Flying Norwegians
[edit]... that to keep their studio and support careers separate, the Flying Norwegians used their English name for their own studio albums, and the Norwegian translation Flyvende Nordmenn when supporting other artists?
- ALT1:... that the Flying Norwegians was formed by two members of the legendary Norwegian rock group Saft?
Created by Lilduff90 (talk). Self nominated at 18:18, 12 March 2014 (UTC).
Article is new enough and long enough. Unable to check for close paraphrasing in foreign-language refs, so sources accepted AGF. The main issue with the article is lack of citations. Per Rule D2, there must be at least one cite per paragraph.- The first hook is over 208 characters; the second hook is fine (I tweaked it slightly). It appears this is the nominator's first DYK nomination, so no QPQ needed. Yoninah (talk) 20:17, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
I've just pinged Lilduff90's talk page again; it's been over two weeks without a response, and he has edited in the interim. I'm also suggesting an ALT2 variant of the original hook, which is too long for DYK and has been struck. (This new version is 185 characters.)
