 * Delete, no significant reliable sources discussing the concept. We can't merge unsourced content. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 03:52, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Plenty of sources discussing the genre (random example); it's just they're all spread out, which makes writing the article under our policies difficult. However, that's not a reason to delete it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  13:40, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. My own searching failed to find any WP:RS.  The source pointed out by User:Ritchie333 is a reference to Guardians Of Sound: The Acoustic Hip Hop Ensemble.  Some group calling themselves "The Acoustic Hip Hop Ensemble" doesn't mean "Acoustic Hip Hop" is an accepted genre name.  I could declare that my garage band plays, "narco-classical synth pop", and that would mean exactly nothing.  I'd be happy to see this AfD relisted to give User:Ritchie333 time to show us other sources he's found, but the way things are now, I can't see any reason to keep this.  -- RoySmith (talk) 23:41, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
