Politics in metal music

This might be a featured article on the Hebrew wikipedia but I guess their standards are different to ours. This is nothing more than original research, something more appropriate for further expansion and treatment in an academic paper rather than wikipedia. Bardin (talk) 11:05, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. An encyclopedia article could be written on this topic, but this ain't it.  Powers T 14:50, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Here we have a good subject that may even be capable of a very good - perhaps even featured - article on it with careful research. I for one would be fascinated to explore the history behind metal's strong connection to politics. Bands like Accept and post-The Crimson Idol W.A.S.P. often seem to get it more right than politicians, and at least seem to have decent reasons for what you don't agree with. However, here we have an article that is indeed pure OR and has never been anything else, mentioning only a few examples and never even looking properly at the importance of these. There is nothing salvageable here. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 14:37, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
