The result was delete. Closing this; irredeemably non-notable and promotional. Drmies (talk) 02:29, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Epicstep

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

essentially promotional article (check the creator name) with nothing to suggest that the term has any broad currency. TheLongTone (talk) 15:19, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per WP:NOTNEO. Appears to be made up genre by a musician who uses it to describe his own work. No need to merge because it's already all over his own page. I don't think a redirect is particularly warranted either - I don't think it's a very likely search term - the artist himself is probably a borderline case for Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

Actually, upon closer inspection, the artists page was speedy deleted in 2015 and recreated just today. Sergecross73 msg me 02:36, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and The Siren (artist) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) too. – Athaenara ✉ 16:03, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'd agree with this too. Just to clarify the connection for the closing admin, and any other future participants: The Siren (artist) is a music artist who claims to have invented the music genre of Epicstep. Both articles are both very overly-promotional in tone, and both were created by a user who openly admitted to being the manager of "The Siren". Both are big WP:COI/WP:PROMOTION issues.
