 * Comment. The article needs lots of work.
 * Last.fm has a page about them.
 * Team Rock has a page about them.
 * Discogs has a page about them.
 * iTunes carries their album.
 * Exit Music has a page about them.
 * There was a write-up about them in Serbian Metal Portal in December 2015.
 * If someone can find one more write-up about the band then we have something. Binksternet (talk) 23:48, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm a native speaker, and I investigated a bit. They existed, they held concerts, but even taking into account the small niche of the genre, there is precious little to base an article on. Apart from the serbian-metal.org reference, which is pretty decent, this is the most I found, a short 3-band concert report in an online zine, with one sentence praising the band's performance.

 * Sorry,, but that's how things work here – WP:V is one of core tenets of Wikipedia, and it expressly says that Its content is determined by published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. On the contrary, we aren't ruled by double standards: the bottom line is, you have (relatively significant) media coverage → you may have a Wikipedia article.

 * Hi, Stevan, thanks for staying with this conversation. The way genres work at Wikipedia is not by smart guys like yourself and myself getting together to discuss the music and its style and context. Rather, the genres come from reliable sources such as music critics. So if we find that most reliable sources say Korn is nu metal then that's what we put down. Wikipedia is not supposed to be a music analysis site like AllMusic or Sputnikmusic. Instead, Wikipedia simply summarizes the stuff that's already published. The best you can do to connect Korn and the groove metal genre is to find reliable sources that make this connection, and cite those sources in the articles and in discussions on the talk pages of articles.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * This was my clumsy attempt to make my first article and it should be deleted. I'm sorry if I caused any trouble. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StevanPetrov (talk • contribs) 17:39, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
