Isn't it a bit early to use this template? My concerns:

• This template is based on an article containing unverifiable claims and original research: Extreme metal.
• Genres mentioned in this template are regarded extreme. The genres are connected by their extremity. How does that comply with WP:NPOV?
• Genres mentioned in this template are regarded metal. What about grindcore, crust punk, deathcore and other metal/hardcore hybrids?
• Unlike the f.e. the heavy metal template, sub genres and sub-sub-sub genres are mixed.
• There are enough of these genre boxes at the bottom of the screen, some articles contain 2 or more. I feel we don't need this one.

I think we should wait; the extreme metal article is not yet reliable.

I don't see your problem. If the article has unverified claims I will edit the template to suit the article. I have split the fusion genres, subgenres and genres of extreme metal. I would suggest you consider other options than the removal of the template.

I'm sorry, but I still think this template is hugely dominated by specific POVs and doesn't reflect the general view of extreme metal and it's subgenres. The addition of fusion genres is making this template even more POV, less reliable and less verifiable. For the sake of wikipedia and extreme metal I will nominate this template for deletion.

Firstly, to my knowledge gothic metal isn't a mere death/doom deriative. Gothic metal isn't a simple death/doom + genre X mix. Gothic metal might be influenced by death/doom and grown out of it but that doesn't necessarily make an extreme metal fusion genre, just like reggae isn't just a simple ska/soul fusion anymore (couldn't find a metal related comparison). Gothic metal has excepted less extreme traits and therefore has become a genre that isn't close to it's roots anymore. I'll try to look up some info any time soon.

Secondly, there is no consensus, and consensus (as in "what the majority thinks") is not enough to be on wikipedia. It also should be verifiable. Have you got sources that state gothic metal is an extreme metal genre? If so, I really would like to see them. If not, it may be removed per WP:V.

I will do some research. If I'll fail to find anything that relates gothic metal to extreme metal, and you can't provide any valuable source, I will remove gothic metal from this template.

Gothic metal is part of the extreme metal group as it is a sub-genre of death/doom, an extreme metal sub-genre. And in some ways, I agree with you, if we don't find anything to prove it, we go into the whole POV about metalcore, groove metal and crust punk again. However, you don't like this template, because it's so easy slip anything in like metalcore. Still, gothic metal is a lot closer than bloody metalcore, isn't it? Metalcore has zero roots in extreme metal as it comes from hardcore punk and metal. Gothic metal comes when you fuse two extreme metal genres, death metal and doom.

That is not true. When you fuse death metal and doom you get death/doom. When you fuse (I'd say dilute) death/doom with gothic rock/sung vocals/romantic lyrics/mid paced tempos/symphonic use of keyboards/consonance&harmony then I'd say all extreme elements have been filtered out. Metalcore is not only rooted in hardcore punk but also deeply rooted in thrash metal. Nowadays, many metalcore bands have a style bearly distinguishable from melodic death metal (f.e. The Black Dahlia Murder, Becoming the Archetype, Daysend, Shadows Fall). This is why I don't like this template, there are only few to no reliable sources, so most claims are original research, let alone neutral.

Now I see. If we add gothic metal, which is rooted in death/doom, we would then open the way for metalcore, which is rooted in thrash, and then groove metal, which is rooted in thrash. The worst bit is that, even me, the creator, can see the problems this template, and want it deleted. But both of us have gone through TfD with it and failed twice. So we can't add any more genres.

My reasoning for having the template in black:

• It is a good colour for extreme metal
• Me with other editors, have worked hard to get the v/d/e to show in the black
• Black has been used on other ext. metal templates.

Heavy metal has it's predefined colors but I don't think it can be associated here.

I've removed the derivatives section and moved Stoner and Drone to fusion genres. First, because there is a consensus in Extreme Metal's talk page that Gothic and Groove are neither extreme nor subgenres of the extreme ones, and Doom Metal article cites both Stoner and Drone as it's own subgenres.

@ABC paulista: Just wondering, is there really "consensus in Extreme Metal's talk page that ... Groove [isn't] extreme"? I've looked through it and all I found was some claims that it can't be extreme because it's "mainstream", which is nonsense (thrash metal was just as popular back in its day, as were/are some other genres in this infobox) and wasn't really consensus. I've checked this page as well and found no consensus here either.

