[edit] Epic metal

Not an actual genre in accordance with List of heavy metal genres, and contains only information already in other articles. Delete Spearhead 20:51, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete unless sourced. --W(t) 20:53, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep it - I'm not a prolific wikipedia user, but I found this article very helpful finding bands that I would like.--128.12.193.230 22:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep the contents. Several sources cite it, such as BNR Metal Pages and Metal Archives. The articles contents shouldnt be lost. If the stub on the List of heavy metal genres article is longer, and more detailed i suggest to leave a redirect to the List of heavy metal genres article. If it isnt, i suggest merging the data from here into that article, as to not lose the information. Ley Shade 21:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Spearhead has done some good tidying up, but I don't know if this is suitable. --MacRusgail 22:09, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete but keep the contents as per Ley Shade. --IronChris 22:54, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete with possible merge per Ley Shade. Made up genre.--Isotope23 20:05, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Not enough discussion to present strong reasons for either keeping or deleting; some recommendations such as deleting but keeping appear to be impractical. If a merge and redirect is what is desired, please explicitly state so. If the article contains information present in other articles, what is barring anyone from redirecting it to the most appropriate article (if I may enquire)?

  • Keep per Ley Shade. bbx 22:37, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
