[edit] UK82

Not notable. Delete. - brenneman(t)(c) 05:29, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, notable genre. Kappa 05:52, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment, I'm happy to change my vote if given evidence of notability. - brenneman(t)(c) 14:23, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Kappa. --Apyule 06:05, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete for nn. Incoherent. --Agamemnon2 10:55, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Hardcore punk (changed from reserved pending further). Excuse my possible ignorance here, how is this different from Hardcore punk? If it's the same (as I think it is) I'll be voting 'redirect'. Alf 11:45, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Hrrrrmmmm. Kind of a notable thing ("UK 82", a better title, gets something like 15,000 hits. I can't tell how many are this; clearly many are not) but an awful article. It is also a song by The Exploited. Needs serious cleanup, to the point where it should be deleted if it doesn't get it. I don't have time now, but I'll take a pass at it if no one else does before VfD closure. -R. fiend 15:18, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
    • It's been cleaned a bit so keep or merge, see below. -R. fiend 21:22, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Perhaps merge or redirect to punk music, or the like, but for now, yeeeeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and vote Delete. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 17:28, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as per User:Kappa. - ulayiti (talk) 19:02, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I've heard this term in use, but it might be too peripheral for having its own article. Punkmorten 20:47, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete imaginary music genres. As usual, none of the band articles to which this links uses this term to describe the band's style. —Wahoofive (talk) 04:15, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
    • It's not imaginary; nor is it a neologism, as the term existed in the 80's. It's not a genre so much as a specific group of bands, sort of like the 60's British invasion, but much more obscure. "UK 82" punk gets 631 google hits, and "UK82" punk gets 529 more. Not tons, but a fair number. The article's been cleaned up a bit, but if it's not expanded it should probably be merged and redirected somewhere. Maybe hardcore punk. And by the way, the Charged GBH article does specify them as UK 82, and has for more than a year. Anyway, if kept move to UK 82. -R. fiend 21:22, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
