Written in a pretty promotional fashion. All entries are AllMusic type entries, interviews (which are not valid towards notability, being primary), or short mentions.  Onel 5969  TT me 00:24, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. I could find nothing WP:RS, even using Swedish words like musiker and sverige in the search string. I looked at his official website. I would have expected the Press section to include things we might consider RS. It doesn't: it's all promotional and interviews. Even his (non RS) AllMusic and Discogs entries are extremely sketchy. He isn't mentioned in da:Disco:wax or its Finnish and Polish equivalents, articles about one of his record labels. On some of the songs where he is said to have been the lead artist, he turns out to have been a featured artist. Fails WP:NMUSIC and WP:ANYBIO. Narky Blert (talk) 10:13, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, having previously nominated this for PROD. No indication of meeting GNG, and the initial editor's comments in edit summaries about improving the article seem to attempt to derive inherited notability from the subject's collaboration with more notable acts as a producer or session artist. signed,Rosguill talk 16:32, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Too soon at best. –  Broccoli  &#38; Coffee (Oh hai) 17:56, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment AllMusic staff written bios and reviews are reliable sources as per WikiProject Albums/Sources but in this case it's just a listing which doesn't count at all Atlantic306 (talk) 18:39, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - notablility not established - does not meet WP:MUSICBIO - "Criteria for musicians and ensembles" paticularly excludes interviews - no substantial coverage - the article reads like someone in the wings trying to spin themselves as a major artist through WP:REFBOMBING - therefore, delete - Epinoia (talk) 00:01, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
