 * Keep. Nominator was pointed towards Google Books when this was deproded, where sources such as these can be found:, , , , , , . See also . May be appropriately merged to House music, but I suspect that given a little effort there will prove to be enough for a separate article. --Michig (talk) 10:30, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * You seem lost. Sources go in the article, not in the AFD. Try again. And most of those don't load for me anyway, or onlymention it trivially. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:16, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. Lots of sources discuss the genre. Binksternet (talk) 16:19, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * you mean the sources found that either don't mention it, mention it in passing, or don't even load at all? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:16, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * None of those. These. Binksternet (talk) 22:10, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Joshua Stavans, "House", in Ilan Stavans's Latin Music: Musicians, Genres, and Themes, pp. 337–38. Greenwood/ABC-CLIO 2014 ISBN 9780313343964  "While Nervous Records was exposing the world to Latin house, other labels and artists were also doing the same. Ralphie's track “Da-Me-Lo” became a huge hit in the United States and his remix of Albita's “No Parece a Nada” also saw major attention from house DJs across the United States. During the mid 1990s, Latin house was also heavily explored by the Cutting Label who signed DJ and producer Norty Cotto."

ISBN 9780195121018 "Despite the wild and woolly frontiersmanship around the edges of the idiom, later work shows that Latin house is not simply a free-for-all. The young groups recording on the small Cutting label in the late 19905 show enormous variety. But they all, in their different ways, pillage older styles—mostly Latin—for their own purposes..."

ISBN 9781858286365 "But in Washington Heights, the overwhelmingly Dominican barrio that produced them, hundreds of imitators are cropping up, performing live street shows, subway revues and house parties in the hopes of being discovered by the recording industry — which is hot right now for Latin house."

ISBN 9780814758496 "Some, such as Arena in Hollywood, target a younger clientele with a 'rave' type of atmosphere and a mix of Latin House, Rock en Español, and some more mainstream queer dance music. These types of clubs are perhaps best described as American gay bars with a Latin flavor; that is, they are very similar in most respects to mainstream gay clubs except that the majority of the patrons are Latino."
 * Ramon Rivera-Servera (2012). Performing Queer Latinidad: Dance, Sexuality, Politics, page 159. University of Michigan Press. ISBN 9780472051397 "Contemporary club music, especially Latin House and Jungle, use Latin motifs as rhythmic overlays onto contemporary pop music. For example, just like in the case of Selena's club remixes, a recent Latin house version of Pink's 'Get the Party Started' at Escuelita, a Latina/o gay club in midtown Manhattan, brought up the energy of the song with the cutting in of fast-paced percussion that looped after each repetition of the title phrase. As such, Afro-Latin rhythm functions as a global text, mass produced and circulated around the globe as a marker of latinidad."

 * I should note that it wasn't fair for me to say that none of my sources were shared with . In fact most of my sources – five of them – were the same. These are good sources which should not have been dismissed by TPH. Binksternet (talk) 23:56, 18 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep – Meets WP:GNG per a review of available souces. North America1000 04:18, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Binksternet's leg-work renders this a no-brainer. Joefromrandb (talk) 20:55, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - Passes GNG. If TPH is as concerned as he claims that the sources are in the AfD rather than in the article itself, Binksternet have provided added material that he can start to fix the issue productively. 21:18, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
