Djent

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not a single source proving that this genre exists; seems to be just the same as either math rock or progressive/groove metal. Full of original research and unverified claims.

Also just ran all the band names through the metal-archives; every single one (that had a page) was listed as either progressive metal or technical metal, the term "Djent" was not used once. ≈  The Haunted Angel  16:35, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as per nom. It's a clever coinage actually, but still a neologism/protologism, as a web search makes abundantly clear. It's not Wikipedia's job to establish genres and neologisms; we're not Urban Dictionary. Florian Blaschke (talk) 17:33, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, non-notable neologism. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 17:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per WP:SNOW. Looks like all the leg work that could be done to establish notability has been done to no avail, no need to draw this out.  Sing  Cal  07:19, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
