Click house

Template:La (delete) – (View log)

An unreferenced stub that appears to be original research about a sub-genre of music. The article says this name may not be recognised in the 'mainstream', and finishes "It very closely relates to a form of electronic music called Microhouse. Some would argue it is indistinguishable."

Delete it. It's not real and it's made up. Besides, it's another name for microhouse. Noble12345 (talk) 23:00, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

• I did find a few sources. passing mention, very passing mention, somewhat more coverage in the Austin American-Statesmen but hidden behind an access fee, passing mention identifying click house as german, etc. I looked at several pages of news search results, most of which weren't about the genre but maybe 10 were. The common thread was that they all just name-drop the genre as some hip techno thing but provide no useful coverage. The one exception is the Austin American-Statesmen article, except all I can see of it is "he won a Grammy in Sweden, and he's one of the pioneers of the 'click' house genre, which applies the jittery..." maybe if we could see the full article that would establish some notability. But this doesn't seem to be the typical made-up-genre Wikipedia article, there's a good 10 years of sources using this term at least in passing. Nevertheless, keeping the article requires more than passing mentions. --Rividian (talk) 23:21, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
• I'm telling you it's fake. It's another name for Microhouse. This thing should be deleted. Delete it now! Noble12345 (talk) 23:42, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, mainly because of the lack of even marginally citeable sources on the subject. It does appear to be a real term, but a handful of passing mentions aren't enough to write an article about it, which leaves us with a choice between deleting the article or keeping an article with original research or misinformation. No prejudice to recreation if sources do exist. --Delirium (talk) 00:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

• Keep, how about some of you ask someone who actually works in the music feild and knows about su-genres. Click House exists. Definitly. This sub-genre is not made up. Instead of deleting, how about some reaserch be done about it, and a better page be written? —Preceding unsigned comment added by PaulGIOMann (talk • contribs) 02:12, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
• Comment I don't really have a dog in this race, but a little history may explain the nomination. User:Noble12345 nominated it for speedy deletion as "no context". User:Noble12345 is now blocked as a sockpuppet of User:Fclass (who is known to target electronic music articles). I asked the deleting admin, User:Harro5, to restore it, since the deletion was clearly out of process. They then nominated it for AfD, inadvertently and unwittingly proxying for the disruptive user. I think this nom should probably be withdrawn. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 15:16, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
