Writer who does not appear to be notable per our guidelines, WP:BIO. The awards mentioned in the article do not seem to be notable themselves. Only source cited is subject's own website. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:18, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Equivalent articles on the Swedish Wikipedia have been deleted multiple times, variously on grounds of non-notability and advertising. AllyD (talk) 19:24, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete The Gourmand World Cookbook Awards nomination in 2013 can be verified on their website. As to whether that nomination (and silver award) is sufficient to confer biographical notability, I think not. AllyD (talk) 19:33, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. There should probably be some discussion as to whether any award from Gourmand makes someone notable. No significant coverage of those awards is evident in the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards article. Even if it was a notable contest, a second-place award is likely not a claim to notability. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:25, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Not very notable, his books are in Swedish only, and the books he's written are a part of a series of rather small books on food and drink issues so the number is not quite as impressive as they may seem on a first look. A friend of mine hasa actually written three titles in that series, but I don't plan on adding article about him in English Wikipedia until he starts publishing full-length books in English. (Actually, A.K. has written enough books to be considered notable on svwiki, so the article there must have had other issues than just notability, such as COI or being too promotional.)
