The name of this genre is more commonly referred to as Alternative R&B, PBR&B is a just a cutesy nickname for it that the creator arcknowlegedes the Unfortunate Implications of. Typing in PBR&B in Google or Wikipedia brings up Alternative R&B as the first hit.

I was initially going to see if I could do a redirect, but it just makes more sense to rename this one and use PBR&B as the redirect.

Note that this is a genre (or rather subgenre page), so a Wick Check would mostly be used to establish lack of use. Opened due to evidence that other sources use a different name preferentially.

Rename to the more preferred name.

We'd have a custom title to display "Alternative R&B", since the word "and" isn't usually spelled out, wouldn't we?

Since the crowner system is going to be broken for a long while, I'll count the supports so far. There seems to be unanimously 17 supporters for a rename.

That’s plenty of consensus for renaming. [tup]
