No reliable references this is a genre. All I've found searching is references to the country group Folk Soul Revival. The portmanteau "Solk" in particular appears to be entirely unsourced; no web results and the only Google Books results are transcription errors. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:10, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not a notable musical genre. I get really tired of these efforts to create genres out of the thinnest of soup. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 23:27, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A Google search for "folk soul genre" reveals only passing mentions of this apparently quite broad genre in perhaps unreliable sources with no discussion of what it means. [1] [2] [3] [4] Hameltion (talk, contribs) 02:30, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
