The result was delete. I realize that this will be controversial. But verifiability is an important issue here. This article appears to have been constructed by defining a genre or style and then finding things that fit that definition. For instance, I don't believe any of the games in "Dieselpunk and the gaming industry" have in fact been classified as dieselpunk by their creators or by reviewers writing in reliable sources. The same is true for many of the movies mentioned (Inglourious Basterds?). This is textbook OR/SYNTH. Moreover, while there are a large number of citations, the ones that support the 'dieselpunk' usage are not reliable sources, and the ones that are reliable sources do not support the 'dieselpunk' usage. Lacking reliable sources for defining the subject of the article, keeping the article is not a viable option. Shimeru 06:51, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
