287:: Article was nominated for deletion due to un-encyclopedic nature. This is very clearly a fashion trend, of which there are thousands of other wikipedia articles. Fashion trends that are written about in news papers and magazines are clearly encyclopedic. The specific black color is probably the most common, or commonly thought of, color for rock concert T's, which is why the article is so titled. The black color is a trend by itself separate from concert T's in general. There are now 3 different references. Having a main article called
60:—if adequate verification can be provided, it is likely that the notability issue will also be addressed. I see that there has been some effort towards finding references as discussed on the article's talk page. As there is active effort with some promise of being fruitful on fixing the primary issue with the article, I'm closing this now as no consensus. If the article is not cleaned up and sourced within a month, I recommend relisting it. —
227:. The title is indeed inapropriate, and the article itself mentions that there are other colours. I think that everyone agrees that most bands sell T-shirts during their tours (black or otherwise); therefore how is it non-notable? It is a source of income for bands, a common type of clothing for music fans (there is a section about this type of clothing on the

The other articles aren't up for debate here. This can be more than adequately represented in the existing articles which keeps all the information in one place, rather than forked into an unnecessary article called "Black concert T-shirt". Chris, I love your work, I think this is about all I have to
387:
Actually, there is already a section in both those articles about this item. It seems to me that if two seperate articles need to mention it then it's notable, right? Otherwise it wouldn't be mentionned anywhere else, and definitely not have a whole section in both cases. What's more, take a look at
493:: earlier someone mentioned 'The other articles aren't up for debate here' exactly they are not and are a similar type of item. They exist. They are a subculture. Which there are PLENTY of on wiki. Wiki's not paper. The article could use some details etc but the article does and should exist.--
470:. Hopefully these references, pulled from published news sources, will sway the opinion of those who think the term is made up or otherwise not notable on its own. There are a ton more references in blogs and other less reliable sources which I didn't include. --

Black concert T-shirts are an important part of metal culture in many parts of the world. I see no reason why this article should be deleted; it is a valid topic, and an important resource to many, regardless of whether you wear them, hate them, or study them.
396:. Why are these clothing items more notable? Neither of them even has a single reference, whereas this article has one and two external links. However, as mentionned on the talk page of this article, I support moving this to a broader title, like
482:: a black concert t-shirt is not just a fad... it's an identifier for an entire subculture... though i'm personally not a fan of these t-shirts, or the people in them, it's my npov that they ARE a cultural phenomenon, of sorts. so shoot me.

article for example). I agree that there are reasons to delete this article, but non-encyclopedic is not one of them. In fact, non-encyclopedic does not correspond to any policy that I know of, and therefore is

Would you mind expanding a little? I mean, right now no one who voted "delete" has cited a policy or guideline that this article offends (apart from non-notable, which is clearly not the case). Thanks,
