Quantum genre

Extremely skeptical of this topic having any notability whatsoever, given that the provided sources all appear to be of a self-published nature. Had tagged for speedy, disputed by IP. Article creator had username 'vulea' and the first item on list of references is written by a 'V. Ulea', so it has crossed my mind that there's some conflict of interest issues here, too.

 * Delete per above. A search doesn't bring up anything to show that this is anything other than a neologism used to describe a specific set of works. It doesn't appear to actually be used by anyone or really discussed anywhere that would be a RS. D. Harlan Wilson did mention this in a 2010 blog post but at the same time it was in relation to some stories he was publishing in one of V. Ulea's books so it's primary at best. Considering that the article claims that Ulea came up with this concept in 2008, the almost complete lack of coverage and mentions of this genre shows that the attempt to coin this as a new genre never caught on and as such this just isn't notable enough to warrant an article. Sometimes trying to create a new genre works (new adult fiction), sometimes it doesn't. In this case it didn't. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   06:10, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
