Af Petersens

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article does not meet GNG. The article is about a noble Swedish family, There might be notable individuals from the family, but the family name does not need a stand alone article. Cooresponding article on Swedish Wikipedia does not establish notability and is sourced to a database site and a genealogy site.  // Timothy ::  talk  19:55, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment: This is a well-known family (and, as all families in the Swedish nobility, it used to send a representative to the Swedish parliament, which arguably would fulfill WP:POLITICIAN). Besides the treatment in Elgenstierna's Den introducerade svenska adelns ättartavlor (vol. 7), the family and its entailed estate Erstavik are discussed by Björn af Kleen in his Jorden de ärvde (2009). Somebody who did a bit of research could probably write a better article from scratch, so it matters little if this one gets deleted. --Hegvald (talk) 08:22, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete those who served in the national parliament are notable, that does not make the family itself notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:10, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete There are notable families who have acheived things in history, but there's nothing here to indicate this is one. Deathlibrarian (talk) 05:37, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
