[edit] UK Thrash

Contested speedy deletion candidate; listing here for discussion. No vote. Chick Bowen 20:15, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete - The article seems to be a plug for the website. Whether or not it is, the website's Alexa rating of 6,274,411 (you read that right, 6 million) certainly speaks for itself. -bobby 20:32, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • At present, this is definitely a delete candidate. I've been talking to the author about the need for independent sources, and was going to give him a couple of days to provide them before bringing it to AfD. If it has sources by the end of the AfD period, I'll reconsider. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:19, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong delete The phrase "UK thrash" is used to describe a subgenre of heavy metal in the UK – one of our album articles, Rather Death Than False of Faith, talks about the UK thrash scene at the time the album was released. A Google search for "UK thrash" turns up lots of examples of bands described as "UK thrash acts" or "UK thrash metal", the "UK thrash scene", a "UK thrash assault" and other uses of the expression. The website UKThrash.com is mentioned in less than 10 of those, so the site fails WP:WEB. Ideally, the page should be redirected to thrash metal after the content is deleted, but I'm concerned someone might remove the redirect and recreate the website content.
