No discussion in reliable published secondary sources. "Official website" and various forums don't cut it. Not notable. A loose noose (talk) 06:13, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Not well known here State Side (U.S.), they are an extremely popular band in Europe, especially in the Scandinavian Countries. With reviews from Secondary – Reliable and Independent organizations such as Rock Hard (magazine) – Metal Hammer and Loudwire, to name a few, and shown here [1]]. Believe they meet our criteria for inclusion. ShoesssS ^Talk 14:19, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It's clear the nom didn't practice WP:BEFORE at all and simply made their "Not notable" judgement based on the sources currently in the article. They need to understand there are countries with other languages and topics that are primarily known in those countries so there isn't the same proportional of editing in English WP as English language based topics do. Just with English sources, this easily passes WP:GNG as well as a slew of criterion on WP:NBAND (radio rotation, at least 2 albums on major record label (Sony), has preformed on multiple television shows, etc.). After only a few seconds of searching I found Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles, KNAC, Screamer magazine and Blabbermouth.net given together extensive coverage. [2][3][4][5][6] And these are just English language sources from the last couple of years of a Swedish band. Of course there is much more in the European languages and likely going back to the 1990s when the popularity of this band emerged. --Oakshade (talk) 22:41, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes WP:GNG. Fit India 09:36, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - based on the research conducted by Shoessss and Oakshade above, which clearly didn't take very long. Per WP:BEFORE and WP:NEXIST, someone concerned about the state of the article could search for those additional sources and add them to the article him/herself. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:31, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
