Disco-Pop[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An empty article with not a single reference. It seems unbelievable that the term is coined exclusively in 2000's for Mika and Gnarls Barkley. Especially looking at respective articles and finding not a trace of "Disco pop" mention. Delete per WP:OR, WP:RS and WP:N. Garret Beaumain (talk) 07:13, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I would not be that surprised if someone could come up with a completely rewritten article describing the subgenre of "disco-pop" and sourced to reliable sources, but this article is not it. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:35, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This seems to be a real term that is used in the music world, but it is hard to pin down exactly what it is, and to find solid sources. Googling for "disco pop" (in quotes) turns up many hits on the first few search results pages. Judging from the results, it seems that the genre has been around since before 2006, although perhaps the term is newer. The genre seems to be somewhere between dance-pop and post-disco. If kept, the article certainly needs to be expanded and better defined. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 22:29, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Googling has only proven that two words are sometimes put together, not that it is a term or a genre. A term presupposes there's a commonly accepted definition, not only the name. Garret Beaumain (talk) 15:53, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I totally agree with the nominator. Also disco-pop is not a genre. We can also have funk-pop, jazz-pop, etc it's just saying "pop-oriented disco music"/"pop-oriented funk music", etc. Disco-pop has been evoluted in 1970s with artists like ABBA, Boney M, etc. By the way, Gnarls Barkley is some kind of alternative/hip hop and Mika is indie pop. Enough said. RockandDiscoFanCZ (talk) 23:25, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
