[edit] Articles that need to be revamped

[edit] Genre articles

• Death metal
• Doom metal (Article needs reorganising, expanding, and citations)

[edit] Band articles

• Celtic Frost
• Dead Brain Cells
• Judas Priest
• Mastodon (Too bland, band has expanded, also personal bios need to be added)
• Quiet Riot
• Vader (has been tagged)
• Summoning (still shows signs of copy-and-paste work from the band's website, grammar issues)
• Beyond Dawn (need a more comprehensive biography - I've done the best I can with it so far)

[edit] Other

• List of heavy metal bands
• Heavy metal in Islamic countries (a complete rewrite and expansion is needed; currently mostly a quick c+p job from other pages)

[edit] Deletion

(Please list heavy metal related topics which are being considered for deletion here. Results of recently closed debates can be left up.)

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pornogrind Deleted and redirect to grindcore: I suppose if it is deleted (or merged into Grindcore) Goregrind should follow the same suit as should the other grindcore subgenres.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pop Metal Deleted, Redirected, and Protected.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Noisegrind Deleted.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cybergrind Deleted.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Death shriek (2nd nomination) Deleted.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ad Hominem (band) Deleted.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Havamal (Album) Redirected to Falkenbach
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BNR Metal Deleted.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Loretta Berardi (wife of Ronnie James Dio) Deleted.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LeBron's Lightning Lemonade (suspected hoax, supposedly a bubble gum for black metal fans!!) Deleted.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Choronzon (Band) Deleted.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Seward Peninsula Thrash Metal Deleted.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Epic metal (2nd nomination) Deleted, redirect to power metal.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pirate Metal Deleted.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Black concert T-shirt

[edit] Undeletion

• Teutonic Thrash - Kept Deleted.
• Grand Belial's Key - Undeleted, Afd

[edit] Mergers

• Death and Roll into Death metal to little distinction and too few bands for DnR - dnR was deleted
• Iranian metal Heavy metal music in Iran (renamed) into Heavy metal in Islamic countries or Rock and alternative music in Iran.

Note that there is currently a debate about whether this article should be kept, merged or re-nominated for deletion. All invited to check out the article and pass opinion in the talk page.

• Funk Metal and Funk rock. There is too much overlap and most articles are primitive stubs with little content.
• Proto-metal into Traditional metal. The traditional metal article basically has the same info as the proto-metal article and predates it.

[edit] Articles for protection

[edit] Other

• Heavy metal music (needs cleaning and supervision of NPOV)
• Galactic Cowboys (needs citations and NPOV, already made major changes, just need some outside opinion)
• Genre Clean Up: Follow the list of Cross-Genre References on List of heavy metal genres, and merge them all into one article. When this chore is done, put them up for AFD. Please do not put an article connected to the List of heavy metal genres up for deletion. Ley Shade 23:15, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template

• Infoboxes (Use This article to go through each genre/cross-genre refernece and add an info box to those that dont have them)
