Search results turn up no significant coverage, thus failing it for WP:GNG. Giants27 ( c  |  s ) 23:15, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Blogs are not good sources. Google search reveals this term is applied indiscriminately to a lot of people in Minnesota, including other Vikings teammates. Dmz5 *Edits**Talk* 00:04, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - Random nicknames from fans are not worthy of their own wiki articles.► Chris Nelson Holla! 02:38, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete The cites are to some fan blogs? Good night.  No citations to the media in Minnesota, let alone the national media.  Just because some bloggers thought that "Four Norsemen of the Apocalypse" would be a cool name for the Vikings' front four, there's no sign that anyone else thinks that they compare to the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, the Bible, or the Purple People Eaters for that matter.  Not a terribly original thought on the part of the blogger anyway, but that's the type of honorific that goes to a dynasty type team. Mandsford (talk) 12:33, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - plenty of sources exist - see these news sources. Bearian (talk) 18:52, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Please note that the results that came up do not support the claims made in the article. As I noted above, all these results do is demonstrate that this phrase exists and is applied to all kinds of people.Dmz5 *Edits**Talk* 19:14, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In fact, the results confirm what we suspected-- that this term has not been used in the media to describe the current Minnesota Vikings front line. In fact, the last use-- in 2001-- was even before Kevin Williams made the Vikings, and the other three came later.  Mandsford (talk) 00:28, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete without prejudice to a future article that uses WP:Reliable sources that directly discuss the use of the term. It does seem to be used indiscriminately to a lot of people in Minnesota. Double Blue  (talk) 04:08, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
