[edit] Dieselpunk

Neologism invented for a RPG (Children of the Sun). Seems to have had no real use outside that, despite this voluminous article, which is as far as I can tell wholly original research. Delete —Matthew Brown (T:C) 06:58, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

  • This is a tough one. This doesn't really fit in to either steampunk or cyberpunk. --King of All the Franks 07:01, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
    • We don't have articles on genres that should exist. Create the movement first, make the Wikipedia entry only then. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 07:03, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
      • Well, where should we put the material in the article? --King of All the Franks 07:07, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
        • The material that isn't original research is a single paragraph. Place information either in Children of the Sun or Steampunk, which is where all this started. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 07:09, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
          • I've taken another look and it appears you're right. There seems to be no professional evidence for this, so I guess I'll go with you on this one. --King of All the Franks 07:12, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Agree with nominator, Google only returns hits about this RPG, this is a whole genre created ex nihilo possibly to promote sales. Endomion 07:06, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. --King of All the Franks 07:12, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this with the others punk pages. Flyboy Will 09:41, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, with other punk pages Sceptre (Talk) 12:52, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete As far as being a literary genre is concerned, there are no citeable sources and the content is not verifiable. Some of this information could be placed in the Children of the Sun article, but it does not warrant an article on its own. Avogadro94 14:37, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete The non-original work here and with the other literary punk genres up for deletion might have a place in a section of Cyberpunk. --Ccranium 15:02, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unverifiable, non-notable science fiction genre that doesn't seem to exist outside of a role-playing game. Its application to literature, film, and other media is a clear case of original research. - EurekaLott 15:05, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I agree with all points made. --Daveadams 15:42, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Agreed -- the portion of this article that is not original research belongs under Children of the Sun. redfox 15:46, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Google search seems to show it gaining currency, and it's a valid descriptor.Bjones 15:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete This is a joke that has gone very wrong. --J13 18:03, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep But the list of movies needs to be removed completely - "punk" is not a synonym for "era." A lot of those movies, maybe even the majority, have little or no "punk" theme whatsoever - the original author claimed that Night Of The Living Dead was dieselpunk, for crying out loud. - Anonymous 12:14, 23 December 2005
  • Neutral on this one. rodii 20:55, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Being the author of this article I wish it to be deleted. Piecraft 21:45, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all this punkcruft. We should have listed all of these into a consolidated AfD. Jamie (talk/contribs) 02:59, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, or at least merge with cyberpunk or Children of the Sun. The concept has merit beyond the RPG that introduced it. Google reflects its growing use. ScottHardie 02:40, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep Just becasue some punkcraft articles are nonsense doesn't mean there are only two genres Johhny-turbo 20:32, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dieselpunk

From speedy. "Reposted content". I can't find the original. r3m0t talk 21:38, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep I do not see why this article should be deleted under the particular circumstances given by r3m0t - as far as I can say the article is relevant in considering the term which is perhaps new but as can be seen on the net is a popular term. E.Deranged 22:08, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge to Children of the Sun (game). Unverifiable & non-notable per previous deletion debate. NicM 22:52, 17 January 2006 (UTC).
  • Speedy delete. This version is close to a word-for-word copy of the deleted article and is the sole contribution of User:E.Deranged. - EurekaLott 23:09, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and Merge per NicM. --Terence Ong 10:55, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete, though some information can be moved to Children of the Sun (game)- See previous deletion debate. Avogadro 14:30, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep or Merge - I have added the relevant sources and information and merged into the Children of the Sun (game) article as per Avogadro's suggestion. 87.80.126.226 00:58, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, consider a redirect. Radiant_>|< 20:21, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
