This userbox is broadly redundant to {{user folk music}}. Not used; if it was used I would move it to the correct title or to userspace. — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:41, 8 December 2011 (UTC)reply
Redirect to {{user folk music}}. In general, inocuous forks should be redirected on discovery. --

Delete as a misnamed redundant userbox. Redundant to {{user folk music}}. Not used. Template space userboxes must being with "User" as per
Wikipedia:Userboxes. --

The thing is, it's unused, and the name is not appropriate for a userbox. Therefore, there is no point redirecting it, and we may as well delete it to make room for a possible future template at this title. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:27, 9 December 2011 (UTC)reply
Why is the name not appropriate for a userbox? --

Userboxes should be named "Template:User ______", or (preferably) should be kept in userspace. — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:44, 11 December 2011 (UTC)reply
Keep - this template is different than {{user folk music}} and more specific too, since it mentions "Folk, Roots and Traditional music" (which are all connected, but are not all the same in everyone's mind). If anything, this is more specific than just the general "folk music" label.

I personally don't like making "rebuttal"-style arguments in general, but here I feel I must point out that the template is currently unused. If you, as its creator, want it, you can keep it in your userspace. If you don't want it, then neither does anyone else, and it can be deleted. — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:26, 10 December 2011 (UTC)reply
Delete wrong name for a UBX. If you want to keep this variant, it must be renamed, and the redirect left behind must be deleted. As the current name is about folk music, and not roots or traditional, the name is bad for that purpose.

Delete per This, that and the other and

I support this rename. If someone thinks it is not redundant, they may rename from the inappropriate title just as they may create any new userbox. --