If you can find a source that claims that Groove metal is an extreme metal genre, feel free to add it. But without any sources, you should not. We here only add the genres that are considered extreme by sources, and their subgenres and fusion genres.

I don't know. If Groove metal should be mentioned in the "other topics" section, so Gothic metal should be too since Groove metal is no more related with Thrash metal than Gothic metal is related to Death/Doom. Also, topics like Hardcore Punk, Punk Rock seems to be more related to Extreme metal than Grove Metal, since they are the origin of a bunch of subgenres and fusion genres.

So couldn't we add all three of these (meaning hardcore punk, groove metal and gothic metal) into the other topics section ? I think it would be useful, since hardcore punk is both a major source of influence on some primary (thrash, death) and fusion (metalcore, grindcore etc.) genres, as well as, IMO, "to punk rock what extreme metal is to heavy metal", and groove and gothic should be mentioned since they are derivatives of primary genres (included in the extreme metal infobox). I am still especially concerned about groove metal, because I think it is related to current general understanding of extreme metal, and often referred to when the umbrella term is used on Wikipedia (for example, in the infoboxes of Meshuggah and metalcore, extreme metal is used to summarize a number of genres including groove metal).----MASHAUNIX 18:59, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-11-22T18:59:00.000Z","author":"Mashaunix","type":"comment","level":9,"id":"c-Mashaunix-2014-11-22T18:59:00.000Z-ABC_paulista-2014-11-14T01:34:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"SHAUN"}}-->

Mentioned, yes. But there's no point in describing them since they aren't included when articles discuss extreme metal. Hardcore Punk is already mentioned enough, Groove and Gothic should be mentioned in the infobox as derivatives, but nothing more. Infoboxes like Meshuggah and metalcore are wrong if they don't cite Groove because of Extreme metal, but that doesn't seems the case for Metalcore's infobox, since nothing indicates that Groove is one of Metalcore's stylistic origins.

Yes, but unlike with the Industrial Death metal examples, the sources never treat "Industrial Thrash metal" as a complete subgenre on its own. They state that some Thrash metal bands empoyed some industrial influences in some of their music, but they never called them as Industrial Thrash bands or treat it as a full-fledged subgenre, and some eventual Industrial-influenced Thrash metal sound alone is insufficient to call it it's own subgenre.

That could be seen as Genre warring, since WP:EXPLICITGENRES state that every genre must be explicitally attibuted to artists, bands and/or scenes to start being valid, at the same time that occasional mentioning of genres don't make them reliable or notable enough to be here.

No, I was not talking about your action(s) about industrial thrash, but your idea of including all sourced genres in lists, because it open the doors for inclusion of non-notable microgenres or eventual short-lived fusions/influences, leaving the genre listing convoluted big time. Also, genre warring is similar to Edit warring in some points, but they differ a lot in terms of premisse since Genre Warring doesn't revolve around the edits themselves, but around the defense of some genres in particlular and eventual situations, be them inclusional ones or exclusional. Including situational genres cited by one person/source could be seen as genre warring.

  @Sixty Minute Limit: Usually on bigger and more notable templates, only entries with articles are added on them (See the templates for Heavy metal or Hardcore punk for example). For this one though, I think that it is well organised and concise, since it's still a small one (just like the Death metal one). Like I said earlier, I kinda see the point of having article-only entries here, at the same time I feel that it is pretty harmless the way it is now.

  just because something doesn’t have a page, it doesn’t mean it’s not notable, your not the one to decide that. Actually, that's almost exactly what that means. But even if it is notable, navboxes aren't about the notability of topics or non-notability of topics. They're about linking between topics for established articles. I think the overall structure of the template is fine; in the case of the subgenres, having those as sublisted items in the main genres listing seems quite reasonably, actually.

3family6 First of all, I don't think that this is the proper talk page to discuss it, but OK let's continue. You are trying to include both terms in an template without them being cited in the article, which is not how templates work. And when you included them on the main article, you simply included them on the infobox, neither citing them on any section nor including some sources attached to them. In both cases, it does seem that some sourced treat them as subgenres, but it seems that the majority of the sources in their respective articles treat them as mere ideological movements that can span multiple Black metal subgenres, and not as a subgenre themselves. And per WP:WEIGHT and WP:BALANCE, the majority should be more taken into account on such matters. Further, in the Black metal article neither are cited as subgenres, but rather as ideologies, and a similar process can be seen on the Heavy metal template, where both are cited on the "Controversies" group rather on the "Subgenres and fusion genres" one.

