replies: text: The numerous sources (17) are in following with WP:Verifiability, tough luck if you "don't like them". Troll this article again, vandalising huge sections and a move will be made to get you banned for WP:VANDAL, WP:BLANK, WP:TROLL. If you feel certain parts need an aditional source or a source at all, then a "fact" tag is to be placed next to it, however your blanking/vandalism of the article will be reverted. You could always go listen to your Green Day CDs while the big boys contrib to the articles. - TheOnly ones (talk) 14:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

message: ::Why was my sourced inclusion of the Los Angeles-based, Max Lazer Band deleted from the article? They played in many clubs around Los Angeles in th late 1970s, and two of their songs are included on a compilation CD released on the Siamese Dogs label entitled, The Godfathers of LA Punk.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:11, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Thats not really a genre, more to do with a look and Hanoi Rocks were a rock band essentially, while the Dolls are rock n roll/r'n'b, this article really shouldn't exist, just more usless characterisation for other established styles.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Akadaks (talk • contribs) 09:50, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Going through the citations I cannot disagree with the above statement. This looks like WP:SYNTH to me. Can anyone actually produce something that actually outlines a genre of glam punk or should we be looking to a AfD?--SabreBD (talk) 08:10, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I attempted to resolve these issues by cleaning up the article. I removed the SYNTH and OR and dubious sources, replacing these with a sourced version and took out the genre infobox as this does not appear to be a genre in a meaningful sense. Part of the problem is that glam punk is only used widely for one band, the Dolls. I found one other band from the 70s that were reliable sources indicated was part of the movement. That raises the issue of whether the issues could be handled at the band's page or perhaps on protopunk, but for now it probably has a better claim as an article.--SabreBD (talk) 08:57, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I have reverted back to the cleaned up version. There really are no grounds for deleting information based on reliable sources, re-adding unsourced information or WP:OR and in making changes that go against the guidelines in the MOS. However, I am very open to discussion about the notability of parts of the article or particular sources here, should editors wish to open such discussions.--SabreBD (talk) 08:06, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Not a Genre (Glam Punk)

message: surely their first album, even the wikipedia article says it incorporates glam and punk  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.199.157.43 (talk) 15:02, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Motley Crue? 

message: Glam Punk is not just an "image", or a "retrospective label" it was an "underground" style in New York that mixed different past styles i.e. girl groups, garage rock, 50's rock n roll, pop , and rhythm and blues with glam rock, and protopunk. Rock and roll is considered a genre and it is basically a mix of rhythm and blues, and boogie woogie, so should we not consider rock and roll a genre just an "image" or "retrospective label"? Another example is the soul genre, its basically gospel style vocals, and rhythm and blues so would that not make it a genre also? A genre is music that distinguishes itself from other music (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_genre), an example of this is the group T. Rex and the New York Dolls you will notice the differences I speak of by listening to any of their songs. So an infobox with its stylistic origins should be included in its wiki page, and this IS a sub-genre.
This sub-genre is not widely known, so it is limited with sources that are considered "liable" claiming that Glam Punk is a genre. There is only mostly written/typed interviews of the artists that have released published music of this genre, and were present at this music scene. The most "liable" is any media/book pertaining to the New York Dolls, since they have been called "glam punk" (notice it does not say glam rock and protopunk). Listening to any of the artists on the "List of Glam Punk bands" wiki page is sound evidence if doubting any band posted previously with a sourced article. So, the bands deleted from this article and the wiki band list associated with this should be included again.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loza12345 (talk • contribs) 12:17, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for bringing these points here. Unfortunately, listening to bands and deciding that we think they belong to a genre is not sufficient for Wikipedia. Basically, we need reliable sources that indicate that have been seen as belonging to this genre. We can discuss whether sources are reliable and I have disputed some of these deletions on this talkpage, but basically if an editor to put them back, under WP:Burden it is incumbent on that editor to provide verifiable reliable sources. It may be that a genre is not widely known, but on Wikipedia that suggests that it is not notable and so perhaps we should think carefully about whether this should make a free standing article.--SabreBD (talk) 12:28, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

text: I would think an interview of the actual person of the genre, and sound evidence would be more reliable than a 3rd party publishing company publishing information about the genre. I would argue that wikipedia should change its view on what is reliable, and include sound evidence as a resource, since their are many flaws with this article, such as Hanoi Rocks being state as a metal band, since their sound is not metal if you take a listen. Also, I  said using the music as sound evidence to reinforce the sources posted with the previous information about the groups in this genre not myself deciding what the genre of the groups are. I see that the information is not seen as reliable under wikipedia so like the Mexicans say "ni modo", this article is a lost cause until someone publishes a book/article on this genre that is deemed reliable from both ends.JL2 (talk) 23:40, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Glam Punk is a Genre 

message: Still no response to the request for explanations of deletions, so I am opening this specific thread. There are no grounds for deleting the image of the New York Dolls from this article. The image is of the only band for which there are reliable sources in the article to demonstrate that they fit within the genre and the image was contemporary - illustrating their glam punk image. Arguing that they should not be here because the article is not about them is like arguing that Black Sabbath should not be in an article on Heavy Metal Music. The image clearly fulfils the criteria at WP:IMAGE RELEVANCE and, as those guidelines points out, "Effort should therefore be made to improve quality and choice of images or captions in articles rather than favoring their removal". I am open to suggestions of better images, but if such a suggestion cannot be made, the image that existed should be restored.--SabreBD (talk) 19:16, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Recently added sources for Sniper may be problematic. (Fast and Bulbous and New York Dolls Chronology). These seem to be self-published web sources. WP:USERGENERATED states that they are usually unacceptable as reliable sources. But, there is a clause that states that they "may be acceptable when produced by an established expert on the topic ... whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications". Do the generators of these websites fit this criteria, as that would be a good argument for their use?--SabreBD (talk) 08:30, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
