This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Sweden. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Sweden|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Sweden. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Europe.

This article was formerly completely unreferenced but I was able to find one ref and add it. However, I think it still does not pass GNG. Aside from the article I found, there does not appear to be any significant coverage of her anywhere. Other news sources are passing mentions in articles about other musicians and the only Google Book results appear to be listings in a directory of musicians.

• Comment, the page just needs referencing. She's very popular and well-known in Scandanavia. Here's the problem, a lot of the usable and good references are not in English. There's a great potential to make a very good page about her. It will take time though. Some Wikipedia folks from Sweden would be a big help. Thanks Karl Twist (talk) 08:00, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, per sources by Karl Twist, there is clearly enough to pass the threshold for notability. --AlexandraAVX (talk) 11:01, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. In addition to what Karl Twist posted above, I find plenty of reviews and articles in a Swedish media archive, a sustained interest over time. I've added a couple of them to the article so far. /Julle (talk) 16:58, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per the multiple reliable sources identified in this discussion and the ones added to the article that together show a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:30, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned article with little amount of sources available regardless of medium to demonstrate enough notability to pass WP:GNG. Was deleted via PROD in the past only to be recreated by a single-purpose account. MimirIsSmart (talk) 12:17, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Called the "father of collective improvisation in the dramatic arts" [1], and described here [2]. Is also indexed in the VIAF as having publications in Sweden I'd imagine there are more in the native language. Oaktree b (talk) 14:18, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: There's a Swedish scholarly source here, as well as the sources found by Oaktree b. With this I think he meets WP:GNG. --AlexandraAVX (talk) 11:08, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, per above. Also, if anyone got access there's an article in Svenska Dagbladet from 10 July 1997 which seems interesting, one in Göteborgs-Posten 5 July 1997 and potentially one in Arbetet (Västsvenska editionen) 7 February 1970, to mention a few, but I can only see some snippets from home. /Julle (talk) 12:26, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep There seem to be better sources in this discussion than there is on the page. Might be a good idea to integrate some of these sources and content onto the page. Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 21:48, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article reads more like a CV than a wikipedia article, and may be autobiographical. The subject does not seem to be notable enough to have an article - there are no sources online that I can find about them other than professional or personal sites like LinkedIn and Instagram. I'm raising this under notability concerns rather than on WP:G11 CSD terms out of an assumption of good faith, but speedy deletion may very well be warranted.

• Leaning delete as the individual seems to fail WP:ARTIST - however, given this is a Swedish designer, I would like to see someone fluent in Swedish take a look into her and make sure we aren't missing some significant Swedish language coverage not available in English. Worth noting that the same user has also created a few other articles on Swedish designers (and one company) with what appear to be similar issues: Nikolaus Frank, Lars Lallerstedt, and Frank Etc.

• Delete - Swedish-speaker here, I can't find any coverage of subject in the Swedish press (I searched using her name, husband's name, design firm name). There is an English interview w/ them here[3], but I don't think we can base a stub off this + not sure about the source reliability wrt notability. Zzz plant (talk) 03:50, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I've likewise tried and failed to find Swedish sources – searching for Cecilia Frank and designer or design yields nothing in the Swedish newspaper archives I've got access to, for example. Would be delighted to change my !vote if someone has more luck than I have. /Julle (talk) 12:32, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
