As of this writing the article has much in it resembling an opinion piece. It is also very clumsy. Though not a complete waste of bandwidth (and it does have good moments) it could really use a solid editing. I got two paragraphs in, lost heart and now feel a little depressed.Gingermint (talk)04:10, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And, let me just add, essay seems to be the one genre left out of the discussion here. That is, for those of us who believe in four genres: narrative, poetry, theatre and essay.Godofredo29 (talk)13:44, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of genres contains quite good quality material, but it is so much material on such a diverse set of topics, with so much overlap withtopic specific articles and lists, that I don't think it is most optimal that all this diverse material is in one list article. Having said that I am not sure how to propose a way forward. An example could be:
For now I will put the merger templates onList of genres andGenre. I do not know whether that is sufficient, because my proposal potentially involves multiple pages and I do not know how such procedure should work. This could be found out later in case there is sufficient support for the proposal.LazyStarryNights (talk)22:19, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, #1 doesn't make sense. There are different articles because they are very different. One is a description of what a genre is, and the other is a list of the various genres. Number 2 makes more sense -- as long as it's done right. --Musdan77 (talk)05:52, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: I don't think they are overlapping enough to be merged.List of genres lists out different genres, and even the more trivial ones can be legitimately included.Genre is a page describing what genre is. Although examples from the list can be used, it doesnot facilitate a merger.Forbidden User (talk)14:10, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is an inactive merger proposal on mergingList of genres toGenre. It involves redirecting "List of genres" to "Genre" and merging of contents in "List of genres" into different sections of "Genre". Opinion appreciated!Forbidden User (talk)14:42, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it's right above. Isn't it inactive because there's not been support for it? ...thus making it not an issue? Am I missing something? --Musdan77 (talk)02:16, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the Wiki Education program is a great thing but in this case it looks like lots of text was added some of which is not really helpful for the average encyclopedia reader who is looking for basic information on a topic.BookeWorme (talk)22:00, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that nowhere in WP is there discussion ofPrerecorded media, and specifically audio media. There is discussion isCassette tape that indicates the need for such. SinceGenre is commonly used to categorize audio and video media, it seems reasonable to start here.Gah4 (talk)12:36, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gah4:If Genre is "a type of" then Torah Tape is a type of recording on tape, albeit today the content may be bytes on a web site. I accept thatTorah Tape will not have its own article. Is this another attempt to, per F.P.Brooks' "tossing the cow over the fence?" Perhaps. Otherwise, would I be guilty of giving up too soon? Don't know.Nuts240 (talk)22:45, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is to discuss the possible need for a new article. Prerecorded cassette tapes used to be pretty common, and so maybe they should have an article. I don't know that helpsTorah Tape at all. It might be that someGenres should have an article, and I suspect some form of religious genre should exist. That is as close as I know it.Gah4 (talk)05:13, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That, too. There is some overlap between genre and format, such asFilm and television genres. There seems to beChristian media but not all other religious media. Also,to tape is commonly used for recording in non-tape formats. Seems that there should be educational genres and religious genres.Gah4 (talk)10:17, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
as an uninvolved editor, i bumped into this for no particular rfd-related reason, and... yeah. what's a section on torah tapes doinghere? it's no more primarily associated with the concept of a genre thanjontron's videos orwolfenstein 3d. if someone wants an article or section on it, i think it should probably go somewhere elsecogsan(nag me)(stalk me)12:46, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
