The result was Delete, better as a category, also inclusion is dubious as it's not really a music genre and as the article says "Note that some of the bands listed here are not "new romantic" bands per se..." Black Kite 09:59, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

List of New Romantic bands

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Whilst on the face of it this article was created in good faith, the fact is that since there is not a clear definition of what makes a music band ‘New Romantic’ in the main article New Romantics. This list has been plagued with inaccuracies since its creation. Even the creator cannot decide what should be listed here. Attempts by knowledgeable editors to maintain it result in constant re-additions of non New Romantic bands by unregistered and new editors. It has been tagged with ‘Accuracy Disputed’ for months and its blatant inaccuracy brings Wikipedia into disrepute. As there were only a handful of actual New Romantic bands, these can be (and already are) incorporated into the main article with the required references, and this list should be deleted. andi064 T.

 * Keep, and verify sources - It's a suitable topic for a list. The quality of the list's contents and the suitability of specific entries should be discussed on the list's talk page.  If an entry isn't verifiable (that is, if sources don't exist out there that verify that a specific band belongs to this genre), then remove that band from the list.

 * Delete New Romantic defines a tendency in 1980s fashion. It's not really a music genre, and I don't think it's useful to start categorizing bands by how they dressed.Nlm1515 (talk) 04:23, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - Lists of x bands are better suited as categories. Funeral 16:49, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
