A new, and unnotable, subculture and style of clothing. There are no sources available that help establish any sort of notability for the concepts. The PROD was removed by the page creator, who made clear that they have a legitimate desire to improve the article with sources, but having searched myself, I can find absolutely no reliable third party sources, so I have doubts taht they will be successful.

• Delete - utterly non-notable. A Google search on "B-Goth and Steamfunk" shows only 10 returns, all connected to this article. Only other mention is on this Facebook page, where the author even admits that it is new, and hopes "This is going to float." MikeWazowski (talk) 23:07, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. No substantial coverage from WP:RS is offered or can be found. Appears to be two parts WP:OR, one part WP:PROMOTION for what one assumes is the author's brand-new company and clothing line. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 03:04, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. In addition to the above, this appears to be a fairly clear case of COI noting the author's username and the name mentioned in the article. —Darkwind (talk) 16:59, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - No significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. -- Joaquin008 ^(talk) 20:53, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
