[edit] Pirate Metal

The article is totally pointless, adds no viable description. Furthermore it talks about a supposed genre that only contains ONE band Chelman 22:24, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Google hits are to this article and to forum posts. Jkelly 01:06, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - the article admits that the subject is fictional. Trollderella 01:13, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nom --Rogerd 05:34, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It - Fictional subjects aren't allowed on wikipedia? oh. plz delete entries for dragons, unicorns, and eskimos immediately.

I think you misinterpreted the word fictional in this context. I also think that eskimos could be rather irked by the fact that you deny their existence. ;) Chelman 16:06, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep It - The genre exists. Children of Bodom also have a number of pirate metal tunes. The entry needs tweeking, but the fact that you haven't heard of something is not grounds for deletion.

According to this reasoning it would be OK to create Beer metal, Car metal, Sword metal, Love metal, Flower metal, Fire metal, Water metal, Smoke metal and any other NOUN metal related to a theme of a song performed by one artist or another? Chelman 16:06, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep It - stop the oppression of pirates everywhere. this is another attempt to quash their rich pirate culture!

Why are you voting twice from the same IP? Chelman 17:27, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
