Misconceptions about goth culture
Seems like more of an opinion essay than an encyclopedia article. Most of the article is nonfactual and probably unable to be merged with Goth or similar. Quicksandish 01:04, 18 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. NPOV subjective and unsupported. Seems to express the particular view of an individual or group.
 * Delete. completely nonfactual. It's not the kind of article you would see in a print encyclopedia, and therefore has no place here. - Gregory
 * Delete. There is already a misconceptions section in Goth, and there probably should be more mentioned about misconceptions in that article. However, this article looks like original research. --Idont Havaname 01:23, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete seems POV, and as Idont havaname pointed out, there is already a misconceptions section in Goth. -GregAsche (talk) 01:46, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete original research.--DNicholls 02:19, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete The author mentions in a preface that the article only applies to a small subsection of a particular subculture. This is in addition to the above mentioned reasons.
 * Delete. False, POV, and ageist. --DJH47 06:14, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete POV, not factual. Should be called 'preconceptions about Goth culture.  Is typical of American intolerance. 81.169.147.23 10:02, 18 September 2005 (UTC)Suzanne#
 * Delete in its current form, but perhaps the Goth article could include some of the NPOV and encyclopaedic material from this article. --Sanguinus 10:35, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-neutral, one-sided, prejudiced point of view, and therefor not something that should belong in an encyclopedia. - THF
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. / Peter Isotalo 16:31, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * As I stand upon this windswept moor, thinking of my lost love, Lenore, sorrow weighs on me like sleet. I sigh, I die, I cry: delete.  Nandesuka 18:23, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article meets no factual needs.
 * Delete per Nandesuka; best vote I've seen in a long time. Barno 07:04, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
