Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shiny Shoe Music

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Msh210 (talk | contribs) at 19:41, 16 July 2006 (nomination). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This term is a neologism according to the article itself, which writes:

The term Shiny Shoe Music was first used by MoChassid, a Jewish music blog. Other names for it commonly refer to "Boro Park Rock," "DosPop," "Hemishe Freilachs," and "Muzica Chasidi" (Hebrew phrase for "Hasidic Music.")

Following that link shows that the term was invented in 2004 by a blogger; there is no reason to think that it has wide-spread use. Google has "about 674" results, the first of which is WP. The fact that other editors have edited the page means merely that they know about this kind of music (as I do), not that they refer to it by this name. (But I hope to inform all such editors of this nomination.)—msh210 19:41, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
