The article Kalle Sundström has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Previously a long-term unreferenced biography of a living person. No evidence found to suggest that this subject meets either the general notability guidelines or the notability guidelines for musicians. A previous article on this subject appears to have been tagged for speedy deletion on the grounds of non-notability (going by this page's creator's talk page).

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. CharlieDelta (talk) 06:29, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi everybody. I'm just rewriting de:Grindcore in german WP. As I've seen in the english article, there was a Grindcore special in Terrorizer magazine issues 180 and 181. Unfortunately there is no archived version everywhere in the web and one can only order backissues from issue 19x up, so I ask if someone of you has these issues and could make it accsessible for me in any appropriate way (Scan, E-Mail or whatever).

In the article for Asking Alexandria, it stats that their roots are in Dubai, United Arab Emirates when it is actually York, North Yorkshire which is in England. Now to avoid edit warring, I brought the matter here as my reference is on Wikipedia's blacklist...Crowned jester (talk) 02:40, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Genres repeatedly changed from nu metal to experimental rock, despite the former being heavily sourced, and the latter only has one source. WTF (talk) 07:17, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

An editor is repeatedly changing mentions of The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) to say that it's an EP, even though the band's official website and Allmusic say that it is an LP. WTF (talk) 07:18, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

The article Pentagram (Mezarkabul album) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of meeting WP:NALBUMS, a couple of minor mentions in published (gBooks) works found. No references available in the Turkish article

I thought that the rock am concerts were held in the US but then i found out that they are in Germany. Is there any 2-3 day concert like that held annually in the US?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.139.99.3 (talk) 12:30, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but do you mean the Rock Am Ring concerts? If so, then yes, it is in Germany; I saw it on the page. Also, beware of the WP:NOTAFORUM guidelines. Backtable _{Speak to me}^{concerning my deeds.} 21:09, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

• hi everyone, take a look at Area51 (band) and join the AFD disscution. Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 10:00, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

There is a request for moving at the above link. It is contemplating whether or not it should be moved from The Dawn Of... to The Dawn of.... Input is welcome. Backtable _{Speak to me}^{concerning my deeds.} 05:18, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Since the decision came that reviews should be in a separate box from the infobox, there is a backlog that needs to be dealt with. This certainly affects this WikiProject, since metal albums are one of the types of pages that this WikiProject addresses. The backlog is detailed at Category:Infobox album with reviews, and any help reducing the list is welcome. Thank you and have a nice day. Backtable _{Speak to me}^{concerning my deeds.} 23:45, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

PS: It is also important to point out that as of this post, the backlog has over 52,000 pages included, in case you're wondering. Backtable _{Speak to me}^{concerning my deeds.} 23:48, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Christianity in heavy metal has been nominated for deletion. Comments are welcome at the nomination page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christianity in heavy metal. Dragquennom (talk) 20:45, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Alcest should be rated as a higher importance as it is one of the main bands in the Black-Gaze Metal Genre, Even gaining attention form such places like Pitchfork Media —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.55.186.181 (talk) 22:41, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

The "Black-Gaze Metal Genre"? I doubt that even exists. LuciferMorgan (talk) 21:10, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Are interviews done by sites like MetalSucks and Metal Covenant considered reliable enough to be used here? I searched the archives and didn't find anything on this. Thanks. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 08:05, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

I have not heard of Metal Covenant before your post, and I am visiting it currently. I am familiar with MetalSucks, though. I have even used MetalSucks as a source in the past. Some more opinions would certainly be of use for this mattter, but I personally have no objections toward either site being used for their interviews. Backtable _{Speak to me}^{concerning my deeds.} 00:31, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Great, thank you. I figure an interview is an interview and can only be pretty reliable. Bonus question: the editorials at Metal Sucks, specifically those written by the owners, Vince Neilstein and Axl Rosenburg—I regret their nom-de-plumes, but that's beside the point—would those be considered reliable? They can basically be "opinion pieces". But I am having a very difficult time discerning the difference between a blog (like eBlogger) with 14 year olds writing about their fantasies versus these pseudo-professional blogs or webzines... I'm not sure what they are. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 00:54, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

12 Gauge (album) is a current featured article candidate. A featured article should exemplify Wikipedia's very best work, and is therefore expected to meet the criteria. Please feel free to leave comments. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 19:40, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Howdy. Looking for a subject expert to check if the red link Band With No Name in the article Dry Cell (band) should in fact point to Thebandwithnoname ? - TB (talk) 18:02, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Reading from both the blue articles, it looks like Band With No Name and Thebandwithnoname are unrelated bands. The Dry Cell (band) page describes Band With No Name as having an EP titled Humanity, while Thebandwithnoname is described on its own page as having four studio albums and no releases with Humanity as its title. Thank you for your interest. Backtable _{Speak to me}^{concerning my deeds.} 21:45, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm looking for quality and importance assessments on 13 (Megadeth album). Thank you!--L1A1 FAL (talk) 21:43, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Howdy. I was looking at a couple metal band articles, and I noticed that some of them had a graph timeline with member info. I've made one for Skid Row. Before I place it into the article, would someone more knowledgeable than me about Skid Row mind checking the dates for me? Thank you.--Rockfang (talk) 14:33, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Rorschach originated from a band called Bone of Contention which both Keith and Charles were in but like to pretend that they were not... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ogdread Gorey (talk • contribs) 23:02, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

I have recommended a merge from Detente (band) to Fear of God (American band) because notability for the former article does not seem to be established (official website also conflates the two: http://www.fear-of-god.com/). Cheers!Jarhed (talk) 17:30, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Does somebody here have the print issues of Rock Confidential Magazine of spring 2010 (March, April or May) and could check for me if it contained an interview with the singer of Overkill? -- Cecil (talk) 16:30, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

… Design the Skyline I'm sure just seeing that name makes a lot of you cringe. But anyway, apparently upon creating the page for DTS, I'm just here to say that it never got patrolled or even checked up. The article has never been created before yet didn't even get a review other than tons of vandalism and more than a dozen good article ratings. I'm here to ask for someone to patrol it or do what they need to do since I'm not too aware what goes on with new articles. With it having more than enough sources, I'm determined it passes WP:MUSIC also upon being signed to a notable label, it should stay up. Even if they weren't signed, the article would still be eligible for a WP entry in the same style as Rebecca Black: all the publicity. Wikipedia mainly bases article's creations based of on notability after all. • GunMetal Angel 13:37, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

This page of the most recent Wolves in the Throne Room album does not have a cover yet; it was made by a new user who isn't experienced in uploading covers to Wikipedia. I'm not experienced in that either. Is there anyone willing to upload that cover to the page? For more information, see Talk:Celestial Lineage.
