Hey, although it isn't as widespread as you would like, this genre is ever-growing in my area. Please don't delete my page. I am trying all means by which to inform anyone who might be interested or curious about this genre of music.Cbusch2010 (talk) 03:04, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, it fails WP:V, WP:RS and possily WP:OR, if you fix these problem, the article might be saved from deletion. Also commenting on the fact that Google has only 11 hits, and only a few o the actual genre, a few are false positives. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 03:07, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this seems to be obscure genre at best. Google's only reference seems to be the article itself. Evenios (talk) 03:14, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I was merely trying to inform people about my genre of music. Very unnecessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbusch2010 (talk • contribs) 03:16, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is not Wikipedia's purpose, see all the links above for details. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 03:20, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: a few of the opinions expressed above by Cbusch2010 (talk · contribs) and Evenios (talk · contribs) look like !votes, but don't have a bolded recommendation (eg Keep, Delete, Merge etc.) this makes the discussion a little difficult to follow, so it may be worth those editors adding such recommendations in accordance with the AfD discussion guidelines. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 03:40, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete at this point, but if any of the information in this article can be verified, I would probably shift to a Merge !vote (moving any referenced information to Christian Metal). My primary difficulty with this article is not a lack of notability, but the lack of references. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 03:46, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This genre originated in Sabetha, Kansas around the year 2010. Clearly a WP:MADEUP genre, as an equivalent secular genre doesn't exist. Nate • (chatter) 22:21, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the usual outcomes for brand new genres of music. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Electrocrunk. Bearian (talk) 14:47, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There doesn't exist much information on the internet yet due to the premature "underground" state it resides in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbusch2010 (talk • contribs) 14:28, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And that's fine, but (to quote the first sentence of the verifiability policy) "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—what counts is whether readers can verify that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true." A subject needs to be verifiable to warrant inclusion. If, in the future, this genre receives significant coverage in independent reliable sources, please feel free to re-add it, but until then it can't be included. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 01:42, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
