905 music scene[edit]

This isn't a genuine, unified music scene, but an original research attempt to create one by combining several distinct local music scenes into one entity on the basis of a shared telephone area code. The Hamilton scene of Wax Mannequin has no connection to the Durham Region scene of Cuff the Duke, frex. The article also tried to claim 905-ness for bands that are more properly associated with Toronto, such as Metric and Broken Social Scene. Delete as OR.

Delete per nom. Given that "905 music scene" gets all of 19 unique Google hits, this doesn't seem to be a commonly-used term. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:51, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. For reasons given. In any event, I suspect most of these bands are better described as being part of the Toronto music scene. Skeezix1000 (talk) 19:12, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. I agree with Bearcat that the article appears to be OR but so is Bearcat's theory that there is no 905 music scene. With WP:RS, I would be inclined to keep the article. DoubleBlue (Talk) 03:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying there's no music originating within the 905. I'm saying there isn't an organized or recognized cultural thing which any segment of the music industry or the media refers to as "the 905 music scene". What actually exists is about five separate and independent music scenes within the 905 region, none of which are particularly connected to each other under any larger cultural umbrella. The music certainly exists — but "905 music scene" is not a recognized name for the cultural context in which anybody named in this article operates.

Delete—Appears to be original research for all the reasons Bearcat has noted. --Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 22:03, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
