Nominator's rationale: I'm admittedly not an expert on music terminology, but one of the following must be true:
  1. The article roots music should be a broad-concept article rather than a dab page.
  2. This category is overcategorizion of unrelated music genres with shared names and should be deleted.

Since we generally prefer to defer to mainspace in category discussions, proposing deletion. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:23, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge/delete, redundant category layer with one subcategory each. The European and African category do not have to be merged because the subcategory of each will remain in the tree as subcategories of Category:Racially motivated violence against white people.
