Nu metal[edit]

Article focuses on a neologism that has been tagged onto many mainstream/popular rock groups by a handful of music critics. It is poorly referenced, and seems to rely heavily on original research. Ibaranoff24 (talk) 03:48, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: appears to be notable' "Nu Metal" +Music returns 2,890,000 GHITS. Also, there are multiple categories for Category:Nu metal musical groups present on Wikipedia (created as far back as 2005), so I doubt this is a word that someone WP:MADEUP recently. ~ AmeIiorate _{U T C} @ 04:05, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It certainly is a notable topic. The nominator brings up no policy to delete it by, just the fact that it may need clean-up Tavix (talk) 05:08, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Definitely a notable topic; as others have said, it needs to be cleaned up. BBCOFFEECAT (talk) 06:22, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Snowball Keep Widely used term, but article is a tad unencyclopedic in tone. Nerdluck34 (The master of sock puppets) 07:19, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - Bad faith nomination. Term is widely used and surpasses the state of neologism in any aspect. ~ | twsx | ^talk_cont | ~ 08:03, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
