I propose that [[Marc Bamuthi Joseph]] be merged into this article, hip-hop theater. MBJ was split from hip-hop theater two weeks ago. As demonstrated by MBJ's [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marc_Bamuthi_Joseph&action=history history], very little content has been added to the article since it was created to justify splitting it off in the first place. Hip-hop theater was only 17K before the split so the small size of the parent article (this article) does not justify splitting off MBJ either. Per [[WP:SS]] ''"A <b>fuller treatment<b>'' *emphasis mine* ''of any major subtopic should go in a separate article of its own... If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject <b>does not qualify for a separate page</b>'' *emphasis mine*, ''but should instead be merged <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Merging> into an article about a larger topic or relevant list."'' For these reasons, I am proposing that Marc Bamuthi Joseph be turned into a redirect and the content merged back into the parent article here. Since MBJ is so small, there also won't be any problems concerning undue [[WP:WEIGHT]] either.

Merger proposal
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- The result was merge into Hip-Hop Theater. -- Gbern3 (talk) 16:34, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
I created this article last week and I'm proposing that hip hop theatre be merged into it. Since late July I've been in the process of doing a complete overhaul of the hip-hop dance article (this is what it looked like before) and I noticed that the theater section was becoming rather large. So in order to follow WP:SS policy, I created this article, hip-hop theater, and copy-and-pasted the original section from the dance article here. The problem is that there is already a page for this but it's called hip-hop theat"re". After I finished this page (theatER) I did a google search to see if it would come up and the other page (theatRE) was listed in the results. I honestly did not know that it existed but since both pages are here now, I'm proposing that the theatRE article be merged into this one since this page is longer and has references. Feel free to contribute to this discussion. Gbern3 (talk) 16:21, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- I forgot to add that merging would prevent duplication and divergence of content also. Gbern3 (talk) 17:21, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Support I tend to prefer British English spelling. Otherwise looks like a righteous merge to me.Simonm223 (talk) 17:44, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Support I see no problem with this merger, so long as a redirect preserves the alternative spelling so people using the BE and AE spellings arrive in the same place. Jo7hs2 (talk) 00:25, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
- Comment I agree. I would rather do a redirect than to delete the page with the BE spelling. Gbern3 (talk) 00:46, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Merger proposal II
I propose that Marc Bamuthi Joseph be merged into this article, hip-hop theater. MBJ was split from hip-hop theater two weeks ago. As demonstrated by MBJ's history, very little content has been added to the article since it was created to justify splitting it off in the first place. Hip-hop theater was only 17K before the split so the small size of the parent article (this article) does not justify splitting off MBJ either. Per WP:SS "A fuller treatment *emphasis mine* of any major subtopic should go in a separate article of its own... If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject does not qualify for a separate page *emphasis mine*, but should instead be merged <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Merging> into an article about a larger topic or relevant list." For these reasons, I am proposing that Marc Bamuthi Joseph be turned into a redirect and the content merged back into the parent article here. Since MBJ is so small, there also won't be any problems concerning undue WP:WEIGHT either. 132.3.17.68 (talk) 04:16, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
