Talk:List of Viking metal bands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Could we point out who the prominent ones are?
- I'm going to remove all the ones that don't have articles and the ones whose article doesn't explicitely say they're viking metal (for example I alreday removed Falconer, which is power metal, not viking metal). The few that will be left will probably be the prominent ones! IronChris | (talk) 19:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?
I'm hereby suggesting we merge this page with the main page on Viking Metal. Some metal genres, such as Industrial Metal, already have the list of bands within the main page rather than as a separate one, and they have many more than this list. The list of viking metal bands is currently very small and I don't think it justifies an entire page to itself. This list could very easily be incorporated into the main article without making it seem overly long or confusing. Prophaniti 06:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. IronChris | (talk) 00:25, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- I agree as well. It's a short list and will not become a long one, at least for many years. Prolog 04:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Right, I have gone ahead with the merge since it has now been over a week since the suggestion and there have been 2 agreements, no disagreements. I believe I've cleared up all double redirects (except one that was within the log of discussions on articles to be deleted. This was tagged as not to be altered). Hopefully this shouldn't cause any trouble. Prophaniti 20:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Un-Merged!
I decided to recreate this list of viking metal bands because I feel the original reason for the merge above is rather flimsy and quite irrelevant now. There is a list of industrial metal bands now so why not one for Viking metal bands too? At the very least, this will help to avoid more erroneous additions of (non-folk) viking metal bands to the list of folk metal bands. There's no minimum amount of entries that a list must have on wikipedia and if you were to take a look at some of the featured lists in the past, you'll find lists that contain a relatively small number of entries. See for instance the list of calypso-like genres with its 14 entries (but one hell of a long lead section). Since I just spent a few hours adding references to the list of folk metal bands, you can forgive me if I'm too tired to add every single viking metal band that has an article on wikipedia onto this list of viking metal band. Feel free to do so but only if you are willing to look up the references. --Bardin (talk) 12:36, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] FFinntroll
Is Finntroll not counted as Viking Metal?JackorKnave (talk) 17:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Nah, that'd be folk metal. Folk metal and Viking metal do have overlaps and there are some bands that are both, but Finntroll is purely folk/ black metal. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 19:26, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
