Notability[edit]

I don't know why the notability template is put on this article, it's clear that it needs references and other things to expand it, but The Dø is clearly not a "not notable" band, it's a recent band that gets successful at least in its countries and oh, you might just understand what I mean. No way "The Dø" is an article to delete, yes way it's a stub.

The name[edit]

There is no language as Scandinavian, and although "dø" means "die" in both Danish and Norwegian, it is not the case in for example Swedish, Icelandic or Faroese. I have corrected that sentence. Apart from that obvious error, I question what relevance speculations about the origins of the name have. Until we have an example of a band member explaining the name, I think we should leave the speculations out of our encyclopedia. Vigfus (talk) 22:12, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is also a reference to the Japanese Zen word Do, which in turn is a translation of the Chinese 'Tao'. The band even mention this very briefly in a television interview. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.67.7 (talk) 17:29, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can we talk about how [dø] is the IPA for the French word "deux", and how this band is a French-Finnish duo? It seems obvious. Edwin Okli (talk) 17:38, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Broken link[edit]

I do not know how to use this talk page or correctly edit anything on Wikipedia, but I would just like to point at the broken external link on the page, "The Dø 'On My Shoulders' Single Review" which leads to some porn page. All the best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.198.8.211 (talk) 11:16, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
