"Big Four Power Metal bands" statement

A few months ago in September 2024, a known genre-warring IP sockpuppet has been removing the following statement from the musical style section: "and have been referred to as one of the "big four" power metal bands by Loudwire along with Blind Guardian, DragonForce and Helloween in November 2021." with their reasoning and insistence on it being removed because "big four bands of power metal don't exist" according to them in this recent reverted edit in this edit summary here, as well as the other edit summary here in September 2024, where they resorted to name-calling when I had asked them to stop edit warring over it. So the question is, do we keep it, remove it based on the sock's demands, or do we just say that it is not worth it?

Pinging FMSky who had restored that statement a few times. HorrorLover555 (talk) 18:17, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe its undue for the lead if its not a widely held view but I don't see a reason why it would be removed from the musical style section. --FMSky (talk) 20:13, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely undue for the lead, but I agree with you. There is no reason why it should be removed from that section. HorrorLover555 (talk) 05:30, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In complete agreement here.★Trekker (talk) 12:07, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