Walter Görlitz A template is a tool to categorize and list subjects that are pertinent and/or part of the main article, and neither Unblack metal nor NSBM are cited as part of the Extreme metal umbrella or a subgenre of any of the extreme metal genres there. On the main artcle, it was reached a consensus that only sourced subgenres should be cited there, and neither the main article, nor the Black metal one cite them as subgenres, and in both of their own articles the majority of sources cite them as ideologies rather than subgenres, so I'd like to see a sourcing that supercedes this idea before including them.

3family6, nothing anymore. Honestly, the unwillingness to comply with WP:BRD shown here, alongside all the consequences I passed through this discussion made me totally unwilling to further discuss this matter, it's not worth the effort anymore. So, instead, I'll just make only one proposal: Let's re-add all the subgenres you removed here, also adding Unblack metal and NSBM. If you agree, I'll also do it for other articles that don't cite them as subgenres, and maybe in the future try to rework their own articles to better explicite their subgenre status.

@ABC paulista: you keep harping on BRD, yet it was 3family6 who opened the discussion and both of us have asked what you want and despite the open request, you now claim want nothing.

3family6: could you please add some sources to show the position of Christian metal and unblack metal in the grand scheme of metal, and do so in the extreme metal article. I believe that is what ABC paulista initially requested. Adding something about its history to the two articles would also be appreciated. If they do not belong in this template but instead in {{heavy metal music}}, leave them there. Clearly two distinct templates for a derivative genre.

3family6 and Walter Görlitz, that's not edit warring since the discussuion halted for a week, so it doesn't relate to the previous occurence and bold edits and reverts are not permanently prohibited. Then I went back to a previous version that complies better with WP:BRD, properly applies WP:STATUSQUO, is more consistent with the information presented on the main article and their respective articles, and with how both subjects are treated here (as ideologies rahter than subgenres, let alone extreme ones). I clearly stated my opinion before and then gave you options, to see on what you agreed on if either, and then gave you plenty of time to take actions. But on this week-span you both did absoulutely nothing to solve the problems presented here.

I did not call this recent removal edit warring.

Your actions certainly got discussion started.

YOU still have no earthly clue what BRD means, because you removed the content. 3family6 came here to discuss. I discussed, called your arrogance out and invoked STATUSQUO and then reverted.

You are still, no matter how you try to frame it, trying to apply your own standard to this template. There is WP:NOTIMELIMIT here.

Walter Görlitz, per the WP:BRD cycle, after the reversion is made the dispute must be discussed and the content must be not edited until a consensus is reached, and the content that started the cycle was the inclusion of Christian metal and Unblack metal by 3family6, which I reverted. So per WP:BRD ("After someone reverts your change, thus taking a stand for the existing version or against the change, you can proceed toward a consensus with the challenging editor through discussion on a talk page. While discussing the disputed content, neither editors should revert or change the content being discussed until a compromise or consensus is reached [...] If your bold edit was reverted, then do not re-revert to your version") and WP:QUO ("if you make an edit which is good-faith reverted, do not simply reinstate your edit—leave the status quo up, or try an alternative way to make the change that includes feedback from the other editor") the bold edit, aka the source of discordance, must be kept out from the article until the duspute is solved, and you both are misusing them by keeping the claim on the template. Also, WP:NOTIMELIMIT has nothing to do with what's going on here since it only deals with an article's creation, deletion and merging, neither being the case here, so it's another case of guidelines misusage. But I edited based on WP:BRD and WP:BOLD, since "if you advance a potential contribution on the article's talk page, and no response is received after a reasonable amount of time, go ahead and make your contribution", which was the case with the inertia shown in this case.ABC paulista (talk) 23:49, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-02-13T23:49:00.000Z","author":"ABC paulista","type":"comment","level":8,"id":"c-ABC_paulista-2021-02-13T23:49:00.000Z-Walter_G\u00f6rlitz-2021-02-13T22:42:00.000Z","replies":["c-Walter_G\u00f6rlitz-2021-02-14T01:46:00.000Z-ABC_paulista-2021-02-13T23:49:00.000Z","c-Walter_G\u00f6rlitz-2021-02-14T01:46:00.000Z-ABC_paulista-2021-02-13T23:49:00.000Z-1"]}}-->

I know English is not your first language, but you've got the process wrong. First, it's optional.

