The subject appears to be notable only for founding an obscure organisation (NSHSS); a mystery, because the article is labelled as "Sweden-related", this is a "national" organisation that seems to be untied to any clear nation, except perhaps the USA. The organisation's website protests (I think too much) that it is "not a scam", but see sample complaint: https://www.bbb.org/us/ga/brookhaven/profile/educational-consultant/the-national-society-of-high-school-scholars-0443-12000946/complaints

Also very strange to show a photo with Kento Masuda, an obscure musician, added by an editor with a (deliberately?) difficult name in Georgian script, who has been blocked for paid-for editing. Imaginatorium (talk) 16:32, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. The main source for the article is a paid family obituary whose verifiability is somewhat tarnished by claims like "Claes, a native of Sweden, was born in Copenhagen". In any case it is not independent. Neither is the "World Peace One" page. I suspect the WKI page is not, either, but it's hard to tell because I see no mention of him on it. The NYT article namechecks him but has no depth of coverage. That leaves only family connections and a press release about an apparently non-notable award. None of these convey any WP:NBIO notability. I found this through the academic deletion sorting list but founding an organization that claims to be not a scam is not the same thing as being an academic, and there is no hint of a pass of WP:NPROF notability either. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:16, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
