Not Thriving: Genre Motif

Genre Motif has only 22 wicks and 15 people brought in. The page seems to have a kernel of a valid trope (using a specific genre as a leitmotif), but it's got so many unnecessary subpages and too few inbounds to gather any examples or attention. Of the few wicks it does have, almost all are from character sheets. Is this worth fixing? If so, what can be done?

Part of the problem here is that people pages split this thing when it wasn't too long and nothing has more than two examples.

That's quite a wall of text there - and then each subpage has even more text. It seems like somebody got very ambitious with the essay-writing and trusted that ye olde wiki magick would somehow automatically bring in examples — which it obviously failed to do.

Would it help to consolidate all the subpages into one page and maybe cut down on the text a bit?

And I don't think it's necessary to divide the examples by music genre even if it's all on one page.

Yeah, a lot of that needs to go to the analysis page and I agree, separating by genre is just silly.
