Nothing here indicates that this band was notable in itself, only that some of its members did possibly notable stuff elsewhere. ★Trekker (talk) 14:21, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the SPLC is not a realible source. They are notorious for engaging in inflamatory attacks on people. They also a fund raising group, that invests most of its money and resources into fund raising, so they have an incentive to try to make the groups they attack seem to be more influential than they are. Some of the so-called groups they cover are really just one person who self-publishes a newsletter, and sends it out to less than a dozen other people. SPLC builds a phantom fear to scare people into giving them notability, if they are a major source for an article, the notability of the article subject is extremely suspect.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:16, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Notable reporting contains description of terrorist attacks, not coverage of the band itself.--Bettydaisies (talk) 02:39, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - See also the affiliated Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nordic Thunder. The article is dependent on news reports on the various members' criminal activities and books about their general movement. There is no reliable coverage of the band itself, except as a minor background tidbit in coverage of other things. The band does not inherit the notability (infamy) of its members when they did things outside of the band context. WP:EXIST applies as well. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:18, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
