[edit] Notability issues
I've removed the notability tag, and provided a reference to an interview in which Alec Empire talks about the genre as being a distinct entity from the record company. Also, this article has been through AfD for notability, with the result being keep (see above). Just googling around for this indicates that it is in popular usage, only that it's too underground to easily find encyclopaedia-grade references for. -Kieran 20:33, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
One more thing: There are over 100 articles that link to this page [1], as well as versions in the German, French and Polish Wikipedias. It's pretty hard to argue that this isn't notable. -Kieran 20:42, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- One reference to a non-independent source doesn't look sufficient to establish notability to me: it's on digitalhardcore.com, after all. It's not a matter of whether or not "digital hardcore" is notable, but whether a reader can verify that it is notable via the independent (of the subject) references given in the article. This article still fails that requirement, I think, badly. I think from the WP point of view, "too underground" means "not notable". On the other hand, "digital hardcore" gets 230,000 google hits: isn't there one independent reference on the genre? Here's an article from The Village Voice: Michel, Sia, Only Death is Quiet, New York: Nov 25, 1997. Vol. 42, Iss. 47; pg. 73, 1 pgs. It doesn't say much, but it is independent, and it uses the phrase "digital hardcore" without caps twice. I guess that's something. Doctormatt 21:59, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
Could this be merged with Industrial hardcore? Are the two genres the same or similar enough to justify a merge, or should they be kept separate? Mostlyharmless (talk) 05:30, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- They should be kept separate. Digital hardcore fuses electronic music (industrial, techno, drum and bass etc) with hardcore punk. Industrial hardcore takes no influence from punk whatsoever. ...Superfopp (talk) 13:40, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Breakcore
If this article should be merged with anything, it's breakcore, which immediately evolved out of digital hardcore ... and still exists, unlike digital hardcore, which is basically a mid- to late-'90 phenomenon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.191.153.112 (talk) 14:49, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
