Ghost culture
neologism? (Requested by User:Adrift* on my talk page, may also break three pillars)  Sceptr e  ( Talk  ) 17:13, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Original research, not encyclopedic, mixing a whole bunch of anecdotal items that do not constitute a culture. Fan1967 18:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete For reasons above.--Adrift* 21:30, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with goth, condensed, and under a new subheading. It's a valid subcultural branch and the term "ghost" is commonly applied to its members, though it may not warrant its own entry just yet. Rob T Firefly 02:27, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Please cite examples. I have no problem with the article if there truly is a commonly applied membership. And I especially have no problem with a merger with the Goth scene. But as far as I can see, it's simply a neologism for group that does not truly exist. In fact, outside of the Chinese Ghost Culture (which maybe should have it's own article on Wikipedia) I can hardly find any articles on Google that point to a "Ghost Culture" in general.--Adrift* 07:35, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm familiar with the term and have known a number of people who used it, but of course that's not an encyclopedically verifiable source. Google doesn't bring much up which surprises me a bit, so I'll have to change my stance to Weak delete. Rob T Firefly 04:03, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
