[edit] Black metal fashion

Black metal fashion (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Mostly comprised of original research. The subject hardly warrants its own article. At the least, this should be merged with either black metal, or more ideally, heavy metal fashion. I think merging it with the latter would be the best choice if this is not straight out deleted - overall I say the topic is hardly notable; at least not to the point where it deserves its own article. ≈ The Haunted Angel 23:34, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

• Redirect to heavy metal fashion. Fashion for the black metal genre is NN on its own Doc Strange (talk) 23:42, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect any sourcable information per above.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 14:05, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - per WP:OR and the Haunted Angel (kudos; good one for the AFD). The article is so non notable I can't even begin to explain. I suppose it could be mentioned in heavy metal fashion or black metal, but I think it should be short and it would have to be carefully worded. I also have to state my postion (yes, my POV) that I think the word "fashion" should not be stated anywhere in the article. If it has to be talked about at all (which it shouldn't be) it should be referred to as black metal "attire". There is already an article on corpse paint and other than that notable feature of 2nd Wave, the attire is pretty much the same as other heavy metal genres, such as thrash metal. Black leather jackets, black leather pants and possibly forearm spike bands are all the same. Oh wow...I just took a look at the heavy metal fashion article...urgh...it's horrible as well.

• Delete per nom, however I'd also like to point out that this should never have been brought to AfD. It had a prod tag on it already, and if it hadn't been brought to AfD it would have been deleted by the end of the day today. Oh well. -- Atama^chat 18:12, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
