"Pop goth"
Hi there, just popping you a note to let you know that another editor has nominated an article you created List of wannabe-goth bands (although you created it as List of pop goth bands) for deletion. Please go to Articles for deletion/List of wannabe-goth bands to take part in the discussion.

We appreciate your contributions, but there are some concerns about the list's point-of-view, i.e. speculative categorisation of who and what is or isn't "goth". These concerns also apply to the article Pop goth. Please see Neutral point of view and Attribution, as these are two critical content policies on Wikipedia. Essentially, unless you can include reliable published sources about categorisation of the bands' music or image, then it cannot be included in Wikipedia. Both articles refer to the opinion of some anonymous "elder goths", which cannot be considered a reliable source.

I realise that acceptable genre classification of music is often difficult, goth music even more so, but the problem with these articles is that they also put a considerably negative spin on those not meeting the nebulous and undefined "goth" criteria. That said, don't let the deletion nomination discourage you from contributing to Wikipedia. Let me know if you have any questions about the above policies, or how you can write an article that meets the requirements. Just don't ask me to define what goth is! --Canley 04:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Pop goth
I've nominated Pop goth, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Pop goth satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Pop goth and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You are free to edit the content of Pop goth during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. --Canley 01:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
