Okay, then let's merge Rock 'n Roll with Elvis.. Wizard Rock, is a music genre as is any other, there is no reason for it not to have it's own article in the format of other music genres. As stated below, 'When searched for Wizard Rock many MySpace articles appear.' Well if we simply treat wizard rock a music genre others will too.
Wizard Rock, is not only in the Harry Potter fandom, it contains many other bands, related to other books, therefore redirecting it is not the right thing to do.
I suggest an article to be formed named 'Wizard Rock' and 'List of Wizard Rock bands', as it is not right to treat this genre unfairly..
Best Regards,

I think this article could use some serious pruning, particularly the section on examples of Wizard rock bands, because these look like just a bunch of spamlinks to myspace and other personal web sites. If these bands aren't notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, they're not notable enough to have a text+link mention in this site. In other words, everything but Harry and the Potters should be removed (or at the very least, delinked).
Another definite possibility is to merge and redirect this article to Harry Potter fandom. What do you think? --Deathphoenix 14:57, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Someone already completed the merge; I removed the merge tag from Harry Potter fandom. SujinYH 16:55, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
To prepare for the likely merge, I tweaked the text and removed all links to the myspace and freeweb domains. In addition, I removed "The Rita Skeeters" (lolisandpotts dot com has no Alexa rank and a Google PageRank of 2/10), "Draco and the Malfoys" (evilwizardrock dot com has an Alexa rank of 4,597,651 and a Google PageRank of 0/10), and "Hollow Godric" (hollowgodric dot com has no Alexa rank and a Google PageRank of 0/10), though I've mentioned the first two in the text with no links. --Deathphoenix 16:06, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
There has been no comment about why this article was nominated for deletion; there is no conversation on this talk page and there has been no conversation on the AFD talk page. I am therefore removing the AFD nomination. If anyone objects, just restore the AFD nomination, but please provide a reason this article should be deleted. As there is no discussion, there is no reason to have the banner. --Nick2253 (talk) 00:18, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
This article has a large number of books in its bibliography, but none of them are used for references in the text. Does anyone have access to these and can confirm that they mention wizard rock, or are they just lending spurious weight to the article?
This really hasn't justified itself in its current content. Besides being a near-stub, "genre" includes much more than subject matter. "Wrock" doesn't have any stylistic ties from one band to the next: it's all subject-matter. Unless there's evidence to the contrary, this really ought to be deleted (and maybe merged into the fandom article as suggested earlier). Marking for deletion.

I'm just wondering where the other examples of fan rock are - such as Trock (Time Lord Rock)? If they don't exist on wiki I'm not sure why this is here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.54.165 (talk) 10:57, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
