I forgot that Nightwish was metal, but I really don't see how they can be considered metal in any sense. No (noticable) distortion guitar, no screaming or distorted vocals, and definitely no drugs involved. Looking at the stereotypes for metal bands, I don't see how Nightwish could be one. Maybe it's something about the lyrics?

You don't really need that stuff to be considered metal. Nightwish are certainly Power Metal, and very cheesy power metal at that. Their main novelty and asset is the wonderfully throaty Tarja.

She was the identity of the band. Kicking her out would be as effective as disbanning the band.

All the stuff I listen to has been mentioned, and I also have no idea what "metal" is and how you distinguish it from something else and all the other sub-metal classes. :roll: organisation is only good if you understand the classes.. and they're universally accepted.
