[edit] Rockers Reggae

I redirected this to reggae months ago, and someone has undone the redirect. Rockers reggae is an obscure branch of reggae that it is not noteworthy of more than a paragraph in reggae. This paragrah is all we have, and in no way recommends itself as an article, SqueakBox 20:16, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, if this article is correct it is not an obscure branch but a major one, played by many major bands. Kappa 22:38, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Maybe someone who knows about this type of reggae could expand it. e.g. what were its origins? Why did it lose popularity after the mid to late 1970s? What other branches of music evolved from it? And most importantly, what are the main differences between it and other forms of reggea? etc. etc. There's a lot of scope for expansion. Give the article a chance to grow. — P Ingerson (talk) 22:40, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete imaginary music genres. If none of the bands mentioned on this page describe their genre using this term (and none of them do) then it's not a real genre. —Wahoofive (talk) 22:57, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect whatever isn't there already to Reggae. Unless this is expanded it's not substantial enough for a breakout article. -R. fiend 01:41, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete agree with Wahoo. JamesBurns 07:13, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as imaginary genre. --FCYTravis 5 July 2005 08:15 (UTC)

• Comment Almost the identical content already exists in the main article. The article is being recreated because of a "succession box" (or whatever it is called) that's lists Rockers. The info should be removed from the box. func(talk) 8 July 2005 00:19 (UTC)

• Redirect. Merge is already accomplished/unnessesary. func(talk) 8 July 2005 00:19 (UTC)
