Talk:Yacht Rock (web series)

message: Just sort of a post-AfD addendum - please resist the urge to split the show and the genre into separate articles.  The AfD (linked at the top of the page) came about largely because the two concepts (at the moment) aren't necessarily notable enough to survive on their own.
If a separation is desired in the future, let's be sure to have an open discussion about it beforehand, just to avoid what happened here. -- ChrisB 22:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Please do not separate the article

message: Above, it was proposed that the article be split, but it seems to me that there is no particular need for an article about "Yacht rock" as its own musical genre at all.  Yacht rock doesn't really exist as a genre, and can, in fact, be expanded by the creators of the series to include just about anything they want to include - as they've done by including a Van Halen song.  It seems to me we should really have an article Yacht Rock, about the series, and discuss the music in context of the series, rather than vice versa. john k 18:49, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  I think the reason the genre survived as the primary article name is because it had more stuff in it at the time, and the users had already added links to the genre article all over the place (via categories, etc.) in a very short period of time.  Some of them are still hanging around out there, actually. --Closeapple 01:37, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Would anyone object to this article being moved to Yacht Rock and reorganizing it so it emphasizes the videos a bit more? john k 17:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is "yacht rock" actually a genre?

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:FullSail.jpg

message: Now that the episode is online, I've added the pertinent information (and reverted a very strange entry). Any Yacht Rock fans willing to spot-check the changes, and maybe fix the wording a bit?

thread_title:  Updates for Episode 11 

message: Would anyone mind if I added a Yacht Rock listing in chronological order as well as a more detailed breakdown of the narrative of the show? Several of the longer running plot-lines have been ignored in the writing of the article - as part of Yacht Rock's charm is that when watched in order, the whole becomes far more than the sum of it's parts.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.40.48.96 (talk) 17:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chronology / Narrative? 

message: If anyone wants to add information from http://asap.ap.org/stories/276586.s#, feel free. I don't have time to put it in right now, though I did add a new artist acknowledgment section. ZeaLitY [ DREAM - REFLECT ] 23:18, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Article

message: 'The "Yacht rock" name for the soft rock format that peaked in popularity between the years of 1975 and 1984.'
* YR is the name...
* YR is named for...
I'm not sure what the line is trying to say. 203.35.82.136 (talk) 22:22, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Does this sentence make sense?

message: Back in 2005, the article "yacht rock" was created, determined to be a WP:Neologism, and refactored into this article about the show; then again created as a separate article in 2006, and deleted as a WP:Neologism, redirected back to this article.  A user has now split the "yacht rock" term into a separate article again; I've nominated it for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yacht rock (2nd nomination). --Closeapple (talk) 07:24, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
