Cringe pop

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

First, the scope of the article seems too subjective to be meaningful. The article fails to establish how the subject is notable or discussed extensively in reliable sources. The few sources provided are merely essays about songs that some people happened to find cringe Python Drink (talk) 23:28, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep: This genre has been gaining significant attention lately. It has been recognized by academia. I don't see why it shouldn't be on Wikipedia. Here are some scholarly /academic sources recognizing it as a musical genre-

 * Strong Keep: I was just about to post some sources myself, but Akshaypatill got many of the big ones I came across. It's clearly a notable subject and already has a bevy of sources already in the article. However, the scholarly journals above can prove that the page isn't just subjective or original research. Why?

 * Weak keep: The citations are a mix of references from educational and news sources. I feel that while the noteworthiness is weak, it is there. The best thing to do would be to expand this article with more information on the topic, and to include more citations that aren't from the same internet domain. Avoid using sources that are merely opinions of distaste for particular songs, but instead focuses on explaining the genre. &#8212;&#160;CJDOS,&#160;Sheridan,&#160;OR&#160;(talk) 13:17, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
