[edit] Cock rock

What a load of WP:BALLS, no pun intended. If it were sourced, it would still be a neologism. Brian G. Crawford 00:44, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep old term, needs references however. —porges(talk) 00:53, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment google the phrase and see. —porges(talk) 00:54, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Come on already, Brian. Seriously. Among other things, highly well known slang term for a style of rock music, well-known enough to become an album title for the band Diesel Boy, makes at least 6 listings in the current Google News listing for the last 7 days. Extremely bad nomination, and WP:BALLS isn't a damn thing. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 01:03, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Change vote to speedy strong super keep +10, I can cite OED on this ;) —porges(talk) 01:02, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
cock rock slang, rock music, esp. heavy metal, characterized by the ostentatious male sexuality of its lyrics and performance; so cock rocker.
 
1971 M. SAUNDERS in Creem May 74/2 As much as I hate heavy music—*cock rock, macho rock, or whatever the current name for it is—I have to
admit to having every Blue Cheer album ever made. 2003 Kitchen Sink Winter 19/1 [Led Zeppelin] truly were the creators of ‘cock rock’, in the
hyper-masculine sexuality of their sound, their songs and in the presentation of their actual packages, which were often practically visible
through their tight-ass bell bottoms. 1977 Creem July 50/3 I can't help but wonder if part of their popularity is due to the fact that they're
the last of an era of *cock rockers who play dirty and, if you'll excuse the expression, ‘chauvinistic’ rock 'n' roll. 2002 Independent on Sunday
10 Feb. 3/1 It's big enough to mean that..student bands don't play there and small enough to deter cock-rockers on the enormo-barn circuit.
  • Yeah, that's a dictionary definition. How is this an encyclopedia article? Brian G. Crawford 01:17, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • It has potential for quite a bit more expansion: examples of songs, tracing the history (and demise/rebirth if such exists as the current article seems to support) of the 'genre', origins of the term if we can find it. —porges(talk) 01:30, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • You claimed that even if it were sourced, it would be a neologism. Clearly this shows otherwise. Darquis 02:10, 30 April 2006 (UTC)Darquis
  • Keep - notable genre and cultural phenomenon, more than a dicdef already with plenty of room for expansion. dbtfztalk 01:51, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep - weak, because I wonder whether this couldn't be merged into another article. Metamagician3000 02:03, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Not a neologism, and no Wiki Policy was brought forward as a reason for deletion (not to mention that WP:BALLS isn't even appropriate here) Darquis 02:10, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - it's actually a widely used term, though the article could be cleaned up. - Richardcavell 02:19, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup, more than a dicdef. --Terence Ong 06:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, article looks plausible, "cock rock" gets 611 thousand Google hits. JIP | Talk 08:09, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Oh, please. Per Dbtfz. Danny Lilithborne 10:46, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, existing article is well beyond dictionary definition, so using a dicdef as a cite is fine. Widely used term. Kuru talk 15:39, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • keep' please and balls is not appropriate here really Yuckfoo 17:01, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. A notable term that is not a neolgism. — TheKMantalk 21:43, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, certainly not a neologism. And we certainly have tons of pages on minor musical genres --Deville (Talk) 02:38, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Not a neologism by any stretch. --Stlemur 11:45, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, the article heavily needs references though. -- ReyBrujo 17:48, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as a notable term. WP:BALLS does not apply here. 8-) Can't sleep, clown will eat me 19:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
