Redirected to the superior Mall_Goth article as per merge suggestion. Jumping the gun a bit but the article was terrible and had been suggested for merger for a year.--Pypex 18:13, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot to add this one, posting now. ComCat 00:18, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete but consider merging. I remember the term being used to some similar degree as early as 1997 on webpages, so it's not it's completely made-up. The article, however, is poorly written and again, doesn't deserve its own entry. Devotchka 02:02, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or redirect. There's no reason for this and Mall Goth both to exist. --keepsleeping say what 02:26, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Mansonite --keepsleeping say what 23:29, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding a comment below about lack of support for deletion:

1. The first sentence of the article calls it "a very recent term which is not yet widespread". Cf. neologism.
2. The entire article is essentially a duplicate of both Mansonite and Mall Goth, and any two of those articles can be merged and redirected into the other, or all three merged and redirected with Goth.

• Merge and redirect as suggested. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:54, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete if (as the article suggests) it is a scarecely-used neologism, elase merge & redirect. - Just zis Guy, you know? 14:25, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as neologism... no reason to merge to Mall Goth as that is on AfD as well.--Isotope23 16:34, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Marilyn Manson, his band was called Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids. Jobe6 21:21, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Nominator made no effort whatsoever to support this nomination. Bryan 00:49, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Having reviewed my vote, as promised elsewhere, I'm sticking with "keep". No support has been provided in any of these delete votes, just assertions of non-notability. Furthermore, an attempt to merge this article into another article (therefore rendering the entire debate moot) was reverted without any justification or even an edit summary. Why? You don't need to AfD something in order to merge it. Bryan 05:29, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. No evidence of widespread usage. Gamaliel 18:09, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and Redirect, this shows some revalance. The Republican 03:29, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• DeleteNot encyclopedic.-Dakota 04:09, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. As pointed out above, this being a "very recent term" makes it unsuitable for an article. We're not urbandictionary here. Friday (talk) 17:02, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
