Dragon Metal
Apparently this was deleted once already and someone re-created it as Dragon metal. Malathion 2 July 2005 10:11 (UTC)

Articles Black metal and Dragon metal listed on WP:VFD Apr 27 to May 3 2004, consensus was to delete. Discussion:

Two articles linked from the recently deleted Lordhelme article. Both look fictitious. Note, if these are deleted the mediawiki boilerplate text also needs amending. -- Graham :) | Talk 23:22, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. Not only are they linked from Lordhelme, both cite Lordhelme as the only band playing the genre.  Useless. - Lucky 6.9 01:19, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. These are not real genres. Jgm 02:13, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, what about Tolkien metal, Troll metal, etc.? Are those real? Everyking 02:51, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * The bands cited as playing Tolkien metal exist, as do the bands cited as playing Troll metal. DS 02:55, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Yes, it seems so...Lordhelme does not exist, is that what you're implying? Fantasy metal was started by the same contributor as the two I mentioned. Everyking 03:56, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Question. Can someone who knows the heavy metal scene comment on whether Tolkien metal and troll metal are recognized categories? Even if the bands exist, the categories might not. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:00, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * most of these "genres" seem to be derived of black metal and are largely discernable only by lyrical theme. I vote for a lot of these minor genres to be deleted. Spearhead 3 July 2005 16:16 (UTC)
 * Keep. There is no reason to delete it, an it might be a fringe genre.  Falcon 00:57, Apr 29, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Categories invented for the promotion of Lordhelme. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:00, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * I, too, support the deletion of the articles that existed solely for the promotion of Lordhelme.DS 02:33, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - yet another bollocks metal subgenre Spearhead 3 July 2005 16:16 (UTC)
