[edit] Move back to J-Rock from Japanese rock

I think the page name should be restored, or a discussion should take place on the naming of this article, as I rather think "J-Rock" is a very common moniker for this brand of music. 132.205.45.148 22:53, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

The current naming makes it inconsistent with Korean, Chinese, Hong Kong, Japanese music articles on Cantopop, C-pop, Mandopop, K-pop, for which J-Rock is contrasted against.

[edit] Survey

  • Oppose. While "J-Rock" and several other abbreviations are rather often used, they are abbreviation no less. Hence their articles and related categories should be titled with the full terms respecively, as it has been done with many other musical genres (i.e. EBM and NWOBHM) and every article linked in the World rock template (save for the one in question). Of course, redirecting articles for the abbreviations should always remain in place. Again, my apologies for my rather reckless approach. - Cyrus XIII, 2:15, September 2nd 2006 (CET)
  • Oppose. I think it might just barely qualify as a most-common-name (and I am usually solidly behind that convention) but in this case I think it's clearly a nickname that despite wide currency is recognized as such. We don't have articles named J.Lo or A-Rod, because in the grander scheme we know that those are just jargon used in certain contexts and not in formal ones. --Dhartung | Talk 13:18, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Alfee

As they've been around since 1973, and are one of the more well known bands in Japan, I think we should include mention of them somewhere in the article. Anyone have any ideas where? ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 23:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tagged for tone and lack of citations

The article employs a lot of unnecessary grandeur in its style (i.e. in the section headings) and does not reference any sources. The amount of actual information is also very scarce, compared to the pletora of artists mentioned in conjunction with it. Given the growing international popularity of this music, someone might be capapable of turing this into a well bodied and researched article. - Cyrus XIII, 12:09, September 16th 2006 (CET)

Seeing that over the past two months no efforts have been made to provide citations for any of the article's content, I have removed most of it (see WP:CITE, Any material that is challenged and for which no source is provided may be removed by any editor.). While this effectively reduces the article to a stub, this fresh start might provide the basis for an article up to Wikipedia policies. - Cyrus XIII 22:49, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
