List of bands of a genre that has yet to prove its legitimacy outside of semi-unreliable Allmusic. Most, if not all bands and artists that call themselves alt-metal are generally easily classified as another legit genre. F-22 Raptör^{Aces High♠} 17:29, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to also point out the "also classified as" part, where most of these bands are described as another genre.--F-22 Raptör^{Aces High♠} 17:30, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep List is a support piece for the main alternative metal wiki-article which, although nom'd for AfD, will likely be a speedy-keep re: WP:SNOW. List article is weak for sources... but sources should be easy enough to find. Wiki libs (talk) 18:00, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This list compliments the Alternative metal page and is a useful resource relating to that article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlecTrevelyan402 (talk • contribs) 18:40, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The alternative metal article is going to be kept, and has a new source from About.com added to it, thus shoring up the legitimacy of the genre's inclusion in wikipedia. So the list should stay as well. —Torchiest ^talk/_contribs 19:58, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
