[edit] This article is good and should not be deleted

I found this article via google, because I got used to this superb feature of wikipedia - its completeness. Everything worth being described - is described here, so I often start my searches by checking the wiki e.g. if I want to learn something about bikes, I just google for "bike +wiki". And today I googled for "canon rock +wiki". What do I see? A nice article and a deletion template. Wikipedia is a good source of knowledge on everything, not only "ecyclopedia britannica" things. If I want to learn about something like music I start with wikipedia, not britannica. Not only are the articles good, but also they usually provide links, that allow deeper research. Just like this article. Unfortunately nowadays, wikipedia is being raided by deletion nazis. Why should this article be deleted? It is GOOD. It provides information and links. What also should it have? I have this feeling, that recently I see a deletion template nearly every time when I come across an article on wikipedia. If you really dont like this article, perhaps you should not read it, or stop reading wikipedia at all? Someone spent some time and created this USEFUL piece of writing. If you consider this article poor - then upgrade it, instead of deleting it. I bet you cant contribute in any way, so you spam your deletion templates and then argue on deleting the articles... You do not contribute, you destroy wikipedia and steal the time, that other people could use on improving their articles, instead of defending them from deletion.

It does not matter what a google search returns (or how we somehow "destroy Wikipedia") - this article fails WP:NOTE. Also, thanks for your personal attacks both on here and on my talk page - it really shows your maturity. --DannyDaWriter (talk) 23:39, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Seconded on the validity of this article. It is clearly relevant and worthy of note, it should NOT be it deleted. I just searched specifically for this in wikipedia for more information and was glad I found this reference, I would have drawn a blank if deletion advocates had had their way. Please don't advocate the deletion of relevant information from this encyclopedia.Dorbie (talk) 08:31, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I'm agreed that the page looks nice enough. Feel free to expand on it by all means, but i've just formatted some general errors. Could do with maybe more info, but i'll leave that up to you. User:Rick 50000 (UTC) 10:02 PM, October 9 - 2006

[edit] What's the background track?

What music is in the background that this is played on top of? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.181.243.203 (talk) 00:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

Answer- it's just a backing track... that JerryC made.

[edit] Covers

I've added a rank list by view in this section, but to avoid confusion, I'll list what I did.

I first gathered all of the Canon Rock covers with 50,000+ views, from Youtube and Google Video. I then sorted them into their respective videos. (meaning I totaled the views from the same video - for example, funtwo's cover had 21 videos with over 50,000 views, so they were all added for funtwo) The total was then allotted to the respective user and the top 10 were selected. Here is the list of the videos' views, just to avoid confusion.

[edit] Moving The Page

Since this is alot more popular than the uninhabited island Canon Rock, maybe we should make this page the main page for Canon Rock. JasonDeLima 07:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clearing up user "Hackoogue"

Alright people, I thought this would have been clear by now, but "hackologue" is not the person playing the "Canon Rock 2" arrangement, it is Learz, a Korean guitarist. Hackologue just uploaded Learz's video and made it popular, but the real guitarist is Learz, not hackologue.
