Creative jazz
I removed "Creative jazz" here -- there's no page to link to & it's not a genre I've ever heard of. -- I'm tempted to delete "Mini-jazz" too given that a google search turned up very little, though it does seem to be a real genre. --

I've put a citation request on the
Mini-jazz article as nothing seems to show on Google other than versions of itself; nor does its major exponent. There is a subsection on
Music_of_Haiti but that does not seem consistent with the article - and also calls it a form of "pure pop" rather than jazz. So until/unless there is some clarification of the genre and its notability, I think it better deleted from the template and will do so.

This template does a disservice to all of the great Jazz articles by grouping them together as a footer. By attempting to be as expansive as
Template:Jazzbox it blurs too many topics together and takes away the individual poignancy of having separate boxes for each of the main topics, ala Genres, Topics, Lists and Lists of Musicians. It is too bad that
User:TeaDrinker acted unilaterally in deleting
Template:Jazz lists, which sought to establish the reality outlined above. • Freechild'sup? 04:29, 24 December 2007 (UTC)reply
Howdy! It is a minor (although important) technical point that the template was not deleted, but rather made to be a
redirect to
Template:Jazzfooter. This has the effect of making all instances where {{
jazz lists}} is called, {{
Jazzfooter}} shows up instead. This is not an administrative action, and can be reversed by going to
Jazz lists (no redirect) and reverting to the version desired. For myself, I cam across this when speedy deletion was requested (which I denied in favor of the redirect, as the template was still in wide use), and have no feelings on what style is preferable. I would, however, be happy to help with whatever consensus decision is arrived at. --

Template usage guideline
Should the Jazzfooter template only be added to articles that it links to, on the basis that it's a navigation box, the primary purpose of which is to provide one-click navigation between the most important jazz related articles? Or, should it be added to other jazz related articles as well, for example an article about a specific jazz musician? —

Years in Jazz
Delete every year in jazz article: The "Decades in JAzz" articles are actually sufficient. The specific year articles have the same exact info. They should all be merged into their decade article.

Could someone remove Yass from the list of genres? It's already under Polish jazz in the regional scenes.

Not done for now. Please get a consensus on
Talk:European free jazz and
Talk:Indo jazz as to which of each should be kept. Once there is a consensus, any auto-confirmed editor can make the change.

They're both listed under Regional scenes, but they're also in Genres. — Preceding

Yes, I know. That's because they are in both groups. My "Not done" remarks stand. Please treat each one as a separate issue and discuss them on the respective talk pages.

Not done Jump blues and Western swing don't appear to be genres of Jazz. They seem to fit best in blues and country, respectively. Although they may be closely related, I think it makes sense to leave them in the "Related" section. Feel free to reply with more information.

Could someone please make sure that this template has all genres that fit under jazz, and none that don't? I'd also like each genre to be put under the Jazz genres category and the template in all of the genres. Don't forget to message me.

Not done: Edit requests are so that you can request a specific change, not to request that a template is reviewed and categories added where appropriate. If you wish a change to be made please review the template yourself and then add a request with the specific changes in the form "please change X to Y".

On hold Discussion required:
Organ trio claims that it is a genre of jazz. Why should it be removed from the template?

Please establish a consensus to include Sacred Jazz and move Straight-ahead jazz. Thanks.

I added some genres (Skiffle, Sacred jazz, and Straight-ahead jazz), moved Organ trio to Related, and divided the Regional scenes section by continent.
