[edit] Thunderbolt (band)

Not notable band yet, with 1 album allmusic. Doesn't meet WP:MUSIC. feydey 23:50, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment: They are (or were) apparently somewhat popular in Norway. For what it's worth, the article on the Norwegian wiki has more detail. I'm not sure that that article is worth much, either, though. I cleaned up this one a little, but I would not be sad to see it go. Maybe if there were some sign that they are still active; their label only shows one record and doesn't suggest that we should expect anything more. —HorsePunchKid→龜 02:47, 6 October 2005 (UTC)


Comment: Although the norwegian wiki article is poor (its even mainly a rip of from a festival presentation from 2004), the english version has now been made proper (the initial entry was abrupted, hence not finished) and as an entry comment I would like to point out that Thunderbolt actually achieve the WP:MUSIC by the following points:

  • 2: International tour / gigs (they comply to both)
  • 3: Two albums on 'major' labels (the second album is finished and even printed, but shipment/release was postponed by the label due to marketing reasons... however, to my knowledge it will be released within few weeks from now)
  • (4: Even if 'prominently' can be discussed, they're one of the very few metal bands besides Satyricon, Dimmu Borgir and Pagan's Mind that are frequently mentioned in the mainstream press in addtion to the music press)

Hence, please do not delete this article :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.164.161.140 (talk • contribs)

  • Keep. Based upon the info above, plus the rewrite. BlankVerse ∅ 10:31, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
  • What, still open? Clearly a keep, per 85.164.161.140's note; we need to delete people's articles about their local bands that have never played outside school gigs, but this looks like rather more than that. Haeleth 22:45, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
