Contested deletion

[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (your reason here)

  • The article (to which I have not contributed) appears well written and properly sourced. The question of whether a particular band is of sufficient importance to justify its own article is largely a subjective one - there are many similar Wiki-articles relating to school or community based institutions which remain unchallenged because they are of at least local interest. In this case the material presented provides an interesting adjunct to a subject (the modern Swedish Home Guard) which is of some significance. Buistr (talk) 01:17, 27 January 2015 (UTC))[reply]
The band is nowadays playing more and more internationally and should have a English page for the people who does not understand Swedish to find facts about the band, the history and previous performances. I'm not a band member myself, but do know people who are in it. The Swedish military music is threatened and it is of biggest importance that both Swedish and abroad listeners can find information of the band and Swedish military music.Undanurvägen (talk) 09:09, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

At the absolute worst case, I think the article would be redirected to Home Guard (Sweden), but with a claimed 40 year history, I think it definitely has a claim to importance, and I would improve it if I could understand enough Swedish to read sources!
