Heavy metal

[edit]

I saw an IP add heavy metal as a genre, which was properly sourced, but Retrohead reverted their edits, by saying that the addition of the genre is undiscussed. So I wanted to ask, is consensus required for such addition, in this case? Thanks.-Teh Thrasher (talk) 16:24, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If the change is considered controversial, a consensus is definitely needed in order to avoid edit war. The references added by the IP user weren't discussing the band's musical style. They were concert previews simply reporting that "heavy metal band Anthrax" was coming to town. Wikipedia ought to reflect what the majority of the professional critics say, and in this case, they qualify Anthrax as a thrash metal act.--Retrohead (talk) 20:05, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Retrohead's revert was spot on for the reasons stated. (I got a 404 on the ref link :P ) Mlpearc (open channel) 20:12, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

please watch my video. scott ian rosenfeld stole and copyrighted my songs, metal thrashing mad and panic and did not give me credit for anything else including other song writing, playing live and recording. i have tried to change this in the past many times, but they keep changing it back. i brought neil turbin into the band and i brought greg d"angelo into the band. they never put my name on the album and went and took credit for everything. my name is greg walls, i am on all social media and have a you tube channel. there are all lies on the wikipedia page. anthrax keeps coming back and changing it back to erase me from the bands history. greg walls — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregwalls (talkcontribs) 14:53, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Give me a little time to work on this stuff and I'll blend it all in with references. I can see lots of online interviews mentioning your contribution. References will help nail it down so it stays. Binksternet (talk) 15:56, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Anthrax (American band)Anthrax (band) – Per WP:PDAB. Per this pageviews analysis, the American band received over 100x the amount of views the British band does. Dantus21 (talk) 15:36, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. They're not the only band known as Anthrax, current disambiguation is logical. No need to change.
