Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Detroit hip hop
I have no opinion or knowledge of the genre but the article seems to be a blatant violation of  and . Everything in the article seems to be a |synthesis of available material put together by the author(s) of the article in order to advance a position. We should be able to |verify through |reliable sources that such a genre exists as well as that the history of emergence is correct and that the artists listed in the article truly do belong within the scope of what's described. The use of :Image:Avis&Elsmer.jpg is also in violation of OR and POV in that it is nothing more than a picture of a building being falsely described as an obvious inspiration for a whole genre of music. This article is more suitable for a newspaper or a magazine rather than an encyclopedia. The genre may well exist but this article fails Wikipedia's core policies and guidelines and should be deleted and rewritten from scratch if and when it can be sourced properly
