I proposed in 2008 for this article to be merged with jazz fusion, and although several editors protested against it, no one provided a reasonable argument. So now I'm proposing the deletion of this article, or redirection to jazz fusion. It is original research without a single source. Warning templates have been staying in the article since 2008, and no improvement has been made. Λeternus (talk) 09:42, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Completely original research, no reliable sources, scrap it. Johnny338 (talk) 15:19, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: The Jazz fusion is one that has developed through a decent amount of attention and discussion down the years, as per the Talk page. It seems to share a kernel with this article, in its third paragraph. But outside that core, this article just seems to be broad and unreferenced discussion on an arbitrary range of hyphen "genres" that come and go. Arguably it could be morphed into a "List of crossover musical genres" (suitably referenced) but Fusion as named should just redirect to Jazz fusion. AllyD (talk) 18:26, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The jazz fusion article is the proper one to keep. This one tries to cover the same material and fails, violating WP:NOR and WP:V. Binksternet (talk) 23:39, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect (no need for a merge) to jazz fusion. It is a valid term and should point to the existing article. This will also discourage re-creation. — Gwalla | Talk 19:38, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
