[edit] Beef metal

Fake subgenre of metal (quote : Bands of beef metal are well known but the term itself is generally unheard of, even as an undergroud subgenre of metal) Very few relevant ghits, no reputable sources. Punkmorten 21:33, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The fact that the article says that "[beef metal] itself is generally unheard of" is proof enough that it isn't deserving of an article here. --Thorne N. Melcher 22:52, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, I couldn't find any verifiable sources for the term, and the only article that linked to the term was made to do so by one of this article's editors very recently. -- H·G (^words/_works) 07:35, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I personally think it merits a page, I have seen people on underground metal sites discussing such a sub-genre, saying that bands like Sabaton are just too different to most power metal to be named as such, this new sub-genre is at present known as beef metal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ubertron (talk • contribs) 2 August 2006 Beef Metal is not a 'fake' subgenre of metal. It has recently become a recognised term among fans of certain bands mentioned in the article. You may find the term on a number of music websites and forums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.29.250.145 (talk • contribs) 2 August 2006

• Comment - as I see it, this only clarifies that the word is a neologism that cannot be backed up by verifiable sources. If significant media on the genre (some well-known zines, for example) can be cited as referring to the term, I'd be willing to change my vote. -- H·G (^words/_works) 08:08, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
