Landfill indie

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

Term just a minor meme/phrase that isn't notable. The article is mostly just quotes from the sources, and doesn't appear to meet the notability guidelines. Encyclopedic content could be moved to Indie rock or Independent music, though I'm not sure anything is actually noteworthy. NYSMtalk page 00:50, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. It is a minor meme that has received trivial mention in a few newspapers and books, but there has not been enough written about to warrant an encyclopedia article. - Mr X 01:38, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect. I thought we had a consensus for merger here, but the waters became a little muddy. I think that we can reliably demonstrate that the term was used, but beyond that there is very little to say. Some years on, it looks like a meme that had its time and Wikipedia doesn't do memes.--SabreBD (talk) 07:44, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't think the phrase exists outside of the occassional output of a few music journalists. I am confused as to what is going into the landfill - CDs? Deleted MP3 files? As to who it should actually be applied to fluff knows. 'Indie' is a hopeless description in itself, once we start riffing...Scrapyard indie? Bottle bank indie? Sharps bin indie (all 'real' btw)? Just can the article, it's imaginary. DistractedPedant 16:07, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
