The result was Keep. Due to the sourcing concern and the argument that multiple appropriate sources are available, I will add Template:Onesource to the article while removing the AFD template. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 15:35, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Foxcore

Delete- A rarely used term that is clearly not noteworthy, it seems to be a not often used synonym of riot grrrl. Hoponpop69 19:19, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. Rarely used today, but all over the place in the early 90s. It's distinguished from riot grrl, too. Plenty of reputable sources for an article (albeit slim, this was a brief press-directed movement) from Google Books and a few more from Google News Archive. --Dhartung | Talk 20:42, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  • How about providing some sources, of when it was used "all over the place" in the 1990's?

  • Keep per Dhartung. Google News finds a number of significant media mentions ([1]). bikeable (talk) 01:56, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
  • What distinguishes this from riotgrrrl then?

  • Keep Foxcore described Riot grrl bands from California in the early nineties. ' "Foxcore" was a brief fad propelled by West Coast all-girl punk bands such as Hole, Babes In Toyland, L7 and Seven Year Bitch.' [2]. It's definitely a term which was used at the time.

  • Might I suggest a redirect to riot grrl then.
