Soft-edge Pop

Nominated on behalf of User:Bus stop (nomination partially completed). The issue here might be either tone or being a neologism, not sure. I am neutral. Raymie (t • c) 23:35, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator made this comment on the talk page: "This article has virtually no sources. I can find few references (online) to the topic of "Soft-edge Pop". The article communicates very little—I find the writing undecipherable. Deletion might be a good option."

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Visual arts-related deletion discussions. —Raymie (t • c) 23:35, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Raymie. I goofed up the process of nominating the article for deletion. I guess I'm not perfect after all. I can find nothing of substance in the article Soft-edge Pop. It seems to me to be a joke. I'd be interested to see if anybody else finds value in it. Bus stop (talk) 23:55, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A little more research shows that the article's creation was the only work of User:Sciannik. It was pretty large for a new article right out of the gate, too. Raymie (t • c) 23:58, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Although I did add imagery and some copyedit work back in January and there are a couple of references, the article seems to be WP:OR and basically stale...Modernist (talk) 02:01, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's sad to see this article go, it's a good read, but consists of mostly original research by the look of things. I attempted to find references to Soft-Edge Pop on various news sites and art journals, and then searched for the artists mentioned in the article and attempted to find any reputable sources classifying them as 'Soft-Edge Pop'. I came out empty. It simply doesn't exist in any mainstream media...is there any chance of this article being forwarded to an art journal or something? I don't know much about art, but this article may be worth a look-over by a profesional. Anyway, enough rambling, let WP:OR do the talking. 2birds1stone (talk) 10:47, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
