Notability - this is not a "movement" that exists.
The opening sentence, which says it all really, reads: "Britsound is the name given to label British music acts originating from the UK (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales)." No, it's not. It's a name invented by a single US-based DJ, which is not used by anyone except him to describe a movement. As for the tautology of "British music acts originating from the UK (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales)"... Malcolm Starkey 12:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per nom. This term is not in common use, and no evidence has been provided that it reflects the perceptions of musicians or fans in the UK or abroad. --Metropolitan90 17:46, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Note -- if it were a phrase used only by Americans to refer to British musicians, it still might be notable as such. I don't think this one is, but one need not belong to a group to give it a name. --Dhartung | Talk 20:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
