List of gothic metal and gothic-doom metal bands
Badly designed list of bands. Original list is done on the Gothic Metal article after much discussion to show the stylistic divisions of the music by listing the most Notable and Recognisable bands of each stylistic division. This list is also closely monitered with several bands pending their articles creating by the WP:HMM project. As such this article was created with several Non Notable bands added and more Notable bands removed, it also makes little sense as the bands listed are not of the same forms of music, and is generally a bad My favourite bands version of whats already on the Gothic Metal article.

 * Delete, lists of this type should be about one defined key genre to minimize subjectivity. Also entirely redundant to the lists at Gothic metal, which is by no means too long to require splitting.  Dei zio  11:15, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom as doomcruft, until and unless seven random goths can give me a coherent, consensus explanation of how "gothic doom-metal" is distinctive from mere "doom metal" or "death metal", and some sourcing as to whether the bands tabbed as being GDM groups are happy with the allegation. It reminds me annoyingly about how Winamp's category listing has about ten different kinds of rap while at the same time identifying every piece of music written before 1920 as nothing other than generic "Classical."

 * Delete and send an officious letter to Winamp concerning Orchestral, Instrumental, Vocal, Chamber, Baroque, Opera, Romantic.... etc. categories of classical music, per RGTraynor's complaint. KillerChihuahua?!? 19:46, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
