Neologism made up by DJ Spooky, no development history, no clear description of a style. Just a word someone made up and a description of that person career. Ridernyc (talk) 10:29, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I despise rap music and even I have heard of this. It's best to Google something before you conclude that it's "just a word someone made up". It's in books and news and everywhere else. I first ran across it in the horror film Bones. Mandsford (talk) 13:33, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- none of them describe it past a neologism, as you will notice most of them put quotes around the word "Illbient", also if you look you will find sources like this one which baiscally call it a poorly defined neologism [1]. Nearly every source is about DJ Spooky and his "scene" not really about a genre. This is all more appropriate in an article about DJ Spooky. Ridernyc (talk) 14:52, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Plenty of coverage for this genre. — Gwalla | Talk 19:28, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I google searched and found that there was no shortage of results. I find it notable enough. The number of sources on the wikipedia article itself should increase. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 03:55, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
