Deleted via prod then restored because the restoring admin said it had "sufficient coverage". However, a Google News search doesn't seem to show anything. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 17:59, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

• Speedy keep. If the nom had bothered to read my edit summary when I removed the prod or looked on the article's talk page then we wouldn't need to waste time on another no-hope AFD.--Michig (talk) 18:23, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
  • There's no need to be snarky. If the band has so many sources, how about putting them in the article? What good are they doing on the talk page? Are we now supposed to look on article talk pages for sources? Herostratus (talk) 18:33, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
    • Some of us have other things we need to do besides edit Wikipedia. I put them on the talk page as I didn't have time this morning to edit them into the article. And yes, people are supposed to look at talk pages before bringing articles to AFD.--Michig (talk) 18:37, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
• Keep, I guess, despite the unpronounceable name. They have several albums, at least one (if not more) are on a real label (Regain Records, which is bluelinked). That would meet WP:BAND #5. "Has released two or more albums on a major label". If the statement about a "tour together with Dark Funeral across Europe" is true, that would meet WP:BAND #... well damn. There used to be criterion about international touring, but I guess it's gone now. Well anyway - they are not just a local band. Sure you're not going to find many sources about them - they're Swedish headbangers. Still: records, tours, longevity - I'd say, keep. Herostratus (talk) 18:31, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
• Comment. Funny thing, when I'm creating an article I try and put the supporting citations in before I put in lots of copy. Which got me thinking, I wonder if that prose was added rather quickly. If you do a quick google search for the phrase The band was originally called Uninterred, the first line of the Biog section, it's amazing how many other websites have the exact same phrase in reference to this band. So, that rather suggests its a G12 Speedy Delete for WP:COPYVIO. Not wishing to be snarky, and noting that there do seem to be enough sources to support an article, can I suggest the author do a rather rapid re-write? --ThePaintedOne (talk) 21:25, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

It's more likely that those other websites have copied the contents of this article, which has been here since 2004 with most of the text little changed for about 6 years years, so it's not remotely a candidate for G12. The original author hasn't contributed to Wikipedia for over 6 years, so I doubt any suggestion in that direction would be productive.--Michig (talk) 21:35, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

• • Fair point, my bad I assumed this was a new article.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 22:02, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
