  • Merge with emo. This type of poetry seems to be a pop culture phenomenon so, understandably, there are few sources to be found... Still, I think the characteristics are helpful in identifying a so-called "emo poem." This article has some merit.
  • nothing here seems to be distinct from Emo. Emo kids write poetry? Who'd have thougt. Guy (Help!) 23:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Emo (slang) - Too little information to have its own article. Not even signifigant. — ♥Tohru Honda13♥ 01:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - There's nothing significant here. I've seen emo poems with few of those features, and poems with some of those features that aren't emo. So what's the point of this article? Oh, and it's also not really verifiable I think. kaiti-sicle 01:11, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with emo. It's not mentioned in that article, but it probably should be. I'd like to see at least one claim that an "emo poem" has been published in a serious periodical, but even without that I'd settle for a keep based on WP:NOT#PAPER. YechielMan 01:31, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I highly doubt this can be sourced. I also would debate the criteria. Is it really uncommon for a poem to have a rhyme scheme of ABAB, reference the heart, and deal with the mutability of love? Using those criteria, there are centuries filled with emo poetry.

  • Merge with Emo (slang), it's surprisingly well-sourced but not really worthy of a full article. Krimpet 03:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep or Merge with Emo music. Emo poetry is especially melodic and lyrical, and is in some ways perhaps a type of "folk poetry" (hows that for a terrifying neologism). It is very closely tied in with emo music, much of its production either culminates in or eminates from songs. I look at Romantic poetry and think that this could have an article if we could name emo poets who aren't musicians. Smmurphy(Talk) 21:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The only problem I have with merging it into Emo (music) is that the article deals with the music genre. It would be a lot easier to merge it into Emo (slang) because, according to the disambiguation page, it deals with "a wide range of fashion styles and attitudes somewhat affiliated with emo music." // DecaimientoPoético 23:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
