Emo (slang)

 * Delete -article seems to have major problems with it, badly-sourced, referenced, NPOV; the rapid edit history shows there's no clear consensus over what 'emo' is, or says, or does, is it suitable for Wikipedia?? Berk2 13:16, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I definitely see your point with emo being difficult to define. Elsebroke 03:43, 23 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep There seem to be a wealth of references to mainstream newspaper articles that confirm that this a real youth subculture. Articles needs improvement (like nearly every Wikipedia article). Slightly Selassie 13:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. An article on emo is certainly appropriate here and this is very from being bad enough to throw overboard. BTLizard 13:39, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Slightly Selassie. Is "slang" the best description? "Subculture" gets it right. JJL 14:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Sourced article whose independent existence from Emo (music) is justified on the Emo disambig. page.  ◄    Zahakiel    ►   14:39, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, sourced and notable, of course needs improvement. Carlosguitar 15:02, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article is adequately sourced, obviously notable, passes in clusion criteria.  It may be a candidate for cleanup, but this is not Articles for Cleanup ...  Ark yan  &#149; (talk) 15:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Extensively referenced, adequate sourcing. Unfortunateyl this will be another vandal magnet.  Keep it on your watch list! &mdash; Gaff  ταλκ 16:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Just needs to be a better article.---Gloriamarie 17:27, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't know if I could do anything on this article, seeing as it's definitely not an area of expertise for me, but maybe a semi-protection is in order. I will watch it and help remove vandalism.  Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 17:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Because it is a vandalism hotspot, maybe it should be more extensively protected. Maybe if enough people watch the article, we can prevent a great deal of NPOV, vandalism, and it could help make a general consensus. J-stan 18:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, even the Daily Mail talks about "emos" now, it's just a gash article. Fix up and watch closely. tomasz.  20:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, it's still an awful article in a number of ways, but it satisfied WP:N and WP:V. I don't, like, know why people, you know, are so mean. --Dhartung | Talk 20:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment A rename to Emo subculture (see also: punk subculture) would also be an improvement. --Dhartung | Talk 07:48, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Definitely agree w/this. tomasz.  14:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep It needs serious cleanup but satisfies WP:Not -- St.daniel Talk 20:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Emo is a widespread subculture/slang term and deserves Wikipedia's attention. Elsebroke 02:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Deletion won't really make this article more useful to you, gentle reader . —Adrian~enwiki (talk) 2007-05-23 08:40Z
 * Keep Very well-known term. The article could be better, for sure.  But, deletion? No. Cowicide 12:00, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep, as per WP:SNOW. --Ashenai 12:38, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. --Despairing 13:11, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep If this deleted you might as well delete punk, teddy boy, mod.... Adambisset 13:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Improve the article; don't delete it. JonathanFreed 14:05, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. If you're gonna delete emo, then what about chav? Punk? Goth? It just needs improvement. Nukleoptra 17:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - NPOV is not a reason in itself to delete an article. --Philip Laurence 21:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
