Dark emo

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

Procedural nom. I declined to speedily delete the article, as it is ineligible for SD, not meeting WP:CSD. However, the article does seem to be either a hoax or original research, or some combination of the two. faithless  (speak)  22:04, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No relevant ghit. --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 22:52, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. To me it looks like a bizarre hoax - many of the bands listed as examples of the genre are mainstream bands accepted as various other types of rock and metal. Considering the negative connotations of the word "emo" in many situations, it may just be a strangely-disguised way of disparaging them. Mazca (talk) 23:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Made-up. Most of these bands are totally dissimilar lyrically and musically. Is based on an incorrect stereotype and nothing more. Zazaban (talk) 21:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:HOAX. Several of these bands formed before emo's early bands (Rites of Spring, Sunny Day Real Estate) were even formed. And Dimmu Borgir, Type O Negative and Cradle of Filth are all metal acts, ditto Evanescence (who are closer to Goth Rock if anything).

 * Delete obvious hoax, and article creator Marcosvil keeps trying to sweep deletion notices under the rug. --76.254.199.136 (talk) 11:57, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * He did it only once, and has been warned accordingly. --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 12:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is obviously made up. Most of the mentioned bands have nothing to do with emo. Bloodredchaos (talk) 09:52, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, term is at best a neologism, but regardless the bands listed do not form any sort of coherent genre; probable hoax. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 15:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * In fact doesn't this now fall under WP:SNOW? Blackmetalbaz (talk) 16:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete really rather pointless isn't it? LukeTheSpook (talk) 08:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
