Düsseldorf School of electronic music

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:OR no sources, this is a fictional term, made up by a Krautrock fan, and posted here on Wikipedia. Semitransgenic talk. 14:17, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Tentatively, create at Wiktionary, delete here. By all appearences this is a neologism-ish term, probably coined in hindsight, yet certainly not fictional:
 * 1 "(…) artfully unifying the so-called Düsseldorf School (…)"
 * 2 "Another from the Düsseldorf School."
 * 3 "(…) the influences of (…) the so-called Düsseldorf School (NEU!, Kraftwerk, La Düsseldorf) can be recognised."
 * 4 "The Düsseldorf School – industrial architecture as “anonymous sculpture”"
 * 5 "This time the trio pushes us in the Teutonic rhythms of the Düsseldorf School with the fragrances of Mythos' Krautrock style and the robotics rhythms of Kraftwerk."
 * 6 "One focus will be on regional scenes such as the Düsseldorf school of electronic in the 1970s with music groups such as Cluster, Neu! And Can"
 * There's regardless the usual problem that music genre terminology tends to evolve mostly organizally, without authoritative sources. I believe the above selection suffices to establish the existence of the term, but it does not run very far for sourcing any actual claims. Without more general sources turning up that actually assert this as a distinct concept, we will not be getting far in article-writing. And currently there's no real content in the article anyway other than a definition-by-extension. -- Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 16:16, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete no reliable sources to verfiy this. You'd expect at least something to be gleaned from the articles for Kraftwerk and Can, but nothing turns up.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 19:46, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
