The result was delete. "It's useful" is, for better or worse, not a convinving argument to keep something. Wikipedia is not here to spread the word about budding concepts- we report after independent, reliable sources have shown the topic is important, not before.

I really do hate to put articles up for deletion, but this article has no reliable sources and is entirely OR. There is no proof that this is an actual form of music. RG (talk) 18:26, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't Metal Hammer Magazine statement about trance metal genre reliable source, this can be read in their magazine? Little bit googling about trance metal and you find lot of talk about the genre and lot of bands that use this to descripe their music. I would say that it must stay since it is growing genre.

Articalhero is right. Maybe the decision of Trance metal being sucessful is done here in WP, and I do not want this genre die like oldschool Rap Metal.--188.100.178.7 (talk) 08:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence that this "genre" is notable and verifiable. Prolog (talk) 20:43, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the usual outcome for new, unverifiable genres (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Electrocrunk). Bearian (talk) 23:30, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as this article has indeed helped me to discover artists in this genre that I would not otherwise have learned about. Its a useful resource, and should definately stay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.92.217.165 (talk) 15:29, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
