Should any of the articles: Rap rock, Rap metal, Rapcore be merged into a general article? --neon white talk 23:39, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No they are three different genres and wikipedia with its articles should not be general. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weezerfan1 (talk • contribs) 19:36, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is no evidence of that and evidence to the contrary. In fact, wikipedia encourages more encompassing articles where there is a subject overlap. --neon white talk 19:58, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is a lot of evidence, just none that fits your POV. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 01:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Rather than arguing back and forth, Ibaranoff, why not share all this evidence with us? I have yet to see it, why are you holding out on us? Landon1980 (talk) 03:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Editors have repeatedly asked for this allusive evidence and have been either met with accusations or simply blanked. Maybe you are not understanding what is required here (although it has been explained several times) simply pointing to articles that contain various terms being used is not evidence that these genres are of sufficient difference to justify seperate articles on very similar subjects, we need an explaination of the major difference and if in fact this is not possibly and there is no significant evidence we can merge two poor articles into one good article and improve wikipedia by doing so. I cannot understand the objection to this routine process. --neon white talk 14:33, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am through with you two. If you do not focus on the edits, content, and sourcing, instead of repeatedly making the same needless, untrue accusations over and over again, I will not respond to you. You two are clearly being disruptive and unhelpful, and have no intentions of improving Wikipedia. The articles in question are not "poor". They are perfectly fine, considering the limited coverage of these genres, which is understandable considering the fact that the subgenres rap metal and rapcore lack mainstream appeal (a related genre, acid rap, has a similarly small article).

No-one is making accusations aside from yourself. Those involved have asked multiple times for you to provide sources to back up your assertions, we been more than patient in waiting for sources that may be important to the decision but waiting indefinitely in not an option and at this point it doesnt seem likely that they will be provided. If these sources do not existed please say so and we can continue the discussions without needlessly stalling on this point. There is no reason why you cannot be heavily involved in either imporving these article or in creating a good quality general article on rap/rock fusions. --neon white talk 18:06, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reason why you cannot stop making false accusations, and insulting others who do not share your point of view. There is clearly enough sources for separate articles. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 21:22, 6 July 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Nobody is doing that but you. All other editors are being very reasonable. The sources do not exist or you wouldnt be so reluctant to provide them, i think that has been established. --neon white talk 22:17, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
