that could hardly be called adequate sourcing. Wikipedia's coverage of music genres has been bad for a very long time (with many-a-bad article; I have even found a few that seem to have been created just to advertise a certain band that claimed to create a certain genre), and in this instance a keep may be justified, but it is a case by case basis. I am very glad that we have found sources to justify this particular article's retention on Wikipedia and hope to see the sources put to good use, rather than just bringing them out to save the article then leaving it in its current state for another 9 years...--Coin945 (talk) 13:47, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
