References in article do not indicate that there is a genre called cold pop. Most do not even mention it and none of the bands listed mention it on their article pages and all clearly belong to other recognisable genres. A good faith search of google books and google does not turn up any more reliable sources. Of the two sources that mention cold pop one takes text from the other and the original seems to be promotion for a single album and does not indicate that there is a genre. All the important points (origins and musical characteristics) in the article do not have citations. It therefore seems to fall under the deletion policy as per "articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions..."

• Delete as per Google search. No indication of any music genre called "cold pop". -- Luke (Talk) 15:35, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
• Delete as a neologism which doesn't appear to have wide usage. There's quite a lot of original research here as well. Several Times (talk) 16:59, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

• Delete- per nom. "Genre" doesn't seem to exist, or at least there's no sources to support it. Sergecross73 msg me 20:18, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
• Delete: The genre doesn't even exist. Joe Chill (talk) 21:14, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
• Do Not DeleteAlthough this is a new term it hardly qualifies as neologism. It is in fact a new genre that has inspired a band name: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccipv6zoDbk

An album by a different band: http://metropolisamerica.bandcamp.com/

and is becoming a more known sub genre of independent rock music across the world (as evidenced in the two links above). This article is an attempt to put the information of Cold Pop into the public sphere while the genre is in it's infancy.

• Do Not Delete If it is important that Wikipedia stay ahead of the curve on helping to define new terminology such as this, it needs to embrace this genre now, as it is being introduced into the lexicon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.49.61.80 (talk) 14:14, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
  • That's really not what this place is for. Several Times (talk) 15:09, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
• Delete- per nom. The topic leaves me cold. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:45, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
