Violates Notability Guidelines per Wikipedia:Notability (music) Sovex 20:32, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

The correct name of this genre is Hellektro. It's existent, but there is no evidence for it. --Breathtaker 20:38, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Regardless of the proper name, no authors have yet provided any non-original research that proves the existence of this term.Sovex 20:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
You know, after the deletion, the music groups in the article cannot be categorized into another article. They're neither EBM nor Darkelectro and they're no Industrial music groups. --Breathtaker 00:04, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Could someone explain why this article doesn't fit under notability guidelines? There's a list of artists that fall under this categroy of music. The list is fairly long. That seems notable to me. I think the only problem is the original research requirement - and that can just be solved by finding some citations. Ryan Brady 04:34, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
That's exactly the problem. No one has submitted anything that indicates this term is widely used (or used at all, really). Categorization means little if the genre doesn't really exist. I could write an article and call it "Spoon Rock", and create a list of artists for it. However, unless I show proof that "Spoon Rock" exists, then a list is ALL it is.
The main issue is that I and many others have commented that outside of this article, we have never heard this term. Despite that, it seems there is a contingent who keeps trying to perpetuate the term, without providing examples or citations of its usage.
Every artist on the list has a style that is not exclusive to what this term classifies. There are many other labels they can be given, many of which actually have cited examples of notability. Sovex 21:16, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
There is no other genre term for this kind of music, excerpt "Hellektro". --Breathtaker 22:12, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Feel free to make a "Hellektro" page, if you are concerned about classification. Just be sure to cite references. Sovex 22:51, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:LIST, which is the policy that really applies, or rename per Sovex. Bearian 20:42, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
