Another sub genre of a sub genre ...... This time the sub genre is unique because it use elements from one of the parent genres. Again not notable, not unique, another one of the endless minor and arbitrary variations on dance music. Unsourced for 5 years. Ridernyc (talk) 04:34, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia is obviously overrun by users with poor spelling and hu-uge urge to categorize everything so they can remove it so they can be notable for at least doing something other than fapping on the internets, amirite? Shadiac (talk) 20:03, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - unless any proof is brought forward showing that this is a geniune name for a genuine subgenre. The article is entirely unsourced and the waffle doesn't suggest that there is anything especially notable about this particular variety of fusion of genres... --Jubilee♫clipman 01:16, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Disco house is a fusion genre between disco and house. Checking news sources, I found an abundance of references since 1999 until two hours old, from the world round. Hereunder I bring only a very small selection. The situation in Google books is very much the same: there is very sizable amount of references in important reference books and in music magazines. Given the abundance of sources, I believe that this AfD lacks merit. gidonb (talk) 01:42, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- You can type any two words into Google and get a mountain of hits. All the sources you list show this as just that people combining 2 words. There are no sources showing the development or even describing this as a genre. Ridernyc (talk) 04:16, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- You can type "wikipedia" in Google and get into eBay selling Wikipedia usernames. Google is not an argument, neither is it a trust engine to define what is a genre and what is not. Obviously, the article deserves a chance if properly sourced. Shadiac (talk) 06:36, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry that I may have been unclear. These are not the results of a regular Google search, but independent news sources and just a handful of the huge amount there is. There are also many (reference) books that refer to the genre. gidonb (talk) 12:13, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I have referenced the article with independent, nontrivial sources. gidonb (talk) 14:14, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- DELETE. LOL @ the above, completely TLDR. If this is in fact a valid "genre fusion", whatever that means, then we need to show evidence of non-trivial coverage from reliable third party publications. JBsupreme (talk) 07:54, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It's fusion genre, not the other way around. gidonb (talk) 02:26, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete can find no independent non-trivial coverage of the musical style, does not meet WP:GNG. J04n(talk page) 10:56, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep/Rewrite — actually yeah, now it does seem to provide enough reliable sources to at least define what "disco house" is. Any other information (such as similarity with rock 'n' roll and influences) should be considered original research (Google can't help here) and removed. Shadiac (talk) 14:15, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Totally subjective and undefinable term for another music sub genre. Guyonthesubway (talk) 15:58, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect to house music. In general, if a subgenre term is in use (i.e. it is a valid search term), but not independently notable, the proper thing to do is merge and redirect to the parent genre. This can be done without taking it to AfD, as no admin-only actions are necessary. I could switch to keep if more extensive sources could be found: the ones supplied in this AfD by Gidonb are passing mentions, which is enough to demonstrate use of the term, but not necessarily enough notability for an article of its own. — Gwalla | Talk 19:36, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough. In the article I used a more direct discussion of the style. gidonb (talk) 02:21, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect If this is a likely search term it seems likely that it should go to House Music. Any merging will depend on there being some reliable sources for what is merged. So the original reasearch (if that is what it is) should be dropped.--SabreBD (talk) 10:35, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Seems non-notable enough for it. There is the song list again, and there is also a lack of sources. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 23:44, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- On second thought, there are eight sources. I wouldn't mind a redirect either. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 23:51, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
