Christian death metal

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Whilst it is clear that there are Christians that play death metal, there is no indication that this is a legitimate subgenre or even a particularly notable movement. This is reflected in the lack of coverage; whilst it is trivially easy to find references to death metal bands that are Christian, I can't seem to find anything talking specifically about the "Christian death metal movement" in any detail whatsoever in reliable sources. In the interestes of fairness I cleaned up the article before nominating, removing the OR, peacocking and non-reliable sources (Tartarean Desire, Imperiumi, Metal for Jesus). In fact, the whole subject is dealt with better on the Christian metal page, and in the absence of significant coverage cannot justify its own page. At present it's rubbish even as a dicdef... Christian death metal is death metal bands that are Christian. No other differences. Move along now, nothing to see here.
