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:
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. 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.
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.
Note that 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 links to other discussions (
prod,
CfD,
TfD etc.) related to Sweden.

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me.

Delete – Any coverage I find looking in the
local paper is just match reports or very short statements on her injuries. Fails
WP:NBIO and
WP:SPORTCRIT.

WP:BLP of a writer, not
properly sourced as passing
WP:AUTHOR. The main notability claim on offer here is that her work exists, which isn't automatically enough in the absence of sufficient coverage and analysis about her work to get her over
WP:GNG -- but the only reference cited here is a
primary source that isn't support for notability at all. As I don't read Swedish, I'm perfectly willing to withdraw this if somebody with better access to archived Swedish media coverage than I've got can find enough to salvage it -- but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have better referencing than this.

I think that ISBN to my books can meet the case, but pl let me know if you need additional information:
1 Seven Russian poets in Stockholm: ISBN 91-7906-004-8
2 Collection of poems "Summer time and Winter Clocks": ISBN 9189424069 (1999), ISBN 91-89424360 (2000)
3 Novel "Always returning to you", ISBN 978-91-7327-089-2
My translations of Swedish poets are published in four literary magazines. Shall I provide publication years/numbers?
My membership in Swedish Writers' Union can be confirmed by the Union. My Ph D about Boris Pasternak is from 1978, it can be confirmed by Göteborg University, the only number I can find is 9 9901417317. If you search my name (Dahl, Elena) in Libris, the database of all books in Swedish libraries, you will find a complete list of my published work.
A writer's notability is not established by citing the article to the publication details of her own work as proof that it exists — a writer's notability is established by third party coverage about her and her books in media, as proof that they've been externally validated as culturally significant by somebody other than the writer's own employers.

Delete I searched in 2 major Swedish newspapers (Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter) for her name and got nothing. I don't speak Swedish so I can't go further than that, but we would need 3rd party sources to keep this. (I think WP is being confused with LinkedIn, which is designed for self-promotion.)

Article has absolutely no references to support it, has been tagged for many years to that effect, has not had anything substantial added to it for several years, and is not particularly informative.
