This article describes the terms Stonepunk, Bronzepunk, and Sandalpunk, as its primary thesis, but these terms are not in general use. The article therefore is primary research (see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, # 10) - proposing theories and defining new terms. Oliver Crow 08:36, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: Original, fractious, and only people who already know what it is will search for it. Geogre 12:47, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: original research, term "timepunk" not in general circulation. Delete sandal-punk and clockpunk for the same reasons. However, steampunk and cyberpunk are widely used, so they should stay. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:28, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I'm not going to try defending the stuff I made up, but I wonder about Clockpunk and Sandal-punk. I didn't make those up, and I think that they are starting to enter general circulation (thirty something results on Google for Clockpunk). I admit that Wikipedia is not the place to make things up (I'm sorry, I won't do it again) but Sandal-punk and Clockpunk are holding their own on the outside world, and as such have earned the right to be archived here. -Litefantastic 18:46, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Delete Timepunk, sandal-punk, and clockpunk. Neologisms of limited usage, and why does everything need its own "genre" anyway? -- Cyrius|✎ 20:29, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Article purports to discuss science fiction, which preassumes some authorship, yet (except for Jules Verne) no authors are mentioned. Delete as at best incomplete, at worst as original research. Denni☯ 23:45, 2004 Jul 3 (UTC)
- Apparently these terms were coined in a 2001 GURPS rulebook. Not widely used (Google turns up no results for clockpunk that aren't directly derived from GURPS Steampunk or Wikipedia), so delete (but, again, keep cyberpunk and steampunk). -Sean Curtin 04:42, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
