@Qaqaamba: Do you have a reliable source that states that Freebeat (Cruise) is a derivative genre of Afrobeats? I did not read this info in any of the sources cited in the Freebeat (Cruise) section. This particular section is supposed to discuss the Freebeat (Cruise) genre. The way you currently have it, it is about a compilation album by a record label called MOVES Recordings.

@Versace1608 the paragraph doesn't explicitly state that it's discussing a derivative genre; rather, it focuses on fusion, particularly the amalgamation of afrobeats with other genres.in the "Freebeat" or "Nigerian cruise scope" - the section is titled, Afrobeats#Fusion and derivative genres. There's no prescribed manual or layout dictating how the genre should be approached or documented. If the compilation highlights and showcases publications of the genre as historically significant, especially as the first of its kind, I fail to see what the issue is.

Answer my question. Do you have a reliable source that states that Freebeat (Cruise) is a fusion/derivative genre of Afrobeats? Look at the other genres in the section. All of them discusses the respective genre; they are not about a non-notable compilation album released by a non-notable record label. If you do not provide a reliable source that specifically states that Freebeat (Cruise) is a fusion/derivative genre of Afrobeats, I will be removing the section all together.

Response seems very personal? Since when is a London-based independent record label that artsists for instance such as Naira Marley are signed to been considered non-notable (according to whom and what)? A newly emerging genre or sub-genre is undoubtedly noteworthy. In this case per sources blended with afrobeats. I fail to understand the issue. Qaqaamba (talk) 15:21, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Create an article about Moves Recording and the compilation album they released and let's see if it won't get deleted. You have failed to answer my question like always. When I get to a computer, I will be remove the section. A compilation album released by Moves Recording isn't vital to the Afrobeats article. The section should be about the genre, not the compilation album. Versace1608Wanna Talk? 17:34, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am not interested in your topic diverging, irrelevant or fight-bait chats. I've provided additional context regarding the genre and the significance of the compilation. At present, there are no articles for MOVES Recordings or cruise and according to WP: MNA, this compilation marks the genre's initial compilation. The inclusion of the other two songs mentioned aligns with the scope of being the genre's first published bodies of work, featuring afrobeats artists like Portable and Olamide. Should you choose to remove it, I will add it back in. Qaqaamba (talk) 17:46, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
