Lo-fi Goth

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

Non-notable genre term. Sources cited int he article were either unreliable or did not even support the points they were supposedly making, and have since been removed. Virtually all the bands do not meet Wiki notability guidelines. As an aside, I'm pretty familiar with a number of these groups, and while "lo-fi" would be accurate, "goth" sure isn't.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. Simply the conjunction of two adjectives. Seldom (though not never) used together. No evidence (in article or after this editor's search) that this is actually a term of art. Bongo  matic  03:08, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Of the gnews hits for the term, Village Voice talks about "lo-fi goth-blues" describing one artist, and the Boston Herald uses "lo-fi, goth-tinged club hit" to describe song by one artist.  Searcing google itself bring the term up, but overwhelingly in the two senses above, either mashing multiple genres together (lo-fi goth/industrial, lo-fi goth/punk, lo-fi-goth-folk-avant-twee, &c), or with the comma.  One can be a tall, well-dressed man, but that doesn't mean there's a variety of man we call "tall well-dressed." Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 14:28, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
