Change to Dubtronic

I've heard about Dubgtronic, yes, but Dubtronica sounds not alright.

To PROD dubtronica article

I suggest PRODding this article. There are several reason reasons for doing so:

Google.Books returns 1 search result for "Dubtronica" request, and that result is a trivial note on this term: [1]
I've surfed through first five pages of search results on the term and Google and found only trivial mentions of this term.
The article itself states that dubtronica is not "universally accepted" as term. This self-critiquous remake, however, sounds like original research as there's no citation provided for it.
The article's titular sentence states that dubtronica mixes electronica and dub in a subtle way. However, it never further explains what that subtle way is.
The term is incredibly vague, as dub is electronic music par excellence since the point of its creation.
Electronica is not a particular genre of music, that makes the term dubtronica even more vague.
The article linked at the end of this article is both of doubtful notability and still seems the only source of information for this mythical genre -- Appletangerine un (talk) 13:02, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dubtronica? For real?

And I was starting to think that minimal dub techno was stretching it and now this? Pretty soon, every electronic track is going to have it's own genre. I say delete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blackfeathor (talk • contribs) 03:01, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon but where does bullshit like this originates?

Everyone knows we are talking DUB TECHNO here -- an universally recognized term used by labels, artists, promoters, word on the street, Discogs and record shops. I've been into this sound since mid-nineties and reading a whole lot on it -- and this is the first time I hear DUBTRONICA -- you gotta be kidding?! Wikipedia is not a place for your inventions or preferences it's about plain straightforward facts. Someone change the title please, I'm so ashamed. Z99 (talk) 21:28, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, so the Google says: about 257,000 for dubtechno / about 233,000 for "dub techno" / about 26,100 for dubtronica

Apparently there's more to it than I initially thought. This article incorporates few rather unrelated things.. Dubtronica may deserve it's own page but it seems to be a very niche concept revolving around a specific forum and the article used as citation uses "dubtronica" in a quotes as about being unsure of the term. I'd need to rewrite this now and probably split the information onto 2 pages albeit interlinked. However it requires much more time and effort than I can afford at the moment especially considering the explosion of dub techno in the last few years..
