Comment: It doesn't seem to be made up [1], its even mentioned in Adult album alternative. There are news sourcesexample1 Billboard reference which reference it as a sub-species or type of AAA. Not sure I if see enough for a standalone article (I bet radio trade mags have covered it though), but if not this should be re-directed to AAA or album-oriented rock, and the content placed there.--Milowent (talk) 04:48, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect "World Class Rock" is a form of the AAA format, but it has not yet been defined enough to warrant a designation as its own format and thus its own article. However, I'm not inclined to delete it altogether. If someone were to take the article as it currently exists and develop it in their user space, I would likely find myself in a position of being able to support it.

Merge and redirect to Adult album alternative. It's just a marketing synonym for that format (IIRC, it's what KFOG calls what they play, and doubles as their slogan) — Gwalla | Talk 16:53, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
