[edit] Jazzcore

non-notable genre or better genrecruft. Only few bands play this style not even mentioned by most of the bands listed. Delete. Note: Extreme metal says that Mathcore/Jazzcore are closely related styles. A merger may be an option as well. Spearhead 22:34, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

• Merge I've heard the name bandied about a bit. Very close to genrecruft, but could probably just be merged ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 09:08, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete another page from the "Ultimate sub-sub-genre-cruft" collection. The article contains nothing except a short, scattered list of bands - not one of which is described anywhere on their own article as Jazzcore, and very few seem to come close to the one line description of Jazzcore on the page. A notable genre should have at least one notable band in it and SOMETHING to say about style, origins, evolution etc. Nothing to merge. Deizio 16:37, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
• Neutral The list mixes two fairly distinct genres, jazz bands heavily influenced by hardcore punk (eg. Naked City, Painkiller, Last Exit, Massacre), and hardcore punk bands heavily influenced by jazz (eg NOMEANSNO, Victim's Family). The latter have more in common with the Minutemen, Blackflag, Fugazi, Gang of Four, Wire and other jazz influenced, but (arguably) not overtly jazzy punk bands, than they do with the first group of bands. There are many very important bands on this list, certainly above the threshold of notability, but the central thesis of the article (such as it exists) is not well supported.

• Delete Not even the geners templates took it. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 21:15, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
