Neogoth

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

newly coined neologism. This article cites no independant or reliable sources for "neogoth". It contradicts itself saying neogoths are members of the goth subculture and at the same time neogoths are a counter movement. It advances original positions such as that cybergoth originated inside the goth subculture. in searching for the term neogoth I can only find 2 cd's both sold by Cleopatra records using the label neogoth (and neither CD actually contains the contents of this wikipage, but rather are music compilations and nothing more). No bands are promoted by anyone as "neogoth".. no one on the internet seems to say "I am a neogoth". google searching turns up no reliable references on neogoth (but many which point back to wiki). and www.neogoth.net is nothing but a placeholder on the name. neogoth.com is for sale. neogoth.org is some kind of error message page. I can not find any reliable independant sources to attibute this information to and I've tried. TheDarknessVisible 07:49, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Neologism and original research / POV. The modern day goth subculture is covered in that article. Mdwh 10:31, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - neologism + personal opinions on the topic. --Stormie 06:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - For all of the above reasons and the fact that it's patently untrue - there's no such thing as a "modern goth subculture," that would suggest that today's goth subculture is somehow different to that which existed previously, but in fact it's just a continuation of the same.

 * Delete There is no "modern goth subculture". There's a goth subculture which hasn't changed much since the 80s and just call themselves "goths", and there are a bunch of subcultures inspired by it (dark wave, electroclash, ethereal wave, even boho & emo) who would sooner die than refer to themselves as "neogoths" (well, a lot of them would sooner die than anything, because the world doesn't understand them and it's all so unfair, but you get the picture). Nobody ever uses the term "neogoth". -  irides centi   (talk to me!)  17:17, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
