[edit] Archived

Archived the old discussion. The page had grown too long, and there was little actual discussion. We need a clean slate to improve this article and set a higher standard of discussion.

Here is what I see needing to be done. We cannot continue to add artists on relatively small labels (for goth/punk/etc), artists with only one song or one album of dark cabaret material, or artists whose own pages do not mention dark cabaret or who do not have their own pages. We need to demonstrate the degree to which dark cabaret is a community outside of press hype. Bjart 20:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oh. well...

Great! Dark Cabaret as genre is not exist! Are you happy, mr. Bjart?!! Ask the question to Sam Rosental about this - it's only market where he need to sold more Projekt's cd's and "dark cabaret" is only label, placed on cd's!

Please, delete Dark cabaret (section)!!! And destroy with this section many interesting names like Rosin Coven, Martin Martini... etc. No one band or musician don't work in "dark cabaret genre".

Thank you! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.30.225.144 (talk) 15:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC).

I said nothing about deleting the entire article. This is about improving the quality of the article. Look at the archived talk page and the chunk of the article I deleted. Both were full of unregistered accounts promoting one band, often with one or less albums, no inter/national tours, and only a myspace to their name. I didn't delete anything pertaining to the Projekt comp. That and some of the history are the things this article should undeniably keep. The "listening guide" including non-dark-cabaret artists like Regina Spektor don't quite fall into the same category.

I like Dark Cabaret. I like Wikipedia. I'd rather improve this article than see some senior editors come by and delete it on us because it became full of unsourced band advertisements. Bjart 19:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Now that I've looked over those unregistered accounts, I see that it was mostly you who. I can understand why your feelings were hurt by my big edit. I'd recommend you look over other articles of pop music genres (especially formerly featured articles) and compare their format and talk pages to dark cabaret. The best articles are more than a collection of external links. Bjart 23:01, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Is there such a thing as an "expert" on Dark cabaret out there anywhere...? Paul S (talk) 11:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Dark Cabaret" compilation

As you can notice if you read this article, the "Dark Cabaret" compilation is referred twice, as if who wrote the second reference did not notice that the other was already there. 195.23.92.74 17:16, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oh no!

I noticed that the related article on punk cabaret has been deleted. For now I will make it a redirect here, but if anyone has the time I strongly encourage them to help write a solid article on that genre. Thank you! SomethingFamiliar (talk) 23:34, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
