[edit] Nazi punk

Nazi punk (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A Nazi punk is a neo-nazi who is a part of punk subculture. Or so I read in Wikipedia, not that I needed an encyclopaedia to tell me something quite that obvious, and in any case I didn't believe it because as a seasoned Wikipedia hand I know full well that articles with no references are not always to be trusted.

Keep. Looks like a real article about a real subculture to me. I see plenty of references, just not in citation format. By the reasoning that obvious subjects should not be treated in wikipedia we would have to get rid of fork, knife, and spoon. Wikidemo 20:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep real subculture. Semi-notable. 82.165.187.34 21:11, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I'm not sure what the rationale for deletion here is, but this most definitely is a real and notable subculture. faithless (speak) 21:24, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - I see no legitimate reason to delete this article. Spylab 23:36, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'm pretty puzzled about the rationale here as well, since there certainly seems to be a large collection of references and other things like that. Additionally, the article explains that the appearance of Nazi Punks (as against the original sort) on the punk scene was a notable event, since it seems to have been referred to in songs and spawned a new "front" in the traditional clashes between far-Right ideologies and others.

  • Keep I don't have any clue why someone would want to delete this article. How much evidence is required before a subculture can be acknowledged by wikipedia? It provides bands, history and various different sources. Why more is wanted?! User:El Chivi
  • Delete per nom. Unsourced article that provides no basis for this neologism. Eusebeus 13:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep without a doubt, keep it. Admittedly, it is tough to get information on Nazi punk music, as indeed it is a dark corner and a subculture within a subculture. But it definitely should stay, as many WP labels distribute NS punk music. Plus the article has plenty of references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Groar!

  • Comment Most of this article's references are just confirming that individual bands are Nazis, and almost all of them are to unreliable/primary sources like http://www.aryanunity.com/memoirs8.html or whatever. At the risk of being an asshole, it's a good idea to actually look at what's being cited, rather than just assuming the article is cool because it has lots of references.P4k 07:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
