They stole their name from a boston metal band from the 80s. Even their logo for a minute. Any quick google search will show you the real WARGASM 2601:192:8880:50A0:ECEE:9045:453:A013 ( talk) 23:53, 25 October 2022 (UTC) reply

WARGASM was a 3-piece Metal band, active from 1985 - 1995. The band released several demos, three albums, one E.P., one concert DVD, and toured Europe several times.

Wargasm are considered a Thrash Metal band, and their debut album 'Why Play Around?' is widely viewed by as a classic of the genre.

Wargasm are in the process of re-issuing their catalog for digital download and on CD & LP.

Two bands coming up with the same name is no proof of theft. This is just an empty accusation and so why should it be made part of the article? Nikolai508 ( talk) 21:10, 23 November 2023 (UTC) reply

The earliest uses of the word in print I can find are referencing a practice by the Weather Underground organization in 1969. The word is not unique, and bands from different countries have the same name all the time.

The only thing I could think would be relevant to this is that US releases of this Wargasm's work use the name Wargasm (UK). Might be worth a mention if someone has a good source to reference it. Radioswede ( talk) 18:35, 20 March 2024 (UTC) reply

They're clearly a digital hardcore band, but this section just waffles on about all the genre's they don't quite fit. 82.15.221.92 ( talk) 18:36, 1 September 2023 (UTC) reply

I agree they play digital hardcore but on Wikipedia we need WP:RELIABLESOURCES to backup the info. I've yet to find one which calls them it, and I've searched extensively. Issan Sumisu ( talk) 19:45, 1 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Hey @ Launchballer, got this page here which could do with some updating / improving, you could definitely end up being eligible for nominating it for GA if you take the majority edit! George ( talk) 15:32, 16 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I wouldn't have thought this be that far off, it just needs finetuning, which I can do. According to WP:GAN/I, nominators must have contributed significantly to the article, and according to the link on that page, this seems to have been primarily written by yourself and @ Issan Sumisu: - I'd check with them first.-- Laun chba ller 16:05, 16 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I'm admittedly not knowledgeable on GA submissions, what's the question for me? Issan Sumisu ( talk) 17:36, 17 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Per that page's Step 1, "If you are not a significant contributor to the article, secure the consent of the significant contributors before nominating." In other words, do you object to George nominating this?-- Laun chba ller 17:40, 17 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I don't object, go ahead. Issan Sumisu ( talk) 19:55, 17 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Man, this one took ages. There was an awful lot of content that didn't quite check out and a significant amount of WP:PROSELINE, hopefully what I've done has taken some of the edge off. Thanks for picking up on my errors as I went. Incidentally, Dead!, Way and Matlock almost certainly deserve their own articles - the first two per WP:GNG, Matlock per WP:MUSICBIO#C6 - and I plan on rolling out Dead! and Matlock in the week immediately following this passing its GA (so I can roll it out as a DYK triple-hook). At some point, I'll also see if there are 5x expansions in Lapdance (song) and Smack a Bitch, though I won't do either immediately.-- Laun chba ller 11:11, 28 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Wow, the article looks incredible! Yeah, I had thought about them being able to have their own articles too, (DYK triple hook could be proper sick). Hopefully we can get this article passed and will obviously help you (along with every other article we've nominated together) with suggested improvements once it finally gets round to being reviewed! Teamwork really does make the dream work! George ( talk) 18:57, 28 July 2024 (UTC) reply
