[edit] Midgårds Söner

I fail to see how this band meets WP:MUSIC guidelines. Their first two releases sold 3000 and 7000 copies respectively, and apparently they were not signed to any label. Claims touring - but nothing backs this up, really, and the assertion is vague. Nothing about this band on All Music Guide, and 459 Google hits when excluding Wikipedia and its mirrors. The Swedish Wikipedia version is a substub (which would have gone under CSD A7 over here). Punkmorten 08:11, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: it's awkward to admit, and I don't know enough to say "keep", but I have actually heard of this band. I think they are or were somewhat notable in Swedish nazi/white power music (or whatever the correct term is), and the band member with the nickname "Nitton" (Patrik "Nitton" Asplund) was one of the more notorious young neo-nazis in the 1990s and figured a lot in Swedish media when he publicly left the nazi circles a few years ago and published a book about it. (The size of the Swedish article is not really relevant; the Swedish Wikipedia is full of substubs, even on significant topics.) up+land 15:49, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep The nazism might serve as notability, and the small amount of Google hits might validate a stubby article. AdamBiswanger1 21:06, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Move? to Patrik Asplund if the book is notable maybe. Clearly below WP:MUSIC. ~ trialsanderrors 01:48, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete — This article was created over nine months ago. If no WP:MUSIC criteria or other external verification of notability has been added yet, then it probably won't be. --Satori Son 15:17, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment, same as Uppland. I too have heard of this band, and as Uppland says, they are one of the more famous White Power bands in Sweden. It seems they have releasted some of their albums on "one of the more important indie labels" (the Ultima Thule Records, which is, I think, the largest Vikingarock label in Sweden, it has released albums with at least two of the best known Swedish Vikingarock bands) which would satisfy one of the WP:MUSIC criteria. It also seems they have toured abroad, in Germany. – Elisson • Talk 17:20, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
