Talk:Thomas Karlsson

When were his books published?
Why are there no dates except for his dissertation and the English translation of Adulrunan och den Götiska Kabbalan? --2003:F5:FF2A:3400:E912:D08A:4113:708D (talk) 17:17, 24 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Good question. Better question, is this guy even notable. All the sources are from his order's site or his band's site, or his cofounder's band's site. or his doctoral thesis. It would seem a deletion nomination is in order. Skyerise (talk) 02:04, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * As a founder of Ordo Draconis et Atri Adamantis (Dragon Rouge) and lyricist of Therion, yes, he is notable WW.

 * Therion (band) is not Thomas Karlsson's bands. Therion hires Karlsson as lyricist.

 * The swedish sources may be more complete.

Split proposal
My concern is the cross-promotional nature of this article. Karlsson seems to be notable for his musical career, at least that what was said in the last deletion discussion. At the time the article on his organization was merged (I assume that's what happened here), there were probably few sources to support such an article. But it looks like it has now been covered in at least several book sources and I haven't checked academic esotericism journals yet but if its in a few books it's probably also in a few journal articles. At least that's what I'm thinking now. I may change my mind as I look into it. If anyone here knows of such sources, be sure to speak up. As for the music, well, that's going to have to be flushed out and sourced by someone else - not a genre I'm interested in... Skyerise (talk) 03:25, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think a split would be fruitful. The sources about the organization are just as much about Karlsson himself and the activities and interests of the two are so closely linked that the articles would contain the exact same info, including the music career.

 * I agree, but the article may need some expansion and can be reorganized with a big section called Dragon Rouge.
