Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dieselpunk (3rd nomination)
Issues with |original research, |verifiability, and |notability are best handled by editing adding tags, removing uncited/poorly cited material.  If that leaves a stub or something that needs merging or deleting it can be brought up then.  The claim that "It attempts to retroactively place creative works into a genre when their creators had no intent to do so, or likely any knowledge of it" is confusing intent & result.  If citable experts say that something was "the beginings of" a genre, "show signs of what was to become" a genre or are "proto"-genre then add them.  Creators often refuse labels because they like to see themselves as unique or are too close to their own work.  Deletion is not the answer, work is.  If you think this article needs deletion, remove bad citation, add cite tags, remove bad content, if you think it needs keeping find better citations.  Once that's been done we will be in a better position to decide what to do with it
