[edit] Ska cover

Ska cover (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

It is totally original research. Cover songs played in a ska style is not a noteworthy topic. Spylab (talk) 00:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - per WP:OR and is totally NN Doc Strange (talk) 00:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Absolutely nothing particularly notable about a ska cover -- nothing that makes it different from any other cross-genre cover songs. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:44, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as self-explanatory dicdef -- a ska cover is a ska cover song. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Sure I've heard these, but it's a dicdef (WP:WINAD) and could not be anything more without going into a list of examples violating WP:NOT#IINFO and WP:NOT#DIR or going into WP:OR.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 14:50, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. I was the original prodder. Useless article, nothing encyclopedic can be written. J Milburn (talk) 18:40, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Trivial. --Funper (talk) 22:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete — Seems to be either something that was made up in school one day or a neologism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathan (talk • contribs) 00:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - The "ska cover" phenomena is quite well known above and beyond of the notability of the standard "cover version" but creating a reliably sourced article might be a struggle, especially considering the lack of a widely used term, so I'm remaining neutral on this. -Halo (talk) 21:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Response to comment - The ska cover phenomena is no more notable than any other cross-genre cover song phenomena. Musicians from all types of genres have been doing cross-genre covers for ages. This article is just an attempt at finding and defining a supposed trend, which is original research. Therefore it does not belong on Wikipedia. Spylab (talk) 16:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Absolutely worthless, totally unencyclopedic.--Michig (talk) 18:55, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
