or being added by fans, but as long as we keep an eye on that I think this can be turned into a perfectly respectable article. It's already in much better shape than articles that merit being considered for AfD. (edit-conflict edited to add: Perhaps one of the problems
English-speakers are having is that some of the sources are in Gaelic and they can't see how they source the article. While this is en-wiki, and we should use English sources as much as possible, when the topic itself deals with bands performing in the Gaelic language, it's only expected that some of those sources will be in Gaelic. If we are to allow topics on WP that deal with other languages than English - which we do - these sources are relevant.) -

music, because what has from time immemorial defined Gaelic music is the use of the language. In traditional Gaelic music rythms are defined by the liguistic rythms of the lyricsl- this is as true in piobaireachd as it is in song per-se or in Peurt a Beul, and is reflected in much of Run-Rig's Gaelic work. This depedency does not (to my ear anyway) carry through into the punk genre, which nonetheless reflects a new form of creativity within Gaelic culture. It certainly isn't everyone's glass of malt but from the Gaelic speaker's perspective it is definitely a genre of Gaelic Music. It is also quite clearly punk- by volume, rythym and well...lyrics. PEĂ“D.
347:. The problems with sourcing can be addressed without too much work, and the topic itself is notable. The genre is known in not only the Gaelic-speaking areas and the Celtic nations, but also abroad. (OR here, but I've certainly heard it discussed on both Gaelic and Punk radio broadcasts, and among both Gaelic speakers and punk rock fans in Scotland and the US.) I probably won't have time to do it today or tomorrow, but there is content on the pages in the external links that can be used for inline citations.
192:- "Gaelic Punk" was a silly title, as Manx and Irish are "Gaelic". It is not really a genre as such as referring to punk sung within the Scottish Gaelic language. The genre has been frequently noted by Scottish media, i.e. BBC radio, the TV (in English and GĂ idhlig), national newspapers such as the Scotsman etc. Whole documentaries have been made on this subject. --
297:"unreliable"? Do you realise it's arguably the most significant newspaper in this country? The likely reason that they weren't used as "citations", is because it is actually difficult for people who don't spend 20 hours a day on wikipedia trying to learn to work the thing... And by the way, the "genre" debate is a red herring. --

I'm not entirely sure whether I'm entitled to take part in this debate, as I'm a registered user of the Gaelic
Wikepedia but not the English Wikepedia. I'm also 47, which means I'm old enough to remember the arrival of "punk" first time round. The Gaelic Songs of Oi Polloi have their place in Gaelic
592:
With a number of different bands using Gaelic as medium whilst playing music recognised as punk, then this clearly is a genre. Not only that, but it is a genre recognised outwith
Scotland that has been discussed in national newspapers, fanzines, websites and radio - both BBC Scotland (Vic Galloway's

reliable source, and I'm pretty sure I can dig up additional hardcopy sources as well, given a bit of time to go through my books and other publications.
