Articles for deletion This article was nominated for deletion on 27 December 2006. The result of the discussion was keep.

I will improve on the article, but will not associate my improvments with my wikipedia account. In other words, I wish to remain anonymous using only my IP address for identification.

Secondly, the reason a google search returns little is because you are not searching correctly. Of course merely searching the word "Saga" in Google will return very little. Try instead, to search "Saga "Symphony of Sorrow"" or "Saga "White Power"" on Google and you will certainly find more. 71.204.122.218 20:33, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Saga Should Stay

According to the criteria listed in Wikipedia:Notability (music), Saga is safe because of two particular clauses.

Criteria for musicians and ensembles

  1. It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.
    • This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, and television documentaries except for the following:
      • Media reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician/ensemble talks about themselves, and advertising for the musician/ensemble.
      • Works comprising merely trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report performance dates or the publications of contact and booking details in directories.

Saga has been the subject of many works independent of her and her publisher, including the Discovery Times interview.

Others

5. Is frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable sub-culture.

Many white nationalist and neo-nazi publications have covered Saga's music. I would consider that a notable sub-culture. -71.204.122.218 01:55, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

If you want to save this article from deletion, I would cite some sources pretty quickly. It is already on the chopping block. --Kevin Murray 06:15, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Resistance Magazine (Issue 13. Fall 2000)

This issue of Resistance Magazine has an interview with Saga. I have been unable to get my hands on a copy of this issue. If anyone can find any information on the article, message me on wikipedia. Your help is greatly appreciated. --Wikischmedia 17:10, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uh, oh

The user removed the Discovery video of Saga.

[edit] Nazis maybe wrong, but

This article is written far too much in an anti-Saga tone. I believe a more neutral position should be taken. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Groar! (talk • contribs) 01:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC).

I don't see the POV issue. Clearly she is pro-white and proud of it; this seems to be pretty clearly racist and controversial. If there were some more pro Saga references that could be cited, we could probably present a more pro Saga article. --Kevin Murray 01:19, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Saga Album Cover.jpg

Image:Saga Album Cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
