Our goal is to have the most comprehensive Metal Band archive, period. There are tons of great bands that go unnoticed in other wiki's due to outrageous stipulations. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles ''Like here!'']
'''''That is purely ridiculous...'''''
Alot of really good bands do not qualify due to one or more of those ''guidelines'', so they are penalized. And on ''another snobbish Wiki'', it's editors can be real sticklers about their ''suggest guidelines for acceptance'' to their precious Wiki. Why?
WellOur goal is to have the most comprehensive Metal Band archive, not hereperiod. GrantedOther places, we are many really good bands do not out qualify for inclusion, due to be a one or more of their ''suggested guidelines for acceptance'''local band repository'. Why? Because they are ''not'', but if a band is good and noteworthy, they should be mentioned"famous enough".
<big>So, 'Famous does not necessarily mean good. There'why'' is YOUR band s a ton of famous people that are known for nothing constructive. Alot of "popular" things are horrible. We do not rule talent by "chart sales". Lots of (c)rap sells platinum, yet listed?</big>it's talentless noise destroying society.
