Non-notable musician. Simply competing in Melodifestivalen does not make one notable (they must perform well). No charting singles. Fails WP:MUSIC. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 19:19, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Is a notable musician. Has worked as a noted songwriter for years for soundtracks for films and TV (Små citroner gula, Gåsmamman), touring with other singers. Has had a leading role as an actress in TV series on Sveriges Television. Participaties in Melodifestivalen which is notable and will lead to charting of her latest song. Has been the writer and producer of several commercials for noted brands. Fully referenced. Per WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 20:46, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - Agree with what's mentioned above. J 1982 (talk) 22:01, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - Very notable and I totally agree with anyone who feels the same, too much deletion for no good reason is in no ones best interest. Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:13, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The nominator has been a bit trigger happy on the twinkle button. If your not a charting artist, then you need to have achieved attention for your work elsewhere, which seems to be the case here. Also short bio. on Allmusic. Mattg82 (talk) 23:06, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
When I made this nomination there was nothing in the article except for a line stating she's in Melodifestivalen 2018 and a discography section with one single that has not charted anywhere. It is not my fault for nominating if there is nothing in the article that shows why they'd be notable. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 23:09, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's not true. According to WP:NEXIST "The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Thus, before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search."

Sorry to pile it on, I'm sure you nominated in good faith. The article was created by an established editor, so giving the editor a friendly nudge on their talk page to give them chance to improve it is probably what should have happened here, along with WP:BEFORE.

I also think that the nom was made in good faith. But adding this article to AfD just a minute before also adding Stiko Per Larsson for AfD seems a bit trigger happy. Anyway the articles are further improved now. BabbaQ (talk) 23:48, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - non-notable, no charting singles, too soon. ×º°”˜`”°º×ηυηzια×º°”˜`”°º× 10:31, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You can not claim non notable when she has done notable acting work, soundtracks for Movies. etc. Drive-by !vote just like at Stiko Per Larsson.BabbaQ (talk) 12:04, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep, and I hope BabbaQ will proceed with article creation for the other participants too. Adville (talk) 22:10, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
