[edit] Eclectic metal

Another non-existent psuedo heavy metal genre. The System of a Down article doesn't even refer to it. Delete. Spearhead 18:59, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

This AfD is being relisted to generate a clearer consensus. Please add new discussion below this notice. Thanks! Mo0[talk] 07:42, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: This is the second nomination for this article Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Eclectic_Metal. -- JJay 08:18, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete doesn't link to any bands and term is not common useage in any way--MONGO 09:43, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Yet another 'genre' with nothing to distinguish it (in the same way as death metal or speed metal, which are real genres). Adjective + genre != sub-genre. Was pretty lucky to survive on a no-consensus. Plenty of Google hits, but, as you'd expect, they're along the lines of "Ozzfest attracts an eclectic metal mix" or even "eclectic metal wall clock". --Last Malthusian 12:36, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Oh come on, this says it all. "An eclectic metal band could include any variation of instruments, sounds or emotions in its line-up." Now, some might say a genre which includes every single band on the planet must be notable, but I'm of the opposite viewpoint. --Last Malthusian 12:40, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - The two words do give a lot of hits, including 500 coincidences with "System of a Down", but most are repeats or, as Last Malthusian points out, use eclectic as a separate adjective as in "Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian - one half of the eclectic metal quartet". It might deserve a sentence in System of a Down, but I'm happy leaving that to those editors and simply delete it. ×Meegs 23:17, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
