*'''Delete'''. OR essay not grounded in sources. There is no set definition of "post-beat" -- some of the most prominent uses have been for people like Bob Dylan and Patti Smith but the article glosses over this. There is now a self-defined "community" using the terminology but this seems to use in-universe descriptions. This would have to be substantially rewritten to be encyclopedic. --[[User:Dhartung|Dhartung]] | [[User talk:Dhartung|Talk]] 19:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm still working on it...just please don't delete it. you deleted my first attempt without giving me a chance to remedy the problems and this is a lot of work for a newbee. I'm taking out the opinion and hunting for more links.

Not sure about this one, never heard of this concept before. It reads like an essay and is completely unsourced, so I'm inclined to think it violates WP:NOR, as well as WP:V and possibly WP:N. Google only turns up 40 hits, only one or two are actually related to the topic. Mr Senseless (talk) 18:19, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article in progress...was gonna finish before I saved but power glitch caused early save(?) Having trouble with refs linking so I manually inserted until I work out bugs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimcohn (talkcontribs) 18:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
