[edit] Gothic metal/Temp

This temp page no longer has a purpose. It was originally created to serve as a home to a draft version of a revised copy of Gothic Metal during dispute over the article. Since then, the dispute has been resolved and the article has been revised, with all consequtive edits made to the main article. As such, this old, draft copy, doesnt have a purpose, and to save newer uses making edits to this without reason, it would be better to simply delete it Leyasu 03:25, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete if it helps to get it removed, but surely there must be a quicker way to remove temporary forks after they've gone live? Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 14:20, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, since it's now redundant and keeping it won't help anyone. Speedy if someone can get past the criteria. - Bobet 20:52, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, for the above reasons. Some articles still link to it, though. -- Parasti 22:20, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Leyasu. Temporary subpage not in use anymore. I had started it in order to deal with a somewhat major NPOV/content dispute between two other users that went on for a few weeks, but the tension there appears to have mellowed out. It's served its purpose and can be deleted. --Idont Havaname 23:32, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: since it appears there has been a ton of edits to the temp article, someone will probably need to merge the page history from the temp article to the main article to prevent the contribution history from getting lost. If there are no objections, you could just tag the main article with {{db-g6}} and get it done. - Bobet 23:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
• Changing vote to db-g6 for Gothic metal, per Bobet. --Idont Havaname 00:16, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
• Erm, vote changed to history merge, as per Bobet. -- Parasti 00:52, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
