[edit] Norsecore

This article was proposed for merging, into an article it repeats. After some time, the articles creator has then made several personal attacks using the articles talk page. After several warnings to the user about Wikipedia's policies, he has continued to make attacks. Minor edits have also been made to the page, which have been reverted with claim of ownership of the user. This article seems nothing more than a made up genre by one person, that is used as a term to seperate out favourite bands from Grindcore and Black Metal. This article is in need of serious attentnion, and then deleting. If there is any truth to this genre, it needs merging into the Grindcore article, where it so belongs.

• Keep, though the article could use some cleaning up. This is a valid and widely-used term, as a google search shows. «LordViD» 10:12, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. As the author invited, I searched for "Norsecore" with Google, and it does indeed seem that the term is rather more widely used than "a made up genre by one person". e.g. see this interview with someone named Hartmuth of Barbarian Wrath Records who claims to have invented the term. btw according to the Wayback Machine this interviews dates back at least to February 28, 2003. --Stormie 10:14, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment. Main problem is the content and what is written. As i said, if there is any truth to this genre, someone needs to provide it, and seriously edit the article in question, lest it should be deleted. Leyasu 10:21, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree that there are content problems with this article. I'll attempt to do something if I can find some time. --Stormie 09:41, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with Scandinavian death metal, leave a redirect. Proto t c 12:22, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Serious issues seem to have been raised on the talk page about the factual accuracy of this article. Also if the original creator is trying to claim ownership of the article he should be banned for failing to comply with Wikipedia GFDL requirements. —gorgan_almighty 14:26, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
