• Merge into cyberpunk as a lesser-known neologism, or redirect. Ashibaka tock 02:20, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. "Cyberpunk without the punk" is more generally known as science fiction. -Sean Curtin 22:21, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
  • But 'cyberpunk' also refers to a certain bunch of technological developments. Ashibaka tock 02:33, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Also cyberpunk takes place almost exclusivly on earth, and life is surrounded by technology, in normal sci-fi there can still be frontiers, like Tattoine. Johhny-turbo 18:18, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge Cyberpunk is a dystopia which conforms to the "punk" view that this world is a dystopia. Cyberprep is not a dystopia and there fore is not punk Johhny-turbo 18:18, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge. As the person who created this article, I would prefer it continued to exist since it wasn't original research. I've provided the missing reference. However, I would have no problem with seeing it merged with the Cyberpunk article if the consensus leads to that opinion. --Loremaster 00:23, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: Google: "Results 8,490,000 for cyberpunk; Results 48,600 for Postcyberpunk; Results 1,410,000 for Steampunk; Results 539 for cyberprep." One of these things is not like the other. No serious writer, editor, critic, or academic, inside or outside the field, seriously uses the term "cyberprep."
