thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Kinksgotme.jpg

message: I think it's ridiculous to include "protopunk" and "garage rock"; the only song on the album that touches on these genres is "You Really Got Me". I think the album is just being shoehorned into the genre just because of the most famous track. The rest is just rock and roll. Thoughts? 86.142.177.11 (talk) 20:19, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Please read WP:NOR. You should be looking at published reviews, not listening and deciding yourself. Binksternet (talk) 06:41, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Wait, so you expect there to be a source saying "This album is NOT "protopunk" nor "garage rock""? Please be realistic. When there isn't a written source about something, we start a discussion. 86.172.245.152 (talk) 13:42, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: No, we leave the genre empty when there is no written source. Binksternet (talk) 15:44, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Would you say this source is sufficient enough to add "Rhythm and blues" and perhaps "Merseybeat": http://www.allmusic.com/album/kinks-mw0001983603 ?
Although maybe "beat" rather than "Merseybeat", since The Kinks were not from the Merseyside. MetalicMadness (talk) 17:23, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The 'Merseybeat' bit is not suggested as a genre; the Allmusic source says that Ray Davies composed a few unremarkable "perfunctory Merseybeat-ish pastiches" which appear on the album. That is not strong enough to call the whole album "Merseybeat" or even "beat". Binksternet (talk) 17:53, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
