The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep (WP:SNOW). The article has been heavily edited since the time of the nomination for deletion, BLP1E concerns have been countered in the discussion, there are no delete !votes, and it appears that the nominator is satisfied with the editing that occurred to address potential BLP violations that may have previously existed in the article, per their comment in the discussion.

Admittedly, the sources are in Swedish, which I don't understand. However, this is an entirely negative article of a BLP and I suspect he is at most a WP:BLP1E. Due to the nature of the subject, I am requesting the input of other editors. PinkBull 20:24, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - as article creator. And there is other information concerning the King of Sweden and Markovic and a book that was released in 2010 that hasnt been mentioned yet as well. This person is well within WP:GNG.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:29, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And as you admit yourself you are not a Swede and do not understand the Swedish sources so are you really the one who should have put this article up for deletion?. Just asking.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:31, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have added information about the Markovics and the King of Sweden and the book. --BabbaQ (talk) 20:35, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. AfD is not cleanup. You have some absolute cheek in trying to delete an article where you have no understanding of the sources and quite frankly had you bothered to do a Google Books search you would have known that it appeared in the book.--Launchballer 21:00, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; Specially with additional sources provided by creator of the article. I do understand the concerns of the colleague who asked for deletion. If this is a notable person, which for sure he is, surely there must be non-Swedish media sources as well, including some in English. These English language sources must be added as well to make it more accessible to the English language reader. Circumstances of his death should be added. Author of the book is important and needs to be added as well. werldwayd (talk) 21:21, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Thank you Lihaas for your improvements to the article. Apologies to the creator or anyone else offended by this nomination. My goals were entirely altruistic, as the article at the time of the nomination appeared to be at great risk of breaching our serious WP:BLP policies. --PinkBull 00:11, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep "I don't speak Swedish" isn't really a relevant excuse for a nomination. Use Google Translate next time. Peter Isotalo 11:35, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:GNG. Persona was subject of a 2012 biography Mille Markovic: Biografin, which highly indicates notability. Since all votes so far are keep and even nominator seems persuaded after article was improved, an administrator might consider a snowball close here.
