replies: text: I merely assumed that because I could buy their albums off Amazon and the website of one of the biggest supermarkets in the UK (Tesco) they would be important enough to be featured in this wiki. --Midness 21:31, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I've changed the language to reflect on what has happened. Some parts read "In 2008, Sabaton will release" or "Sabaton will be performing at (..) in 2009". It's all fixed. In addition, I've sorted the biography after the respective albums. --79.136.5.149 (talk) 11:33, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Power metal doesn't make chart positions or sales records anymore. Those figures are a bad measure of importance. The power metal scene is alive and well. Sabaton are a well known band and their work has been reviewed many times in various Metal periodicals. These guys do this for a living and aren't some weekend project garage band.
:Indeed, they played support for Dragonforce, 'nuff said. Robrecht 15:28, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They actually played a headliner tour through North-West Europe also in August, which was then lengthened with a few extra concerts in September because of the huge success. IN A SINGLE MONTH they nearly (there was maybe a dozen tickets left) sold out the same venue (Biebob) in Belgium out twice. While Biebob isn't huge, not many bands have had more than one full hall there on such a short timeframe. -- 80.201.180.229 23:13, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The heading describing the order their CDs were released are wrong...Metalizer was not their debut album. Someone should edit this, I'm afraid to in case it's wrong too ¬_¬  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.68.148.222 (talk) 13:37, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

message: The individual pages for "Fist for Fight", "Primo Victoria", and "Attero Dominatus" need to have their individual pages restored since they are "independently notable". The majority of the other music artists on wikipedia have seperate articles for all of their albums. How are "Fist for Fight", "Primo Victoria", and "Attero Dominatus" exceptions? 2600:6C55:700A:300:3003:D983:25F2:87C1 (talk) 09:27, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree that all of Sabaton's studio albums are notable, but what's required for the independent pages to exist is to establish that notability. I was able to do that with Primo Victoria, Attero Dominatus and Metalizer solely based on Swedish chart placements, so those pages are now restored. The case of Fist for Fight is trickier since it does not appear to have made it onto any national chart, but there are other criteria as seen in WP:NALBUM. If anyone can produce a case for notability, by all means go ahead and restore the page. The old content is all still there in the history of the currently redirecting page.

message: Metal Machine redirects here for some reason, but there's a band called Metal Machine, which doesn't have a page here. What would be the best way to deal with this confusion?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.7.132.113 (talk) 14:12, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Metal Machine 

message: The genre information should be changed to "heavy metal", because:
1. The band does not play power metal. This genre is defined by the use of a high vocals and Joakim Brodén is definitely a bariton or a bass.
2. The band does not identify itself as a power metal band.https://www.sabaton.net/band/https://loudwire.com/sabaton-par-sundstrom-history-passion-metal-first-exclusive-interview/https://thepartae.com/sabaton/
3. Metal magazines classify the band as a heavy metal band.https://www.metalblast.net/interviews/learning-about-war-an-interview-with-par-sundstrom-of-sabaton/https://www.metal-hammer.de/sabaton-faszination-weltkrieg-1273309/https://metalnation.com/par-sundstrom-reveals-5-little-known-facts-about-sabaton/https://powermetal.de/review/review-Sabaton/Primo_Victoria,5220.html

replies: text: "Power metal" does not fit the band, because Joakim Brodén is not a tenor. This should already be enough. --Merkið (talk) 12:06, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
