Could find very little through a Google search; no WP:SIGCOV, only passing mentions. Reference on the article's page is a dead link, and an external link is from a primary source (via Wayback Machine) that doesn't look as though it has been updated since about 2008. Doesn't seem to pass WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG. ExRat (talk) 22:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete – I found this article about Svendsen in Sydsvenskan that discusses his career at length. However, this is the only piece of significant coverage that I could find. If more sources were found of this quality I would support keeping the article, but as it stands there is not enough coverage to meet general notability. Uffda608 (talk) 11:36, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. There's also this somewhat shorter piece from Politiken. Barely passes my interpretation of WP:GNG. /Julle (talk) 21:49, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails WP:ANYBIO, WP:MUSICBIO, and WP:SIGCOV. The Politiken link is not to an article, but is a biographical entry. Depending on its context—does the newspaper host some kind of national musical lexicon?—it might help the subject meet criterion 3 of WP:ANYBIO. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 03:57, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment - The text in Politikken is an article. It was published in connection with Svendsen's 70th birthday; thus the "biographical" style. /FredrikT (talk) 08:20, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for clarifying that. In light of your comment and additional evidence, I'm changing my vote to keep. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 20:10, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Doczilla  Ohhhhhh, no! 23:23, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * weak keep: This from 1979 but Google only gives me a snippet view due to copyright. He taught in Sweden for a while, there is some coverage there,  With those listed above, we have just barely enough. Oaktree b (talk) 00:27, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete subject fails to meet WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG Vorann Gencov (talk) 10:58, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: Clearly non-notable. Only one reference exists, and even then it's a permanent dead link. Haruka  Amaranth  14:30, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * HarukaAmaranth: Did you see the sources mentioned earlier in this discussion? I've now added a couple of them to the article. /Julle (talk) 21:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete as it does not meet WP:GNG. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 14:32, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep in view of the additional reliable sources coverage identified by Julie and others in this discussion that shows a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:31, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep There is also this, this (chamber recording he was in on Schwann Catalog), and this, in addition to the sources listed above by, (and NO!!! It is definitely not a mere biographical entry), and . More than enough to satisfy the wp:gng in my view.

 * Weak keep seems to be just barely over the required source coverage. –  Aza24  (talk)   19:30, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
