Since first edit in 2009, main body text has not changed, nor have citations ever been added. Unsubstantiated assertion of notability. 2birds1stone (talk) 03:50, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

 * For what it's worth, I had originally created this as a redirect to alternative country, as there are a couple of artists out there who describe themselves as "deathcountry" (besides the person named in the article, Elliott Brood is another) — not nearly enough that the term would warrant an article of its own, obviously, but enough that it's a plausible search term which should link somewhere relevant. It was then converted to its current state by someone else sometime later. For the record, I've never seen any sourced evidence that this is generally recognized as an actual genre of music by anyone besides this small handful of artists themselves — and there's no sourcing present here either, obviously — but rather, artists who call themselves this are generally slotted as alternative country. I wouldn't necessarily object to deletion, but still think this should be a redirect to alternative country instead. Bearcat (talk) 13:15, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete: There's barely any sources. In this article and lacks information explaining if its a sub-genre of alternative country. Bleubeatle (talk) 22:44, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
