John, I noticed that you deleted the "Poseur" page because of some vandalism or whatever reason. I cannot create this page now as it is protected...
A poseur, in the hipster community (and many others, in fact), is someone who purports to encompass the community goals and/or values, but only does so on the surface. This use of the term has previously been on wikipedia, but no more.
It can also be spelled "Poser" but that page is taken entirely by some computer modelling program.
Hope you might be able to help and let me create the "Poseur" page.

Ceremonial Snips (Band) Deletion
Sir, with all respect I still protest the deletion of the Ceremonial Snips entry on the basis that the judgement: "18:39, 15 July 2007 John Reaves (Talk | contribs) deleted "Ceremonial Snips" (CSD A7 (Band): Article about a band that does not assert significance)" is wrong. Between the article and the talk page the significance of the band is both 1) the proliferation of ska-metal (where in the article I re-iterate the difference between ska-core and ska-metal that most Ontario publications have. And 2) That they are a cornerstone in the punk music revival in the Niagara region which includes Wikipedia approved bands such as Alexisonfire.
Once again - it is also needed to set the record straight on their history from before their new label picked them up. Could you please revisit this decision and if possible recover some of the old article. If not, could I at least ask for a better explanation than 'that popular band that you know, they're insignificant'.
