Note: This thread was proposed by Graf von Tirol.

Category: Duplicate Trope/Unclear Description

Created back in 2011 to describe a then-emerging movement in popular music, although the way I see it there tends to be an overlap with the more detailed, higher-trafficked page on Indie Pop. I have never heard of the concept of "pop revival" outside of this site; while it's easy to find information on Indie Pop and associated genres on Wikipedia (eg Neo-Psychedelia, Baroque Pop revival, Bedroom Pop), using "Pop Revival" in brackets on that site's search doesn't turn up helpful, consistent entries, thus there's an "unclear description" problem. The way I see it, it's poorly thought out and better covered by Indie Pop (where the overwhelming majority of blue links with a page are anyways), so I would recommend either a cut or a merge, leaning towards the former.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

Paging ~Graf von Tirol to the thread. I went with "Needs Help" as the thread reason since two reasons were given and I wasn't sure which one to go with if I went with one of them, but let me know if the thread reason should be changed to one of them.

Anyway, the inbound count is low (555 since 2012 for a page made in 2011), so I think we can cut it and transplant examples to Indie Pop and possibly the other pop genres listed in the OP. We may be able to waive the Three-Day Rule if there ends up being clear consensus after we get more feedback, because the wick count is pretty low.

Yeah, still pretty much inclined towards the direction of cutting. I just don't see it being any use as a redirect if practically nobody else uses that term.

I counted 9 in favor of cutting (including me). Since barely anyone has heard of this trope, I doubt we need a crowner. But let's see what others think. I think we may need 10 votes until the decision is made.

Starving and everyone says cut means you can three-day waive.

Calling thread for cutting + transferring salvageable examples to Indie Pop and other pop genre pages.

All examples sorted to other genres and all wicks removed. We can go ahead and cut.
