[edit] circus metal

This page is much alike the Avant garde metal page. This page however, is completely POV and coining a term. Circus metal, is not a genre of metal known at all, except seemingly as a pet name on yahoo fan site. Also, why would this need a seperate article if its part of the supposed Avant garde metal genre? (which upon reading, lays claim to all the traits of progrssive metal, black metal and gothic metal, claiming to be all three exclusivly). There is no reason for this article, and like several other supposed metal genre articles on Wikipedia, comes across as pure POV, and Neoglism. A fan trying to promote a coined term and a list of their favourite bands. Leyasu 11:19, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep until all this can be sorted out with a Wikiproject or whatever. I see a number of references to it on web sites, not just a Yahoo group. I'm not saying this article shouldn't EVENTUALLY be deleted (maybe; I don't know). I'm saying, rather than individual articles being AfD'd, I'd like to see some sort of proposal from a group of Metal experts on which genre names should and should not have articles.

If i didnt work in metal, and knew this was a genre, i wouldnt of put it up for deletion. As is, this is a made up genre to group a bunch of bands otherwise not confined to anyone genre. With small, and on defining similarites. Leyasu 18:07, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I believe you have expertise, but I'd be happier to see a consensus from a group of people who have expertise (AfD participants can do research, but are not always experts in the subject). I suggested a Wikiproject to you (and others) on your talk page. Absent that, I'm leery. Herostratus 03:54, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
