[edit] Rainstorm Rock

Rainstorm Rock (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This appears to be original research and a neologism. I can't find any reliable sources that discuss it. Heck a google search estimates about 74 pages with the term, the vast majority of which seem to be false positive. See [1] JoshuaZ 03:03, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Stroooong Delete Completely Unreferenced, found no viable sources after quite a few searches. -- Jimmi Hugh 03:12, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete nothing but original research and it looks like a hoax. "musical genre...that conjures up images in the listeners mind of a singer usually in a tight t-shirt standing in the middle of a country road in the rain with his arms out to his side, a la Crucifixion", um what?

  • Delete for reasons above and for several catchy acronyms, mainly WP:NOR, WP:V and a good dose of WP:CB. Mmmmmm. OBM | blah blah blah 09:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Though there's an article out there that refers to Coldplay as "kings of rainstorm rock," it never identifies the term, and I couldn't find any other reputable source. That seems to eliminate widespread usage, if nothing else. --Moonriddengirl 12:32, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak delete per above. Probably not ready yet for "prime time" notability. Few Ghits exist: [2], and many of those are blogs or WP mirrors. If deleted, do not salt, and wait for the term to catch on in another year. Bearian 17:08, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
