Delete. Alleged creator of this style is a redlink. Unsupported claims of popularity. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 12:25, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Based on the fact that it is a new and notable musical genre. The reference in Rolling Stone magazine, if anyone has that mag they should have a look at the article. Buzz Magazine may or may not be notable, im not too sure. We should ask some Australians on the topic.--210.50.253.124 (talk) 13:00, 9 August 2008

— 210.50.253.124 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. WWGB (talk) 13:10, 9 August 2008 (UTC) (who is Australian and never heard of either Grunk music or the John Smith Quintet.)[reply]

--With all due respect, how old are you WWGB? Because i cant help but think that someone who is slightly younger and has a broader knowledge of new Australian music might be able to shed light on this topic... --210.50.253.124 (talk) 13:29, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

-- And... since when does "(is Australian and never heard of either Grunk music or the John Smith Quintet.)" render something not notable, also have you ever heard of Mr Bungle WWGB? if you have not then you will be quite surprised when you discover that it is actually on wikipedia due to notability despite the fact that you have never heard of them. It does get quite tiresome when people who think they know things vote for deletion on topics on wikipedia.--210.50.253.124 (talk) 13:53, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You said "We should ask some Australians on the topic". I responded. Please make up your mind what you want. WWGB (talk) 13:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am also intrigued by the comment "It does get quite tiresome when people who think they know things vote for deletion on topics on wikipedia" - this from an editor who had been a member of Wikipedia for 53 minutes at the time of posting that comment.

Delete No real supported claims, and I would doubt that Rolling Stone gave it more than one sentence. Furthermore, the alleged creator is a red link. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 16:29, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless some real sources can be produced. Genre appears to be barely a year old, and has, as far as I am able to discern, received no significant coverage. Ford MF (talk) 23:23, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I am from Melbourne Australia and Grunk is a massive thing here. There are so many around, its the new trend in the Australian music industry. I agree it is barely a year old but it has already recieved alot of attention. Both sources are factual by the way and the Rolling Stone article is about half a page, have a read its quite informative. --116.240.169.227 (talk) 09:14, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I'm from Australia, work in the music industry, and I've never heard of it, and a bit of online research picked up nothing. I don't know what the Rolling Stone mention was, but I doubt it was more than just that - a mention. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:51, 12 August 2008 (UTC).[reply]
