[edit] Axel Holmström

Axel Holmström (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A Swedish anarchist with a page in [Swedish Wikipedia]]. Most notable thing claimed in article is getting arrested for antimilitaristic comments. To be honest tho, we've all been arrested for making similar comments, but we've not got articles Moglex 12:55, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Editor of the main Swedish anarchist paper--a really important one too, published sine 1888. DGG (talk) 00:56, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:19, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, article should be kept, expanded and sourced. Was notable both as a politician (member of the board of the Arbetarkommun of Stockholm) and publisher of literary works. --Soman 11:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete an editor of a notable paper does not necessarily connote notability; most papers have many editors, and no indication that he was the editor in chief or whatever the equivalent would be; also under our article, the Arbetarkommun is a local level political organ, maybe a precinct steward or block captain or such would likely be the modern equivalent.

    • Comment, Stockholm is the capital of Sweden, the whole region (for which the Arbetarkommun leadership covered geographically) had a significant population at the time. The comparison to precinct steward/block captain does not hold. The Arbetarkommun had a leadership function of all labour movement structures at the time, not only parliamentarian branches, and was definately a notable institution. --Soman 22:28, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Soman. Also much of nomination makes no sense - most, let alone all of Wikipedia has not been arrested for antimilitaristic comments. Edward321 18:57, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
