[edit] Black ambient

Black ambient (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Pretentious gibberish, original research--even the existence of the genre as separate from other genres seems to be original research, no assertion of notability, no references. In all, this page adds nothing to Wikipedia, and the encyclopaedia won't be worse off without it. Misella Landica (talk) 13:04, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, but rewrite and add references. It seems to be an legitimate description in use for a genre of music [1], [2], [3]. eaolson (talk) 15:45, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Nomination for deletion appears to be malicious per the discussion with Misella Landica. Article does need rewriting however, although the genre is definitely one that doesn't lend itself easily to description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.1.163.77 (talk) 06:58, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Whatever. Ian Christe briefly mentions this genre in his history of metal, but I'm not going to be the one to rewrite this.P4k (talk) 00:17, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, article still has some good points on Black Ambient. (talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.1.168.129 (talk) 23:19, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per eaolson and per the fact that it is a real genre. However, I dod agree that it needs serious rewriting and it doesn't seem like anyone wants to do it. I also suggest a merge or something, making this article a subgenre on the dark ambient page, perhaps. I don't know how much really needs to be done, though, because if you look at the first linkeaolson put up it shows many different styles of ambient music, not all of which are on wikipedia (only a few are actually on wikipedia).
