[edit] Scum punk

Dubious whether this can really be classified as a subgenre of punk rock. It more or less seems to sum up the practices of G.G. Allin but I can't find any valid sources for this "genre". Punkmorten 20:48, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

• DELETE Stupid article --Aspensti 20:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Neutral - Granted, only 270 unique Ghits; not huge, but this isn't incredibly small for unique hits on subgenres. It appears to be familiar enough to its purveyors and fans to be a legit subgenre, but not too well-known outside of that group. The only reason other WP pages point to it is because it's included in the {{punk}} template. I'll admit I've heard the term before, so I came here expecting to be this article's defender, but I've switched positions on this a few times while writing this comment out, so I'm staying neutral for now. -- H·G (^words/_works) 01:33, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect (vote change) into Punk subculture. That article mentions it briefly, but that subsection could use more elaboration. It'd be the only subgenre there not to have its own page, but I really don't think it's notable enough to merit its own article. (Some of the other subgenres on that page aren't, either; maybe they should come down as well.) -- H·G (^words/_works) 18:30, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The punk subculture article is running the risk of being way too long. Having all the information related to scum punk in the punk subculture article would put way too much emphasis on this very minor style. I would rather the information on scum punk there be put into the scum punk article, and only a couple of sentences about it and a link in the punk subculture article, in order to balance due emphasis and maintain reasonable size. That is, if we decide to keep any scum punk information at all, of course. Ecto 18:49, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. WesleyDodds 10:58, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I've seen it mentioned before in zines and such not to mention I've heard others mention it before ever knowing of this article. Real subgenre, though just not known well because of it's small and underground following. Gold Stur 00:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Do you think you could please dig up some sources? I am not at all framiliar with scum punk, so I do not think I could find any off hand. Ecto 18:49, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Undecided. Ecto 18:49, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
