Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Retro metal
I have been watching this article for some time. It has not improved, and is still based on some sources trivially mentioning the term "retro metal" or "hipster metal", making the article |unverifiable and |original research. This is not a ''|notable'' EO|neo-/protologism. Retro ''everything'' seems to be "hip" these days, but we can't have articles to document all such usage, and Wikipedia is OT|not a vehicle to promote certain terms or bands to make them more popular. Even persons listening to the supposed bands of this genre don't use these terms. http://www.last.fm/tag/retro%20metal http://www.last.fm/tag/hipster%20metal The bands mentioned in the article were already situated in their well-documented genres (post-rock, hard rock, heavy metal), until the recent adding of "retro metal" to these bands' respective infoboxes. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Answer_%28band%29&diff=97202327&oldid=93786810 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dungen&diff=97340942&oldid=97202999 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roadstar&diff=97339128&oldid=97203336 The newly-created :Category:Retro metal and :Category:Retro metal bands should go too
