Nu-Metal With Progressive Influences
Invented nonexistent genre. Google turns up us and one mirror of our article on Mudvayne. Therefore, appears to be original research and hence deletion material - David Gerard 17:02, 19 Mar 2005
 * I agree. Although music genres are decidedly nebulous and hard to tell whether they deserve an article (or whether they're original research, for that matter), this one seems like a clear case. Delete. T IMBO  ( T A L K )  17:43, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not an actual genre of music. DaveTheRed 17:58, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. No more a genre than Pub Rock with Doo-Wop Influences or Chinese Opera with Black Metal Influences. We can mix and match all we want but it isn't going to create a new genre that easily. -R. fiend 18:17, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Not a distinct genre of music; at least not one that can be easily distinguished from unhyphenated nu metal. How one could define Mudvayne as NMWPI, but define clearly prog-influenced bands like System of a Down, Helmet or Tool as not NMWPI simply escapes me. Delete, and merge the two bands listed here back into List of Nu metal musical groups. Bearcat 01:59, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Megan1967 02:55, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as nucruft. Chris 17:48, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
