This might be a fantastic topic for someone in the academia to do research on but at present, I do not think that there are enough sources for wikipedia to have an article on this very broad subject. Note that the previous AFD was on a different titled article that no longer resembles this one. At present, this article is nothing more than a news report of an incident in Malaysia. And wikipedia is not news. Bardin ( talk) 10:54, 25 February 2009 (UTC) reply
Merge into Heavy Metal Music. The Guardian source at the very least reports quite a few examples of 'Satanic worship' associated with heavy metal in Egypt amongst others. I agree that I'm not sure whether there's enough for a whole article without resorting to synthesis, but a section within the other article should be fine. -- Ged UK 15:32, 25 February 2009 (UTC) reply
Keep - there is at least one major mainstream book on the subject, Heavy Metal Islam: Rock, Resistance, and the Struggle for the Soul of Islam, and I would assume at least a few academic articles on JSTOR or a similar database. I'm in the middle of thesis stuff, so won't be able to go dig into sources in the near future, but I think the concept of this article definitely has potential, and several notable sources do exist.
