Threats to Kill Varg

Shouldn't that be added?

Yes, with references of course. --217/83 15:08, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning his name

"Särkkä" is indeed a Finnish name, and according to a biography I read once he was born in northern Finland (near the swedish border), whence his family moved to Sweden when he was 5. Unfortunately I cannot cite the source.

Any threats to kill people aren't really in line with Wikipedia, and neither that he was one of the few chosen ones who received parts of Dead's skull collected by Euronymous when he found Dead's body at the rehearsal place. Just trivia.

Says who? --217/83 15:08, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

'Gypsy'

Is he actually one, or does the author of this just take Vikernes's insult as a reference? And if he is, I think most wikipedia articles would require the use of a term like 'romani' or something like that instead...85.157.80.181 (talk) 14:50, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he is, I know some interviews stating that (and also American Indian ancestors). But they don’t say anything about whether he is of Sinti or Roma descent so it would be wrong to add one of those terms. --217/83 15:08, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

JV - I know him personally and he's a good long-time friend. He is half Native American (father), one quarter Romani Gypsy and one quarter Finnish (mother). He is a Swedish citizen. There were no threats to kill his family, that's a rumour. He's releasing a new album soon which is in the works. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.143.154.100 (talk) 09:15, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Tony Särkkä was born on Dec 15th, 1972 and was thus 44 years old at the time of his departure, which was NOT on Feb 14th. This was only the date of announcement.

He was NOT a gypsy, but Finnish/native American.

He started The True Satanist Horde in Sweden, not a Swedish version of the Black Circle.

Best regards from his sister, quoted in this article. 83.250.218.161 (talk) 00:15, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
