[edit] Oshare kei
On May 30, 2007, this article was deleted and redirected to another page. Officially it was "merged" - but none of the information was merged into article Visual Kei as stated in the edit summary. Per the WP deletion policy, merging is described as "Articles that are short and unlikely to be expanded can often be merged into a larger article or list."
The information was not merged because the user felt the information should be deleted per WP:V WP:OR (following taken from Wikipedia:Deletion policy:
- Article information that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources
- All attempts to find reliable sources in which article information can be verified have failed
Per WP:Music: A mere claim of significance, even if contested, may avoid speedy deletion under A7, requiring a full proposed deletion or Article for Deletion process to determine if the article should be included in Wikipedia.
Therefore I am requesting a formal proposal for deletion of this page, as it has been formally requested to "merge" this article and delete the content contained once again.
Oshare Kei is a sub-set of Visual Kei. You will need to look at old edits of this article to find references, (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oshare_kei&oldid=146946006) because the references have been removed. You will also need to look at old edits of Visual Kei to find any information on it - Cyrus XIIi has not allowed any edits to the Visual Kei page since January 2007, including simple things like adding a stub tag.
If you do a google search, you will find most the references to Oshare Kei will be on blogs, community boards, and fan pages. (Be careful, you will also find many copies of page on other wikis, that information should not be taken into account). You can also try searching for information on some of the bands - such as Antic Cafe. Every sentence has been sourced to remove all traces of potential "original research" Denaar 19:27, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete for lack of sources, WP:V, even if this style (or whatever) were notable (WP:N). This is even though I do not quite understand what the submitter means to say in the above text. Sandstein 20:25, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oshare_kei&oldid=146787958 <-- You would need to look here to find the sources, under the current edit they were removed. Justification of each source is given on the talk page.Denaar 20:38, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, per WP:V/WP:OR and probably WP:N. - Cyrus XIII 21:23, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- ...and redirect to Visual kei, for reader convenience. - Cyrus XIII 22:50, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete or Merge with Visual kei. If the subject matter is not notable, it should be deleted. If it is notable, it should be kept and merged like the Japanese version of the Visual Kei page. Denaar 12:12, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Merge and Redirect to Visual kei per reasons given above. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 08:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
