[edit] Heavy metal slang

Heavy metal slang (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unnecessary page, not a page for an encyclopedia, merely a page of heavy metal derogatory terms. Dan 16:39, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete A page like this needs references for every single term. There are no references at all. The topic might be unencyclopedic, but my main concern is lack of references. Shalom Hello 16:52, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete This is screaming "original research" and I am not sure what this would be doing in an encyclopedia anyway. More of an Urban Dictionary thing. As is, it is just a list of terms and definitions, ie: OR laden heavy metal glossary. Pharmboy 17:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete There is no way establishing what expression is the most notable, and which would belong to the article. Also, WP:NOT#INFO Grinder0-0 17:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete Since it probably could be sourced if the author tried. Mandsford 19:51, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete completely original research and I dont think we should be a guide to these terms Corpx 04:36, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. The overwhelming majority of the list smacks of original research, but there's the odd term (Beauty and the Beast vocals being the first one on the list which I can see) which has wide currency in descriptions of heavy metal music and may just be sourceable somewhere out there. In its current state, however, this isn't a good candidate to be kept. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 05:53, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. These lists of slangs have been on my list for a while, so thank you Danorama for saving me the keystrokes. Burntsauce 21:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and it's original research. --SunStar Net talk 21:45, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, just clean it up a little. I shall Mezmerize you! My edits shall Mezmerize you!! My articles shall Mezmerize you!!! 23:31, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Keep Keep Keep Keep! Me and my friends use metal slang all the time, we saw this page and saw how right it was. The only source slang comes from is teenagers like myself. Morspecs911 12:49, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
    • This is not a vote. Please read WP:USEFUL, filed under arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Thanks! Burntsauce 18:37, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • While I disagree with the nomination that all the terms are derogatory, delete as listcruft. — Moe ε 19:38, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
