[edit] St. Louis Twang Scene

St. Louis Twang Scene (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

While the term "twang scene" can be found, and some references to it located without much difficulty, there is no indication that St Louis's is particularly notable, and the primary contributor to the article appears unable or unwilling to provide citations to establish that it is (simply repeatedly removing the {{notability}} tag without addressing it). — Coren (talk) 15:01, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

  • I disagree...St. Louis is one of the nation's strongest alternative country scenes, and among the originators of the style through bands like Uncle Tupelo and the Bottle Rockets. They helped give birth to No Depression Magazine, Bloodshot Records in Chicago, and Undertow Records. They also host one of the lagest alt-country showcases in the world, Twang Fest. St. Louis is still producing popular musicians in a thriving scene that attracts regional peers on a regular basis, and many of the bands are helping lead the charge for modern alt-country music. St. Louis warrants this article moreso than many cities and music scenes in the world today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randy pf (talk • contribs) 15:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The movement itself might (just) be notable, but the the St Louis one is not notable. St Louis is hardly a world city, after all! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 15:27, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. St Louis's "scene" is not particularly notable. --Evb-wiki 15:49, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for lack of any assertion of notability.--Voxpuppet (talk • contribs) 09:33, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
