While the subject matter of this article may be somewhat notable as it represents a neologism that has become widely recognized in pop culture over the past decade or so, this article consists of nothing more than original research based on ridiculously unreliable sources (such as yahoo answers). Also, since this article is basically centered around a neologism, may I refer to WP:NEO. I feel like a tourist (talk) 08:17, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete how many times has this been junked already? JuJube (talk) 14:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• There was also a "scenester" article that was scrapped a few days ago. I feel like a tourist (talk) 14:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Youth subculture which sources the term. The term 'scene' does not refer any particular style as suggested but the adherence to a style. --neonwhite user page talk 15:27, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak redirect to youth subculture article per Neon white. I say weak because I was under the impression the term "Scene", with regards to fashion, dates back many decades and isn't a recent neologism, but the article content as it currently stands appears to not recognize any such history. 23skidoo (talk) 16:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• The use of the word "scene" in this article actually pertains to music "scenes" rather than fashion itself. Their use of the word "fashion" is merely stating that this article is attempting to describe the fashion of so-called "scene kids" (that's the neologism). One of the many things that makes this article so bad is the fact that they say " 'scene' is a teen fashion style" whereas 'scene' is more aptly described as a sort of subculture or lifestyle. A distinctive choice in fashion is only one aspect of "scene" as it is used here. I feel like a tourist (talk) 21:18, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt much of that could be sourced. The ridiculousness of this article is that it tries to define a current fashion as the only fashion ever! It's high school newspaper recentism done to perfection. The utter misunderstanding of the term amuses me. --neonwhite user page talk 17:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, put it in a taxi, and take it to the disco scene. Seems to be passing ( and annoying ) fad on social networking sites. P.S. Double points if anybody gets the pop-culture reference. Squidfryerchef (talk) 23:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I tried to nominate it myself because the AfD tag has been deleted. This was my nomination: "No references to substantial coverage by reliable third party sources, fails WP:V, WP:NOR and WP:N. Judging from the history, the article is a teenager playground. Search engine results are unhelpful due to the generic name of the subject. Compare also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scenesters." Sandstein (talk) 15:20, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
