[edit] Punk 'n' Roll

Punk 'n' Roll (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The article is all uncited opinion, otherwise known as original research. Spylab 23:56, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

• Keep – Though un-cited at the moment, it is a bona fide music genre. Let’s give the author a little time to improve. If he/she does not revisit the article, I was looking for a project to get involved with and will be more than happy to push it along.. Shoessss 00:24, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. There are already articles on glam punk and protopunk. These seems to be original research. I have not encountered this genre name before and have been unable to locate reliable sources indicating it is a valid or notable genre. Vassyana 04:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for the same reason listed by Vassyana. It doesn't seem to be a distinct genre with a clear definition. Google hits of the term show that it is not a widespread term, and it appears to be just another word to describe certain punk and protopunk acts. The article has had an Original Research tag since December 2006 and an Unreferenced tag since September 2006, so there has already been more than enough time to bring the article up to encyclopedic standards.Spylab 13:50, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Gentlemen/Ladies, just Google the genre, you’ll see more than enough references.Shoessss 16:31, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

• Comment It is not the reader's job to search google to verify information that appears in a Wikipedia article. If the (reliable) references exist, they should appear in the Wikipedia article already. There has been an Unreferenced tag on this article since September 2006, so there has already been more than enough time to add reliable references if they existed. Spylab 14:25, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete It's a descriptive term, not a genre. Closenplay 16:15, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
