• Delete - WP:TOOSOON - does not meet any of the 6 criteria of WP:COMPOSER - no significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources per WP:GNG - article can be re-created if a career is established - Epinoia (talk) 16:03, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. She may be notable. I don't know Swedish, but she was recently the main subject of this article for the main newspaper in Norrtälje which is behind a pay wall. It appears that she is a jazz singer and not just a composer. I believe a wikipedian who can read Swedish and is familiar with searching for Swedish langauge references is going to be needed in order to find and verify content for the purposes of notability. Anybody know one to ping?4meter4 (talk) 03:00, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. It is true that she is a vocalist as well as a composer. The Swedish jazz journal Orkesterjournalen (OJ) lists several performances with Matsdotter as singer, notably several concerts by Uppland Big Band. She also sings on a CD by Cabazz (a group that includes several prominent Swedish jazz musicians including Morgan Ågren) which is reviewed by OJ here. As a composer she has made a full album of her own, issued by Phono Suecia, a highly established record label for more serious and artistic music, owned by STIM (the Swedish Performing Rights Society). /FredrikT (talk) 08:44, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Per WP:GNG. Established career. The article needs a clean up and improvements. But that is no reason for deletion. BabbaQ (talk) 16:46, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Does not meet WP:GNG. No significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources. There are no interviews with her, no feature articles about her or her band. All media mentions so far mentioned seem rather trivial and non-significant. I found one new article ([1]) which is a blurb about a concert, but not trivial coverage. 110.165.185.203 (talk) 08:21, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, and expand article as well. Davidgoodheart (talk) 20:02, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Expand with what? Have you found any sources? Mccapra (talk) 05:17, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The issue with this isn't the lack of sources in English - even in Swedish I only see blogs, lists, music aggregators etc. online. If there are decent sources in print in Swedish that's great, or if an online search is showing other editors something I'm not seeing, please add them. Otherwise it's still not evident to me that she is notable. Mccapra (talk) 15:38, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete: It is worth noting a brief inconclusive discussion on notability criteria after the equivalent Swedish Wikipedia page was created; [2]. As to the current article, I added a reference to a biography page at an Encyclopaedia of European living women composers, songwriters and creators of music site; as with occasional previous cases where an article subject has a biography on another site (Allmusic, for example, in other cases), I am reluctant about deletion where such biographical coverage exists. However I am not seeing the substantial coverage which would demonstrate WP:MUSICBIO notability. AllyD (talk) 16:29, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
