[edit] Techmospheric

Techmospheric (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No references, and can't find any reliable sources. The drum and bass article references this as "arguably not a recognised sub-genre" which suggests it shouldn't really have an article. The term was coined by an apparently non-notable artist and the list of artists has only one notable enough for an article which doesn't mention "techmospheric" at all. Unless WP:RSs can be added I propose this be deleted. - Zeibura ^(Talk) 00:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Unsourced, neologism or possible promo for original research, and nobody associated with it appears particularly notable. KleenupKrew (talk) 12:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Made up term used by pretty much no one that shouldn't even be mentioned on Wikipedia. Wickethewok (talk) 23:32, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, not even worth a redirect it seems.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 14:26, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - no, on re-reading the sentence does a dismal job of explaining techmospheric anyway, get rid of it, I'll write something better in order to Merge into Intelligent drum and bass. In terms of sources, I could find a forum or blog post from ASC referring to "Cov Ops pushing the techmospheric sound" or whatever, but I don't think if I did that changes anything, in terms of Wikipedia, it's a niche word used mainly by its inventor(s), and certainly what is there doesn't merit a separate article. IMHO, the textual content:

Techmospheric is a new form of drum and bass that evolved from the roots of intelligent drum and bass but expands upon its formula, often adding a more dancefloor oriented approach with the types of beats and bass that are used. The sound came to fruition in 2005, after ASC coined the phrase for the type of music his Covert Operations label was releasing.

should simply be added to the other article (with a cite added), which would also serve to update that article with where the lighter / atmospheric side of d&b has gone since GLO declined as a viable force. Stevekeiretsu (talk) 11:26, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