I know it's optional, but Wikipedia does encourage to its usage and, as I shown, it does strongly prefer that the author of the bold edit, in this case being 3family6, should be the one to start the discussion as he got reverted, and all edits should be halted until the dispute is over, and that was not respected.

NAVBOX does state that "The articles should refer to each other", and the main article doesn't mention anything about either of them. I've never asked for full-blown information about them to be included into the main article (since no specific subgenre is actually discussed there), but I do ask for mentions. If their articles here in Wikipedia actually supported their supposed "extreme subgenre status", I'd already included them on there, no problems. The fact that I didn't include them show that I coudn't find such support from their sources, and that their own articles and others related to them don't support the idea of them being subgenres.

It's also clear that you do not understand how NAVBOXes work nor are you reading the documentation correctly. As long as an article discusses the topic of the navbox, it can be included on the navbox. For instance, most of the articles linked in Template:Prophets in the Quran do not mention one or more of the other entries. I'd love to see you take your logic to that navbox and start removing content. I suggest you ask about this particular navbox at the Wikipedia pages you repeatedly and unnecessarily link in your responses to see if your interpretation or mine is correct. IJ will not comment on your misinterpretations or misconceptions any further. I will, however, restore any links that you remove for the reason you stated.

You did call me a "tendentious editor", point. A consensus on a reverted bold edit doesn't exist, and assuming such when there's an ongoing discussion on the subject means showing behaviour of someone who's trying to impose its own WP:POV on the matter and trying to WP:OWN the template. I've never said that the entries on a template should refer to each other to validate themselves, but that the main article should refer to the entries (and vice-versa, somewhat), and looking at the example you brought, thats just what the main article does, so, yeah, another bogus argumentation from your part. By the way, even if that wasn't the case and you were right on that regard, the argument would still be bogus per WP:OSE and WP:OTHERCONTENT. You could have focused your energy in addresing the points I made, and tried to solve the problems of WP:RS and WP:COHERENCE, but the flawed and baseless argumentation shown here, combined with the unwillingness to comply with the BRD cycle, tells me that you don't seem to be that interested on "improving" the template, like you claimed before.

Thanks. I see two edits to extreme metal and one to unblack metal and another to the third. @3family6: I don't think you have any problem removing the Christian metal alone. Correct?

3family6 Actually, what I asked is a whole reconstruction of the Unblack metal and National Socialist black metal articles to better reflect their status as subgenres because, by my understanding as a reader on these articles, is that they aren't subgenres but rather ideologies. And that is reflected on the Black metal page, where they are placed under the Ideologies rather than the subgenre's one, and on the Template:Heavy metal music, they are both placed on the "controversies" section rather than the subgenre's too. So being treated as subgenres on some places, and as ideologies at others, is confusing to the reader, and such inconsistency on information fail WP:COHERENCE. Do you think that these points could be addressed? Edit: I see you are already starting it, so I'm content for now.

Both of those articles could use a lot of work in other ways, but that's ridiculous to insist that all that must be done before altering the templates. If you want it that urgently, do it yourself.

3family6 I don't think that these changes I proposed are urgent (not that I care about these genres either, not into them), but I do think that these changes are necessary for consistency.

They could use some re-work as at least one of contributors is not the best at writing prose, but there is no need to rewrite them to reflect that they are sub-genres because they both inherit from various streams.

No genre lives, grows and dies on its own. For unblack metal, it was influenced by black metal, and various streams of Christian music including Christian metal and likely to some extent contemporary worship music. It makes no sense to force every article to have the same format when they all grew in different ways.

So, it seems me that you're stating, or at least implying, that these characteristics "automatically" gives them the status of subgenres, am I right? If yes, I don't think I agree with this, because regional and local scenes like Swedish death metal, Les Légions Noires and Bay Area thrash metal have similar "inheritance", but they aren't considered subgenres of their own.
