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.

I believe the subject does not meet notability requirements. There is no article on the Swedish-language wikipedia. Of the five references provided, two are NY Arts Magazine which is, from what I can gather (and correct me if I'm wrong), a vanity publisher. SallyRenee (talk) 08:35, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I've been unable to locate any decent Swedish sources in Swedish newspaper archives. It hardly matters if we can't verify the article, but the name is misspelled – it should be Hans André, not Hans Andre. /Julle (talk) 01:31, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails WP:ARTIST. Also chicken and egg situation: exact text as Concept Art Association. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 16:47, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  WomenArtistUpdates: I took a look at the history and feel fairly confident that Concept Art Association has taken the text from Wikipedia and not the other way around, as the Wikipedia article grew piece by piece in several edits, rather than being inserted all at once (which would have been the case if it had been copied and pasted). /Julle (talk) 21:52, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Julle. Then the Concept Art Association bio cannot be used as source for the article. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 23:32, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Independent Municipal Party of Ljusnarsberg (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Sure, this ultra-local party will have some coverage in its local municipality of 4,407. But it's just no way that it is notable on a larger scale, so fails WP:NOTEVERYTHING. Geschichte (talk) 16:30, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Organizations, Politics, and Sweden. Shellwood (talk) 16:39, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. The nominator seems to be hinting at WP:AUD with the statement about coverage in its local municipality, which specifies that to pass WP:NORG a subject will need coverage beyond a local area. However, the article already has WP:SIGCOV present in its single source thus far in a national Swedish newspaper. The nominator has not described the results of a BEFORE search to indicate whether any other qualifying coverage exists. Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:26, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Nerikes Allehanda is not a national newspaper, it is a regional newspaper for Närke. The piece in question is not mainly about Ljusnarsbergs Obundna Kommunparti either. Geschichte (talk) 22:44, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  The example at WP:AUD is 'the weekly newspaper for a small town', Närke has a population of 223 000 people and Nerikes Allehanda is a daily newspaper with 20 000 paying digital subscribers and a print circulation of 43 000 in 2015. AlexandraAVX (talk) 12:31, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  It also says "At least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary.", covering Närke makes it regional. AlexandraAVX (talk) 12:37, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
