An article was deleted in 2007, and this new article is unreferenced and doesn't resolve the problems which led to the original deletion. It doesn't seem to be a widely recognised or defined music genre. Peter E. James (talk) 00:01, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MADEUP.  Lugnuts  (talk) 08:38, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. While things like Nerdcore do exist (and it is awesome, tell your friends), this particular article does not have sources that show that this genre even exists.  Most of the examples given in the article seem to be not of nerd themes, but of high-fantasy themes, which are a common theme in many genres of metal. - SudoGhost&trade; 22:15, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Note A similar (but not identical) article already exists for "Nerdy rock/metal" at Nintendocore. - SudoGhost 14:00, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - Not a recognized sub-genre, bottom line. Carrite (talk) 18:20, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
