Nothing on the prose specifically about the genre is sourced and none of the sources in the articles mentions Latin dancehall as its own musical style. The prose is full of original research. I can't find anything on Billboard's Latin section or on Rolling Stone's Latin section either. Fails WP:GNG. Also want to point out that the article was created by a user that has now been blocked indefinitely for disruptive editing. EDIT: The one source that does mention "dancehall" doesn't make any references to "Latin dancehalls" and the source itself doesn't appear to comply with WP:RS.

  • Delete This is WP:OR trying to will a new genre into existence. Not one of the references mention "Latin dancehall" as a genre. The prose claims that one song created the genre, but the article linked as a reference doesn't even mention that song or artist or the supposed genre. The other two are Billboard references citing a song's chart peak, not its genre. Doc StrangeMailboxLogbook 01:06, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm finding a few references to this as a genre with Google, but nothing that is jumping out as a reliable source. I notice however that we have a category called 'Latin dancehall songs' - presumably this would also need to be deleted if this article goes. GirthSummit (blether) 14:22, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah most of them tend to be related music events rather than information about the genre. And I say delete the categories too. Erick (talk) 16:33, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
