[edit] Urban Crank

This would appear to be an attempt at defining a new musical style based on the specific sounds being generated from a specific part of Washington, DC. Unfortunately, the article is unsourced, and a Google search [1] turns up 202 hits for "urban crank" - and nine for "urban crank" music. I can't find anything that confirms this as a substantially recognized musical style, and thus feel it fails verifiability. Delete Tony Fox (arf!) 16:09, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I am adding Urban Crunk to this nomination, as it is substantially the same as this article, and after perusing both of these as well as the user page of the creator, User:Dawntelesford, I'm seeing a walled garden spring up surrounding the erstwhile creators of the genre. See also the below nomination of DC-MUSIC-CHARTS as somewhat related. Tony Fox (arf!) 16:21, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete both, as they are protologisms and are not verifiable in any way that I can see.--Isotope23 17:15, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete both. This is an attempt to sneak a deleted article back in under another name, per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Young Crowd. The band is not notable, so here's an article, centered on the band, attempting to define it as a new musical subgenre. There is an attempt to link this style with notable artists, but it's unsupported based on reliable sources. Fan-1967 17:18, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

PLEASE REMOVE URBAN CRUNK. The Wikipedia Theory, and DC-MUSIC CHARTS from WIKIPEDIA. I've ben trying to delete these pages for some tiem now and I did not realize that it must be done by this way. THANKS!! Dawntelesford 23:23, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
