[edit] Neo jazz

Neo jazz (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This page was mistakenly listed at MfD. I'm relisting at AfD, as proper. The nominator's original comment was "It is a stub that does little to cover a little known or obscure genre, and has many tags for cleanup. Considering the importance of the page, it would be easier to have it deleted Snail Doom 19:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)"

I second the sentiment that the page should be deleted, if only for failing WP:V, as it lacks sources. Xoloz 16:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment I thought 'neo jazz' was simply another name for 'modern jazz'. --Malcolmxl5 16:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete No evidence this is a verified genre. Propaniac 16:50, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Modern Jazz. This definition [1] calls it a synonym of modern jazz. Nice! Totnesmartin 20:35, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to jazz. Preserve any usable content about specific artists to subsections of Jazz that discuss fusion and electronica. Wl219 21:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to jazz. The article provides little context and is likely a neologism. Ali (t)(c) 02:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to jazz. From what I can gather, neo jazz is still a fairly small genre and the article makes no attempt to establish the notability of the genre as required by notability policy. However, it may be worth adding a sentence or two about neo jazz into the main jazz article, but unless any substantial verifiable references for the genre can be found, neo jazz will never meet notability policy (note: this article should not be redirected to modern jazz because that is already a redirect to jazz). --tgheretford (talk) 15:49, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
