Soul metal

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No reliable sources. MTV source doesn't mention the phrase and the other source is a blog with reader submissions. Nothing on google to make it anything more than an obscure niche term. Nothing in the article is sourced. Follows user's pattern of making articles about made up music genres. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 19:41, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not a recognized genre. Potential WP:NOTNEO issue. Not meeting the WP:GNG regardless. Sergecross73 msg me 20:04, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also of note - judging by the article creator's talk page, he seems to have a long history of creating non-notable/fake genre articles that get deleted. Sergecross73 msg me 20:09, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not a valid subgenre. Carrite (talk) 15:51, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
