Appears to be non notable, but it is borderline. I would just speedy it, but I think it says that they had a top five hit in Sweden. The text isn't awfully coherent, I presume it was written by someone whose first language is Swedish. J Milburn 17:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC) Withdrawing nomaintion. Notability established.

  • Weak Delete - no evidence of notability at the moment. As to the top 5, I think it may be about the Eurovision Song Contest or something similar, as it talks about going through to the "final round" - but unless this is sourced and verified, it isn't enough proof of notability.

    • Keep - article has been massively improved in the last few hours. Walton monarchist89 20:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep but expand and clean. He recently participated in Melodifestivalen (a qualifier for ESC), but did not win, is what the article says. That may or may not satisfy WP:MUSIC criterion #9. However, he definitely satisfies #5, as he's released several albums distributed by RCA. GassyGuy 17:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
  • I've stricken the weak part of my vote and attempted to clean some new information presented in the article by its creator. It's still a stub but he seems to pass WP:MUSIC, although my ability to sort through sources for this article's expansion is hampered by my lack of knowledge of the Swedish language.

  • Comment: This is looking much better, but could still do with some sources. GassyGuy, there are plenty of sites that will translate other sites for you, which aren't awful, such as this. J Milburn 17:45, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
    I don't have much time at the moment, but this site should at least provide sufficient proof of notability: [1]. If nobody else beats me to it, I will add his singles' and albums' chart positions to his article later. GassyGuy 17:50, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Ok, looks to be notable to me, but I will keep the nomination in until the article backs it up a little more. J Milburn 17:55, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep appears to have had a #4 hit on the Swedish charts in 1992. Ohconfucius 10:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Ok, I'm convinced, keep it is. J Milburn 18:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy close on withdrawl of nomination in absence of opposing comments. Ohconfucius 05:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
