Unnotable band GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 15:16, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article about an unnotable Norwegian thrash metal band with one demo and one studio album. Sourced solely to the web page of the subject, which is never a good sign. The sourcing isn't any better on the German and Norwegian wikis either, actually, there are no sources whatsoever, just the myspace / official page of the band. The creator of the article is blocked for copyright violations. I searched with their sole studio album and the only decent source was a Metal.de review. There were nothing else that establishes notability (well, maybe aside from the fact that the founding members were in a notable band, although only one of them has an article). So yeah, I think they are non-notable. Oh! I forgot to mention that the article is tagged for sources and notability. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 15:14, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Einherjer seems the most obvious outcome, where this band is already mentioned. \it's easy enough to verify the basic facts about the band. --Michig (talk) 19:11, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above, not independently notable at this time, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:53, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
