Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Geek rock (2nd nomination)
There are few surer examples of the evolution of AfD than to look at the staggering 1st nomination from 2006 ... a tidal wave of Keep votes based around "could be useful," "valid genre," "needs expansion" and sourced from a last.fm link that cites ... the Wikipedia article.  The current article is superficially sourced, but when you actually read the sources you find a bunch of casual, oblique mentions in college newspapers, the usual bloggers, broken links and, oh, the user-created last.fm link, not a single one of which credibly passes .  Neither the (heavily weasel-worded) article nor any of the links attempt to define this "genre" - and even admits as much - other than that the bands purportedly associated with it use uncommon instruments, have allegedly "dorky" looks, and often play songs concerning love, loneliness and isolation.  (I could think of, oh, only about a thousand acts over the last fifty years which would fit that description in every particular, but I digress.)  None of the sources discuss the '''subject''' of this article in any detail, let alone the "significant detail" that the GNG requires; they instead discuss groups for which this article attempts to claim the mantle of "geek rock" acts.  Fails ,  going away
