Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shiny Shoe Music
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)

- 'keep. Fact check. Following the link, I learned that the blogger was happy to use the term in 2004 because he felt it was inspired, not that he made it up himself. In fact he specifically disclaims making it up, saying that it was made up by another Yerushalmi musician. The Google hits seem diverse enough to support the idea that it is in use by a lot of people, even if it's a "neologism" (not sure if that term even applies to music, whose styles are constantly evolving) Reswobslc 03:32, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
