From the sources I've been able to find, I can see some which appear to be using "glam pop"/"glam-pop" interchangeably with " glam rock" but none definitely calling them the same. I didn't see any mentions of New Romantic. Can't really see a justification for this term leading to either page. It was an orphan before I saw the glam-pop page which redirected to glam rock which I moved to here, and at least one of the two pages that use that redirect would probably make more sense linking directly to/using the term glam rock anyway. This page hasn't had very significant page view numbers in the last year, only once breaking 200 in a month, so I don't know that the term will be missed either.

- Redirect to Glam rock. Plausible search term, should redirect somewhere. Justification is that the definition of Rock music is a "genre of popular music", therefore Glam pop = Glam pop rock = Glam pop. MB 14:24, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to
Glam rock. I understand the nominator's rationale that this term may not be the most helpful or used item, but redirects are cheap and this does have at least the potential to help readers find information so I think this would be better than outright deletion.

- I didn't write it into my nomination 'cause I wasn't quite sure if the case was strong enough for it but I'm fine with a redirect. Honestly I'd prefer it be a redirect because they are very useful, I just didn't know if consensus would be for it or not. But given the two votes so far it appears I assumed wrong.

- Redirect. This isn't an article but i've never dug into when something goes to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion or here, and I suppose it doesn't matter. Its a plausible redirect to glam rock.-- Milowent • has spoken 13:42, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
