[edit] Eclectic Metal

  • Delete: This isn't a real genre of music. One can describe some metal as being 'eclectic' but it doesn't make it an actual sub genre (like nu metal and death metal) MrHate 03:35, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 00:11, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Wikipedia is big enough for Eclectic Metal. Klonimus 02:06, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep This is more of an unoffical descriptive phrase for some bands but it just might barely make sub-sub genre status. Paradiso 05:34, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, under the bar of notability. Megan1967 06:34, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, unverified - David Gerard 09:17, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as NN subgenre. Every band wants its own genre these days. Radiant_* 13:16, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I've never heard of this and I know my metal. The last thing metal needs in more sub-genres Jackliddle 18:37, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unverified. Indrian 05:51, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete how can there be a genre with "eclectic" in the title? --Asriel86 00:55, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge Three+ references in first 20 google links; it appears to be a legit, if rare, music term. DDerby 18:27, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep but needs work. Seems a bit obscure but that's what encyclopedias are for! --Wgfinley 20:16, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete "A rare genre ... transcending all boundries of classification." A classification transcending classification indeed. Gmaxwell 20:22, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
