Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/French death metal


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   Speedily redirected to Music of France, and closed as moot. This is without prejudice towards any future article on real French death metal, assuming it exists. But this article was a blatant hoax, speaking of playing death metal on French horns, and claiming that French death metal grunts are about bicycle racing on the Tour de France, and as such qualified for speedy deletion. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:12, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

French death metal

Delete mildly amusing but more satire or hoax than encyclopedic; has been blanked before, but that's not the proper way to delete things... Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:14, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not sure if it's a hoax, but if it isn't we would need good indications on why this would be a separate type of death metal. Wikipedia doesn't appear to have other "national" death metal articles. The lack of sources doesn't worry me, those could be added if I believed that it would make the article notable, but it just seems inherently non-notable. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 19:32, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - call it a satire, call it a hoax-- either way it is not a serious attempt at an encyclopedia article and should be deleted (instruments can include french bread? C'mon...) J L G 4 1 0 4  19:46, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete HOAX: for these purposes a satirical article is a form of hoax. Baileypalblue (talk) 21:11, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Changing vote: Redirect to Music of France per Patar knight; I suppose it is a plausible search term. Baileypalblue (talk) 00:19, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. French bread and french horns, huh. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire - past ops) 21:27, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, there is a Vegetable Orchestra who play their music with fresh vegetables, so it's not really that unthinkable that someone would play a piece of french bread. I suspect a baguette wouldn't make a very pleasing sound though unless it's toasted.. - Mgm|(talk) 21:53, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm just trying to imagine death metal with a french horn. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire - past ops) 22:01, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The Red Hot Chilli Pipers do AC/DC's Thunderstruck, also Smoke on the Water and We Will Rock You, on bagpipes. I've played the drum part to Wipeout on a djembe (when the drummer - and kit - failed to turn up). It's amazing what can be done sometimes. French horn in metal, possible. French bread, no.

 * Delete though there is plenty of death metal in France (but not of this kind, and not of a necessarily notable kind). Drmies (talk) 23:04, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Music of France as a plausible search term. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 23:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect and kudos for Patar knight for finding a reasonable redirect target. =- Mgm|(talk) 08:53, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

(Also, there might be Death metal in France - I didn't think it was big in Finland. Then they sent Lordi to Eurovision in 2006.) DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) | (talk to me) | (What I've done)  10:55, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirection vers Music of France. "Pain français" comme d'un instrument? Oui, je crois que. (In English, that means "Redirect to Music of France. 'French bread' as an instrument? Yes, I believe that." - That last bit was sarcasm, by the way.)
