What Is Emo

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is completely redundant to the Emo article. Most of its content is unreferenced, and the only 2 references it does have are already used in the Emo article. It had a few other references earlier, but none of them could be considered reliable as they consisted of personal websites, blogs, etc. Merging and/or redirection are not suitable options. There is nothing useful that could be merged into Emo, as it merely repeats information that is already in that article. The title "What Is Emo" is a highly unlikely search term given that we already have an Emo article, and of course Wikipedia is not Ask.com. IllaZilla (talk) 23:31, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. There's nothing here that isn't already covered in Emo. TheLetterM (talk) 23:49, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Pure abuse of encyclopedia space. Basically a FAQ. Why is it that self declared emos have such a difficultly grasping the basic guidelines of wikipedia? They are constantly spamming talk:emo with meaningless pep-talkish tirades. Zazaban (talk) 01:05, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as redundant with Emo. (And can I get a WP:NPA on the !votes here? Don't hate the editor, hate the page.) - EronTalk 02:26, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I endorse this comment. Plz comment on the article itself not on who wrote it. --Enric Naval (talk) 05:24, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete already covered by Emo. Nothing to merge, all content is unsourced and/or OR, would have to be re-written from scratch. --Enric Naval (talk) 05:24, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Emo. I agree that this is not a plausible search term, but the nominator merged a reference from What Is Emo to Emo, so we have to keep the redirect for WP:GFDL purposes. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 06:14, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, we don't. I didn't merge a source, I added the same source to the emo article in an appropriate place. Merging would be if I had taken the text accompanying that reference and moved it to the emo article as well. This is not a GDFL issue. --IllaZilla (talk) 07:38, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * What is Snow Unless we want to have What is articles for several other subjects (sort of a Jeopardy Wikipedia), there is really no reason for this article. Eauhomme (talk) 06:29, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: redundant content, insufficient 3rd party coverage. JamesBurns (talk) 07:18, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
