Dark Rock

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Other than amateur essays that have been posted on Amazon.com there appears to be no verifiable evidence from a professional publication that this genre of music exists. Article should be deleted as original research or re-directed to the parent Gothic rock article. Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 01:26, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Gothic rock isn't the same like Dark rock. It's not the "parent article". Dark rock means dark popularly alternative rock music. Gothic rock is a genre with a strong punk and psychedelic rock influence and a deep bass guitar line. Bands such as Zeraphine, Sream Silence, HIM, Lacrimas Profundere play definitely no Gothic rock. The term Dark rock was coined by Nick Holmes (Paradise Lost) in 1999. --Ada Kataki (talk) 07:41, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Genre does not appear to really exist or is at best a little used neologism. KleenupKrew (talk) 11:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete/Merge - Relevant details should be merged to either Gothic rock or simply Rock music and article deleted. Tnxman307 (talk) 13:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Looks like original research that treats a descriptive expression as a genre term. I see nothing that should be merged. --Bardin (talk) 06:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - OR. Let it go the way Dark Metal gone. Garret Beaumain (talk) 12:30, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete this it's not a real genre. Opinion based not fact based.Crescentia (talk) 20:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No chance. Dark rock is definitely not the same like Gothic rock. Listen to Paradise Lost's "Host" album. A redirect is the wrong way. --Ada Kataki (talk) 19:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete.Nick has used it as a description of PL's sound in 'Host' not as a real genre.And actually 'Host' can easily be classified as synth rock.
