[edit] Pagan rock
Another imaginary music genre, again with no bands whose articles describe themselves in this genre.—Wahoofive (talk) 05:55, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete -- slightly more substantive than other articles of its ilk, but still nothing provable. Haikupoet 04:21, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- keep -- all of Inkubus Sukkubus' albums. Inkubus Sukkubus' official biography states:
'In 1992 the band recorded the album Belladonna & Aconite which was released in October. By this time Incubus Succubus were being hailed as `Britain's Premier Pagan Rock band'.
Note capitalisation of Pagan rock. The term has a good deal of currency within the community and refers to a very distinctive genre of music. This is not another Pop metal --KharBevNor 13:58, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. The music of one band plus "a few others (sic) similar (and sometimes related) groups" does not a genre make. An unsourced quote (who hailed them as "Britain's Premier Pagan Rock band" ? ) from the band's website is not proof of the existence of a Music genre, captialized or not. 908 Google hits for "Pagan rock", and the only thing any of these artists seem to have in common is that they consider themselves pagans - there are very little or no musical similarities between the acts, so calling it a "music genre" is stretching the term to the breaking point. List of Pagan musicians might be appropriate, however. Soundguy99 16:35, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Well, someone's done up the page far more thoroughly, wonder why they didn't vote for keep on here? --KharBevNor 10:14, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- keep Christian_rock has an article. It's a somewhat similar idea Lyo 00:09, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
