Pop Metal

Pop metal was already deleted through an Afd and has been recreated and deleted many times since. The page has also been used as a redirect to glam metal and nu metal. However, the article was recently recreated as Pop Metal and the creator insists on having it as its own article, rather than redirecting to glam metal. Note that although there are three accounts and two IP's involved in editing the article / reverting, these share a very similar contribution history.

The article seems nothing but the creator's essay, original research and personal view on the term "pop metal", failing WP:OR, WP:V and WP:NPOV. It also heavily overlaps with the glam metal article. I don't think we need to consider every 80's term for glam metal/rock as a separate Wikipedia-notable genre, be it hair/pop/sleaze or whatever. Since there is quite a lot of text, some content, if verified, can maybe be merged to glam metal instead. Prolog 03:47, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
