Ok.
I'm going for 1,000 now. I've got up to about 560 so far.
What's missing in your opinions ?

It's a very comprehensive list. I should mention Pestilence's Spheres.
 
But... N.W.A.? Wu Tang Clan? Only Body Count is enough to represent Rap Metal IMO.

Well for a start symphonic could still be better presented. Nightwish, Epica, Therion and Within Temptation are good choices but those only really cover the 'big guns' of the style. I know you have Delain there but for me that doesn't really cut it as they're not far off being one of the big guns themselves, and that album is also one of the weakest symphonic releases I've heard. 

Explore the following albums as a start:

Some further folk suggestions that show different sides to the genre or are highly regarded releases:

http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/falconer--armod.aspx" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/falconer--armod.aspx

It seems to also be missing medieval metal but that's not a style of folk metal I've explored properly yet. The bands tp look into though would most likely be Subway to Sally and In Extremo.
