Non-notable band. All sources cited in the article are dead links (!?). Google news search returns a handful of results [https://www.google.com/search?biw=1680&bih=954&tbm=nws&q=%22Rammsund%22&oq=%22Rammsund%22], none of which seams to contain WP:significant coverage.

::If they are dead links, go close the Norwegian article too then. I put in new articles, this is a real band. Schwiiz (talk) 23:36, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

They are notable. If you look, Till Lindemann went to go see them. They are a huge hit in Norge, just because you haven't heard of them does not make them not notable. Schwiiz (talk) 00:04, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

:I'm Norwegian, and I've never heard of this band. Sounds like a fun concept, though, a tribute band singing Rammstein songs in Nynorsk Norwegian.

:I note that in 2005, a Norwegian news website quoted the band's promoter as describing the band as [http://www.abcnyheter.no/nyheter/2005/11/15/36185/tung-tysk-hardrock-pa-nynorsk "eit lite, norsk coverband"] ("a small, Norwegian cover band"). Nine years later, in 2014, the Norwegian newspaper Dagsavisen described Rammsund as [http://urn.nb.no/URN:NBN:no-nb_digavis_dagsavisen_null_null_20140415_129_89_1 "Et tributeband med humor og selvironi"] ("A tribute band with humour and self-irony"). I could pretty much only find news notices stating that the band were playing in various locations, and that they promote the use of Nynorsk through their cover/tribute songs.

:A fun concept, but is it notable enough for an article? Manxruler (talk) 23:48, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

::From where in Norway? Not second guessing you, just wondering. Jeg er sveitsisk. I do think they have reached many of the criteria on the musician rule page. Schwiiz (talk) 04:29, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

:::Does it matter? If the band is only known locally, in one region of Norway (or maybe amongst a not very large group of fans internationally?), then that does not support the possible notability of it. My point is, what reliable sources I can find on this band does not appear to me to indicate that the band is notable. Manxruler (talk) 17:10, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

::::The band plays all over Southern Norway, the Inhabitable part. My sources listed on the article show.Schwiiz (talk) 14:19, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

:::::The "Inhabitable part"? Never heard that term used in connection with Norway. Peculiar. Manxruler (talk) 18:50, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

::::::Just refers to how Nord-Norge is sparsely populated and frozen.Schwiiz (talk) 20:33, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

:::Do you have any further, reliable, sources on this band? Something to support the claim that they are "a huge hit" in Norway? Manxruler (talk) 17:12, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

::::http://www.imstudent.no/kultur/musikk/rammstein-pa-nynorsk-rammsund-in-tromso/ | Look them up on Youtube and find some of their concerts. They have alot of articles in Norwegian too,if you search their name and then translate some of the articles, even just with Google Translate.Schwiiz (talk) 14:19, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

:::::Yeah, I've already read that one, a student newspaper article. I have also used every Google search tool (no need for a translate tool, Norwegian is my native tongue), and also made a search of the Norwegian national library. There's nothing substantial to back up the notability of this small, humorous, self-ironic tribute band. I just can't see this band as notable enough for Wikipedia. Coverage in student newspapers, having videos on Youtube and giving concerts isn't enough. Manxruler (talk) 18:39, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

::::::The Norwegian pages should be deleted too if this one is.Schwiiz (talk) 20:33, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
