Newly made up regional music genre that has not yet garnered significant coverage in reliable sources. Pontificalibus (talk) 16:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

This is not a "newly made-up regional music genre" any more than hip-hop or bounce were. The reliable sources are cited in this article. The genre DOES exist and IS growing in popularity. There is no valid reason to delete this article. --Heavy (talk) 18:30, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

:None of the sources given are reliable independent sources. It may well be real and "growing in popularity" but that doesn't make it notable.--Pontificalibus (talk) 18:40, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

• Delete No evidence it satisfies notability guideline in Wikipedia. Edison (talk) 00:08, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
• Delete - I didn't see notable coverage on Google, Google News and Yahoo, the one that came even close was a discogs page but it wouldn't hold much on the article.SwisterTwister talk 02:52, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

• Delete per no significant coverage from independent sources. PaintedCarpet (talk) 08:31, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

• Do NOT Delete While notability as defined by Wikipedia is highly subjective, this article DOES provide verified reliable third-party sources thus satisfying the need for an independent article. Wikipedia's notability standards further state that "Determining notability DOES NOT NECESSARILY DEPEND on things like fame, importance, or popularity." Thus, this article should not be up for deletion simply because readers may not have heard of the subject. The fact remains that Yacht Bounce DOES exist, is supported culturally--with or without the vast Internet presence available for older music genres--and is being covered by the entertainment press. --Heavy (talk) 17:07, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
