nomination this as per WP:OR. Yes there are hardcore punk bands in New Jersey, but I not seeing any sources that cover New Jersey hardcore as a separate movement from punk elsewhere. The article uses acronymfinder.com as a source. The page arbitrarily classifies bands into time periods (called waves) that are not backup-ed by any reliable sources.

- Delete per WP:OR. The article does not appear to use any reliable sources. Likely does not meet GNG either given the lack of sources. Tillerh11 ( talk) 13:37, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - The term "New Jersey hardcore" has actually been used by various bands in that scene to describe themselves; here is one example: [1], and others can be found online. However this is still an attempt at self-categorization in which similar bands from the same area try to promote their scene. The concept is insignificant unless it is noticed by reliable media sources in the outside world, as has happened for scenes like West Coast hip hop or Swedish death metal etc. Not so for these Jersey fellas. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 20:53, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete or redirect to hardcore punk. There is no indication of notability, just that there are hardcore bands from New Jersey. Yawn. ~ EDDY ( talk/ contribs)~ 19:58, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- No reason to redirect, there is no discussion of the topic there either and it doesn't seem to be a widely used term.-- Rusf10 ( talk) 21:05, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
