Aggrotech

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

There is no other genre term for this kind of music, excerpt "Hellektro". --Breathtaker 22:12, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Keep per WP:LIST, which is the policy that really applies, or rename per Sovex. Bearian 20:42, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
