Punk metal

It violates multiple Wikipedia policies and is a general mess. These policies include WP:NOR and WP:CITE.  Thundermaster TRUC 15:15, 1 December 2007 (UTC) 09:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Could you be a bit more specific of exactly which polices it violates? Lugnuts (talk) 11:54, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Can see nothing about it that justifies a deletion. Definitely needs cleaning up, yes. But deletion seems excessive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.191.86.14 (talk) 11:59, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. There's been no reliable sources provided since its last deletion discussion (or ever), so this article may contain a fair amount of original research. CloudNine (talk) 13:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Punk metal is a legitimate musical genre. The article does need heavy clean-up though; the only source I've been able to come up with is . Patzak (talk) 15:58, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. NPOV is also blatently violated. DragonDance (talk) 20:29, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge or redirect to Crossover or Crossover-trash. -RiverHockey (talk) 20:55, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per above comments. While this article is unsourced, it has links to more detailled articles that are sourced, and most of those articles link to it. --Blanchardb- Me  MyEarsMyMouth-timed 22:44, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete made up umbrella term. All the geners on this already have there own articles no reason for this information to be repeated here. Ridernyc (talk) 02:04, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete Based on the citation given above (and my admitedly limited knowledge), "punk metal" appears to be an historic term from the 80s that does not apply to contemporary genres. It further appears that this article contains not only original research but that this OR is based on a mistaken belief that anything with both punk and metal roots qualifies as "punk metal". Crossover or Crossover thrash does need to be kept in its own article, however. CAVincent (talk) 02:16, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment crossover thrash can simply be merged into the the thrash metal article. Ridernyc (talk) 02:24, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I think Hardcore punk is quite enough. NSR 77  T C  21:14, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NEO. The description given is largely the same as Hardcore punk and we already have an article for that. A1octopus (talk) 18:42, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
