[edit] True metal

Since I added the stub notice in February, this page wasn't significantly expanded. In a Google search for "True metal" all the pages were either about music or clones of this page. I can therefore reasonably assume that someone made up the term true metal without a serious reason. If we can't make head nor tail of this page, it'd better be deleted (and True metal (music) could then be moved here). Army1987 15:37, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

I don't see why you couldn't just blank the page, copy the contents of True metal (music) to it, and turn the (music) page into a redirect. Nothing needs to be deleted, although it would make for a messy edit history. Which I suppose you might want to avoid. --Icelight 18:20, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

I didn't think that up. However, should anybody know what the hell "true metals" are and provide more information (however, that's highly unlikely IMO), this page could survive.--Army1987 20:33, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: I think you'll find that "true metals" gives more pertinent results (1850 hits, of which only a handful seem to be Wikipedia-related). However, it seems that "true metals" are simply true metals, i.e. not metalloids. If that's correct, then a) the list on this page is ridiculous, and b) this article is redundant with Metal. -- Visviva 00:16, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• In view of the above, I vote to keep but turn into a disambiguation page, with one link to True metal (music) and one to Metal. -- Visviva 00:16, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• If it is just that, IMO the page is useless. Why not make tons of pages about "true foo" and "true bar" which redirect to "foo" and "bar" because the phrase "true foo" is often used to contrast with pseudo-foo? That's nothing more than the dictionary meaning of the word true. Delete and bring True metal (music) here, adding a dablink template notice about metals (I'm going to add one myself).--Army1987 23:00, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
