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.

You can help maintain the list on this page:

  • To add a new AfD discussion (once it has already been opened on WP:AFD):
  • Edit this page 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. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  • You can also tag the AfD by adding
{{subst:delsort|Sweden}}<small>—~~~~</small>
to it, which will inform users that it has been listed here.
  • Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
  • You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Sweden.

Please note that adding an AfD to, or removing it from, this page does not add it to, or 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.

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

[edit] Sweden

[edit] Proposed deletions (WP:PROD)

  • 22 September 2007 - expires 27 September
    • Heirs of Sverker dynasty (PROD by User:Olaus; PROD nominator states: "This page asserts the existence of a dynastic claim with continuity from the Swedish 12th century Sverkerian dynasty all the way to somebody born in 1985. This goes unmentioned in standard textbooks on Swedish history, and considering that Sweden was an elective monarchy throughout the Middle Ages, there is no reason to believe in such a claim without very good sources. The boxes asking for (additional) referencing have been on this page since March. This page vaguely hints at the existence of sources at the bottom under the heading "Material", but the author mentioned there is a highly productive Swedish historian specialized in mediaeval biography and genealogy who has published several books and hundreds of articles. Without specification such a vague reference is useless. My guess is that whatever sources somebody may come up with are quite likely to support the genealogy, but the basis for the existence of a page such as this is the assertion of a dynastic claim and continuity. There are probably hundreds of thousands of descendants of the Sverkerian dynasty. Unless somebody can show evidence that this particular line has, or claims to have, some particular right to the throne based on this descent, it can not form the basis for an article.")
