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.

For now I will put the merger templates on List of genres and Genre. 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)

There is an inactive merger proposal on merging List of genres to Genre. 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)
Genre isn't meant to be absolute: it's a handy, malleable tool to use to classify things. It is it's nature to change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.51.153.238 ( talk) 22:16, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
