[edit] List of subcultures

List of subcultures (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

More or less a duplicate of list of lifestyles, which was deleted last month. Stifle (talk) 09:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

  • I have added an expert tag asking editors involved with sociology to edit this article. I believe that some informed editors on this subject could improve it into a very good article. Please consider giving it a chance. QuirkyAndSuch (talk) 10:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Other similar stuff was deleted isnt really a good argument. The article is notable but suffers from lack of sourcing which is a content issue and not a criteria for deletion. If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a good candidate for AfD. Cleanup is also being discussed on the talk page which the nominator should have read before nominating in accordance with afd instructions. List of youth subcultures also suffers the same issues. --neonwhite user page talk 14:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep AfD not properly followed through (surprise, surprise). Nom has a fitting username. Knee-jerk deletionism really does stifle Wikipedia. --Pwnage8 (talk) 15:37, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Please explain which of the speedy keep criteria this page meets and please consider being more civil. Stifle (talk) 18:55, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. This is the list counterpart of Category:Subcultures and is a necessary component of our human-readable navigation system. Current state of article isn't a good argument, since it can be fixed by regular editing processes. No reason to delete provided. Celarnor Talk to me 22:41, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong keep It should be improved, not deleted.Spylab (talk) 22:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, nothing violating WP:CLS to have a list of subcultures for which we already have articles. I would like to see better organization rather than just an alpha list, but that would probably be something for editors to work out over time. --Dhartung | Talk 23:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, this ought to be merged into Subculture, so the editors watching that article can make a better organization and take out all items that are nto really subcultures. But this has to be via normal editing, talk page, merge proposal, etc. Btw, the article that was deleted was way worse than this one. --Enric Naval (talk) 20:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
I support a merge the subculure article is not of a major length that would not allow it. --neonwhite user page talk 13:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
I oppose a merge into the subculture article because the it would clutter the page up too much. The article and list are long enough that they should be kept separate.Spylab (talk) 01:22, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Only the sourced content would be merged which will likely be only a fraction of the list allowing it to be included in the main article. --neonwhite user page talk 13:57, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Provided a clear and verifiable inclusion criteria is provided. Taemyr (talk) 10:20, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
