===List of subcultures===

:{{la|List of subcultures}} ([{{fullurl:List of subcultures|wpReason={{urlencode: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of subcultures (2nd nomination)}}&action=delete}} delete]) – (View AfD)(View log)

Appears to be a recreation of deleted content. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of lifestyles (2nd nomination). Note that List of lifestyles now links to this page. Also, this list is an indiscriminate collection. There are literally thousands upon thousands of subcultures; attempting to list them all is not at all feasible.

• Comment. The previous AfD ended with an overwhelming vote to keep, so what is the basis for your claim that this is a "recreation of deleted content"? ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 13:54, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

::My apologies, I was looking at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of lifestyles (2nd nomination), which was deleted twice and then recreated as a link to this page, which has very similar content. I did not see the previous AFD for list of subcultures. I still maintain that this list is unmaintainable and theoretically infinite. If we absolutely MUST have something like this, couldn't we just use a category? TallNapoleon (talk) 18:45, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - low-quality nomination - David Gerard (talk) 17:34, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
• Strong keep. This nomination deletion request should not have been created.Spylab (talk) 02:39, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
• I am mystified how the nominator could be so misguided as to claim an article dating back to November of 2004 is a recreation of an article deleted in April of 2008. Given this rather striking failure of attentiveness in the nomination, I respectfully suggest the nominator withdraw the nomination and exert a modicum of care in future nominations so as not to waste people's time so egregiously.

• Nomination withdrawn; you have my apologies. Would an admin be so kind as to close this? TallNapoleon (talk) 07:30, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
