Lists of heavy metal bands by genre

Poorly constructed article littered with POV problems. Essentially repeats the Metal music article that was voted KEEP in recent AFD. All the metal genres have explanations on them, and most of the genre articles contain a much larger, comphrensive list of bands. Those that dont have lists so large, their is actually articles constructed to list bands of that type of music. Another problem on this note is that many of the bands listed here have no musical connection to the genres they have been placed in, as can be seen by reading the genres articles, and the articles of the bands themself. Finally, most of the supposed genres listed do not exist, and consist of a small group of bands with no musical connection, as all the genres and terms used are listed on the Metal music article with a explanation of their meaning and use.

• Weak delete. This should be a category, as the redlink sin this list most likely will mot pass WP:BAND. —Ruud 19:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as useless list that should be a category. Agree with Ruud about the redlinx. -- Krash 16:55, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I concur with the above two votes. This should be a category instead of a redundant and error-prone list. Cparker 21:48, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• delete. Yeah, looks redundant to metal music. Avriette 08:31, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I think the main issue is that it needs to be rewritten. It should probably be structured like the List of alternative music artists (which is alphabetical) instead of forcing them into genre lists, which already exist. WesleyDodds 11:14, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete. Ok, I just noticed the link to List of heavy metal genres at the bottom of the page, which renders this list wholly redundant. WesleyDodds 11:19, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
