The result was   delete. "It's useful" is, for better or worse, not a convinving argument to keep something.

Trance metal

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I really do hate to put articles up for deletion, but this article has no reliable sources and is entirely OR. There is no proof that this is an actual form of music. RG (talk) 18:26, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Isn't Metal Hammer Magazine statement about trance metal genre reliable source, this can be read in their magazine? Little bit googling about trance metal and you find lot of talk about the genre and lot of bands that use this to descripe their music. I would say that it must stay since it is growing genre.

Articalhero is right. Maybe the decision of Trance metal being sucessful is done here in WP, and I do not want this genre die like oldschool Rap Metal.--188.100.178.7 (talk) 08:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
