[edit] Timeline of heavy metal

Timeline of heavy metal (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Unnecessary article. Category:Timelines of heavy metal already exists with links to each year containing notable events and releases. Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 20:16, 18 May 2008 (UTC) Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 20:16, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete It could be summed up like this. "1970: The first guy screams something about death and Satan into a mic while playing random feedback-laden notes on a guitar, creating the first heavy metal song. 1971-2008: 4 million more recording acts follow the same formula." Seriously, it's redundant to the existing article on heavy metal, and I don't think timelines are kosher here unless in the format 19xx in (name of genre) music.

  • Delete Although the article has potetential not entirely sure it will ever be sourced and completed. I'd also add the entire category to the afd as they don't seem of much worth either. --neonwhite user page talk 21:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Although it's a worthy topic, this is original research, based on someone's opinion about the significance of four events, with no sourcing whatsoever. Mandsford (talk) 22:20, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
