[edit] Funk rock

Funk rock (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This isn't a bad article, but it appears to be completely based on original research, as it cites no sources, and has been flagged for references since 2006. There is already a funk article, and the funk rock article simply discusses some of the bands that have fused funk with rock and the subgenres that have subsequently developed. This information may be notable enough to be on Wikipedia, but I don't think this article is the place to put it, AND all of this information needs to be referenced. The article also contains an extremely long list of bands which should either be completely scrapped or converted into a list. What should be done?

• Merge to Funk. The information would serve better under one page. PeterSymonds | talk 14:58, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to Funk. A section should do it. It seems to be a list of examples of funk rock musicians, and perhaps a little in Funk will suffice to present the salvagable information in the funk rock article. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 15:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - Not necessary to merge. I believe there is sufficient widespread use of the genre term [1] to warrant its own article. It just needs to be improved with the addition of reliable sources, of which there are several. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 05:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable musical genre. Article just needs some references, which isn't a reason for deletion of an article on a notable topic. Klausness (talk) 12:53, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge to Funk. Article in question is entirely original research as I could find no reliable source defining the purported genre. Note that P. Funk and like acts were often categorized as "Funk/rock" (with slash), not as a separate style but as within the overlap of funk and rock music. B.Wind (talk) 01:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
