[edit] Gaahl

Link spam for NN musician. PEAR (talk) 18:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep. I can't claim to be much of a fan of the music he performs, but he's the lead singer of a notable band and has also done some work with at least one other band with an album, as well as appearing in a notable documentary. I'm not sure where the "linkspam" comes from, though. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 08:59, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I may like Gorgoroth and have a considerable amount of respect for Gaahl, but the reason I'm opposing this notion because it is unfounded and uneccessary, especially when many other notable musicians have wikipedia articles. Gorgoroth and its members are exceptionally notable for a black metal band, especially after having aroused a great deal of controversy. - Dark Prime 11:48, 8 August 2007

• Keep. Gaahl is definitely a man of interest for many people whether they are fans of Gorgoroth or not. His notability also justifies an individual page. Archwyrm 21:29, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
