[edit] Ultima Thule (rock band)

Yes, it's another non-notable band. Stifle 20:56, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep; a Google search returns more than 100,000 for Ultima Thule. The notability must be put in the article, though. Thelb⁴ 21:24, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. Thule, cites two bands using that name so I'm not sure that your google search is of much use. I'm sure someone who can read Estonian would be able to confirm their notability (or otherwise), but I was unable to. Leithp (talk) 22:07, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep; I can make enough sense of Estonian to tell that they definitely seem to be notable. For example, Google turns up [1] saying that "in the late 1980s Ultima Thule was without doubt the number one Estonian rock band." (1980. aastate lõpul oli Ultima Thule vaieldamatult Eesti rokkbänd number 1.) It also says they've toured Canada, so they must have at least some international notability. Other sites I found use phrases like "one of Estonia's most legendary rock ensembles". I've added stub notices to the article in the hope that someone from Estonia can expand it. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 00:18, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Ultima Thule (band), the Swedish "nationalist rock" group (and the controversies regarding their quasi racist funbase) is notable. Ultima Thule, the Estonian rock and blues band is notable in Estonia. --Ezeu 04:13, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
