The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was keep; plausible claims made that this is a legitimate genre of music that gets over the notability threshhold. This does not prejudice any future merges. Metamagician3000 09:12, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Digital hardcore[edit]

Clearly an advertisement for a tiny record label, vanity. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Superbeatles (talk • contribs) .

Comment Article is not about the record label. It's about the genre, though there's a one-line reference to the label. Fan1967 01:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hm. Yeah, I see that now. In that case, is this a notable sub-genre? Darquis 01:47, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's the question. Based on an edit on the article, nominator doesn't think so. I'm not much on music since Clapton passed 50, so I have no idea. Fan1967 01:57, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, the article has 9 external links to, supposedly, 9 record labels that work with this genre, which weakens my original merging opinion. -- ReyBrujo 04:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Leave it up!! I just used this page for research. It's a genre, (although an obscure one), not an ad for Alec Empire's record label. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.32.47.80 (talk • contribs) .

This AfD is being relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that a decision may usefully be reached. Please add new discussion below this notice. Thanks!

Keep Perfectly valid. Tyrenius 09:56, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Well-known and well-documented genre. Jdcooper 10:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Digital Hardcore Recordings - the genre took its name from the label rather than vice versa. If any of the other labels in the links section are notable enough to have their own article, I could sway to a keep.Ac@osr 11:14, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete advert. Newyorktimescrossword 01:57, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Digital hardcore is a notable subgenre, and it is ridiculous to suggest that this is an advert. Dwdmang 16:51, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Not an advert. The DHR label did originally influence the name of the genre, but the genre includes more than just DHR's output nowadays. Davelong 16:21, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As per my nom, long ago. Superbeatles 02:31, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
