Postgenre

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable, poorly defined, and probably at least partially WP:MADEUP plenty of hits on the term but with no real definition it's more of a neologism. Ridernyc (talk) 01:39, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:NEOLOGISM. And there really aren't "plenty of hits" on the term, only 173, of which quite a few are Wikipedia mirrors, things that have nothing to do with the concept this article describes, etc.  Book results, like this one, seem generally to use "postgenre" not as some specific concept, but only to mean "after (some genre that was being discussed)."  Results like this and this do seem like they might support the article.  However, it is not clear that these authors are talking about the same thing; to the extent they may be, the concept is very ill-defined; and notwithstanding these mentions it remains the case that "postgenre" does not appear to have been the subject of significant coverage in any reliable source.

 * Comment more info the article was originally created by someone using the same name as one of the three bands originally mentioned in the article. Pretty clear self promotion. Since then it was taken up after a few years latter by one editor, who can not source the article because his sources are myspace pages and bots keep removing them, I'm reasonably sure this article has been edited almost exclusively by people with a promotional COI.
