[edit] List of emo groups

Delete - Ambiguous use of the term emo, follows no definitive guidelines for classification of this music genre, many definitions exist and are not agreed upon regarding the word "emo"- this article does not specify which definition of emo it is referring to; there are better lists that exist on Wikipedia that are more clear as to their content and better represent the genre Yakwhacker 18:44, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with List of emo bands. Kappa 18:59, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as per Kappa. Capitalistroadster 19:27, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and I leave the endless bickering about what constitutes "emo" to those who care.-Isotope23 19:35, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

After reading Chris's post below, I've reconsidered. I'm not sure List of emo bands is the best place for a merge anyway given the layout of that page. Of course any emo list is going to be a constant edit war by the nature of the label. Abstain for now and strongly endorse using categories instead of more arbitrary lists.--Isotope23 14:27, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - We should be using categories for this. Additionally, this nomination is disingenuous, given that Yakwhacker created List of emo bands this month, while this article has existed for six months. He should have edited this article and/or moved it. Additionally, how does creating "List of emo bands" solve the "problems" that he's addressing in his argument for deletion? -- ChrisB 21:09, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as this should be a category. Not particularly opposed to a merge. Stifle 01:00, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge both into List of emo musical groups. Shouldn't delete categories and list serve different purposes. Bands that don't have articles yet cannot be included in a category (Category:Emo musical groups). --Vizcarra 17:31, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
