Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hands up (music genre)
fails  and the description is way too vague to be able to determine exactly what this music "genre" actually is – indeed, searching around the internet tends to throw up posts on Reddit and dance music forums asking for a definition of hands up, which suggests that nobody really knows. I wouldn't redirect it to hardstyle for two reasons: firstly, the article the nominator links to is just one person's definition, and he is a freelance contributor to a non-notable online dance website (I can't determine whether the website is a blog or not... I can see that the founders started it up during their university studies, and all the contributors are enthusiastic freelancers with little or no professional journalistic credentials). Secondly, most people seem to link hands up more to trance or Eurotrance than hardstyle. There's even a Facebook post here https://de-de.facebook.com/FutureTranceOfficial/posts/10151462295949514 which states authoritatively that hands up is actually an umbrella term encompassing almost every style of music that music you want to throw your hands in the air. With such vagueness surrounding the term and no credible sources defining it, deleting seems to be the only option
