[edit] Nintendocore

Neologism, of the (random word)-core variety. No evidence of use that I could find; 209 unique hits (including usernames and non-English stuff) on Google, and the Wikipedia article comes up as the second hit. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 08:11, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, barely-used neologism. Proto t c 08:44, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Gamewave. That's the term I've heard for this kind of music. flowersofnight 09:40, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep or redirect -- my google shows 519 hits, jeeves 800+, alta vista 1250+. 90% using the word in reference to music. Maybe a minor genre, but a genre it is. Eaglizard 13:05, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as per A Man In Black. -- Kjkolb 14:03, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Legitimate classification, and distinct from Gamewave, which is an electronic, not a hardcore, subgenre. Page links to a number of entries for bands belonging to the subgenre. Irrelevant that Wikipedia article comes up high on the Google hit list: if this were grounds to remove an article, then we should also delete entries such as Jew, Liberia and Utilitarianism. -- Mrmooky 14:58, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
    • I'm not arguing that this isn't a distinct genre (I'm not qualified), but instead I don't see any evidence that this article isn't a neologism or original research. Can you link to an example of this term in use? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 15:11, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nominator CDC (talk) 19:35, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge the list of bands (minus the wikilinks on some of the less popular ones) and redirect to gamewave. --Jacquelyn Marie 04:32, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
  • keep please it is a real music genre we should not erase it Yuckfoo 00:00, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Can you present any evidence of use of this term? I'm naturally suspicious of "something-core" genres, but I admit I don't know much about the subject. I just couldn't find any evidence of use of the term, and the bands listed don't describe themselves as "Nintendocore". - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 00:31, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
    • I was at a underground music festival in London not so long ago, with DJ Scotch Egg headlining which was billed as a "nintendocore" night...I'll try and root out the ticket/flyer later on tonight. Sludgegrinder (talk) 18:47, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete neologism not found in the wild. Pete.Hurd 06:03, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a legit classification/genre of music Sludgegrinder (talk) 18:47, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
