Gothic punk

This article's history contains a bunch of redirects and tests; after I reverted a blanking, I tried to find something to do with the article, but after some research, I think I agree with the edit summary of the person who blanked the page: ''There is no such thing as this genre, because it is a made up term. Also there was no article at all, just a bunch of references.'' Note: Google gives lots of hits for "gothic punk"; however, most of them are about "gothic, punk" as two separate words Schutz 23:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete as explained above.--JForget 01:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, possibly speedy - a discussion is ongoing at the talk pages of the CSD world about whether filled in infoboxes are "content" or "context" sufficient to defeat speedy. That said, we're no longer in speedyland so there's insufficient there there for this to be kept. Carlossuarez46 21:45, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy (delete and) redirect to gothic rock, I don't see how "gothic punk" is possible since punk music is gothic rock's main stylistic origin, see the opening sentence of the article. If this is being used as a term enough for someone to put it in the search box, then it should redirect there. - Zeibura (Talk) 23:34, 3 August 2007 (UTC) Nope, just redirect to an earlier version. This is not an A1 speedy seeing as there are past revisions which do have context, and in any case, the infobox has enough content to form a sentence or two. - Zeibura (Talk) 10:35, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment—There is an article on Gothic Punk in the German Wikipedia. Perhaps someone who reads German can see if there is anything relevantly encyclopedic that could be brought to the English Wikipedia...? --Paul Erik 06:16, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that article talks about the music played at the batcave club as gothic punk, which suggests that it's the same as deathrock. So maybe it should redirect there instead, the article history contained two redirects, one to gothic rock and one to deathrock. - Zeibura (Talk) 10:32, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * What do you mean "without debate"? Do you have any references to support how this is any different from goth/deathrock fashion? - Zeibura (Talk) 13:49, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. There's no there there. Bearian 18:00, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
