Possible neologism, not a great deal of sources to be found to assert any sort of notability, some are contradictory which suggest a lack of a definitive genre. Doesnt seem to be improved or anymore notable since the last time it was deleted. Still lacks sources. neon white user page talk 03:14, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, its a neologism, but one that appears to be in reasonably wide use. Has been defined a couple of times:, , mostly in relation to HORSE the band.  Lankiveil (talk) 04:44, 30 December 2007 (UTC).
 * Does that make it a notable genre? The Herald calls it a 'tag' which suggests neologism to me. I'm not sure how reliable a student newspaper can be considered in determining a genre's notability. They tend to have narrow perspective and not always represent the broader world. The articel stills requires extensive work and removal of potential OR. -- neon white user page talk 14:58, 30 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep per other nominations, and availability of sources. Master of Puppets Care to share?  04:51, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, possible merge if an intelligent target can be suggested. There are many names in current use for what is essentially the same genre of music; they should all probably be combined into a single, well-sourced article on the subject. Chubbles (talk) 04:58, 30 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep -- this does exist as an emerging genre. Guroadrunner (talk) 06:09, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * That doesnt make it notable. -- neon white user page talk 14:59, 30 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. This has nominated almost daily I'm feeling a strong sense of deja vu. Several groups in this genre such as NESkimos, Hadouken! (who are signed to an imprint of Atlantic Records and had a top 40 in the UK) and Colon Open Bracket have been written about in major music and video gaming magazines and websites. Hell, I found newspaper article about a group in this genre and talks about the genre.. Doc Strange (talk) 02:52, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The article doesn't really describe a music genre. It uses the term in quotation marks. Alot of the bands claimed to belong to this genre have very little sources linking them to it. Remember the article needs enough sources to assert it's notability, not just the odd trivial mentioned here and there. -- neon white user page talk 23:52, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Dang, are you just trying to shoot down everyone assertions for notability to make a point? How in the deuce do you claim that the NESkimos don't have sources linking to the genre? or HORSE the Band? or Colon Open Bracket (who on a major label)? Doc Strange (talk) 05:11, 1 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. Term appears to have fairly widespread usage. I just also have to say that I used to know the drummer from Colon Open Bracket personally and it's coincidental that someone should mention them in an AfD like this. The band's not yet notable enough for a Wikipedia article though despite being signed to a major label.-h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 13:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
