Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of melodic death metal bands (2nd nomination)
I really don't understand the logic behind the argument "This is precisely what categories are intended for". I've looked at the Wikipedia:Categorization|category guideline, and nowhere does it say categories were intended to make lists obsolete or to justify their deletion. In fact we have a |guideline that says precisely the opposite. Not to mention that this list contains plenty which cannot be included in the category, including country of origin, formation date, and references. Besides, if this ''were'' inherently |original research (which it's not), we'd have to delete the category as well
