List of epic metal bands
Unsourced, miscellaneous list of bands from different genres (power metal, symphonic metal, folk metal). There is little enough agreement on the validity of the term "epic metal", finding bands that everyone agrees is epic metal is totally unrealistic.

 * Delete The short article on epic metal itself names most of these bands already. List would only be needed if the article grows and a view point is reached about what can easily be called "epic metal". Dace59 16:29, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Dace59. All bands that are more widely considered "epic metal" are already on Epic metal, which itself is more of a term than a genre. Even if all the entries would be sourced, this list is redundant. Prolog 16:42, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - If there is an article on the genre itself then why delete the list of bands  N  R S T/M\B
 * Because the list is original research. Punkmorten 18:48, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per nom, list cruft, metal cruft. a term that gets slammed to any kind of band really and makes no sense. Epic metal should be AFDed also. Spearhead 20:05, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with epic metal, if the information can be sourced. Olin 15:45, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
