 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Sweden.  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 14:40, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per nom, nothing to really write home about. Even a Google search didn't produce anything meaningful apart from some YouTube videos and few stuffs  Comr Melody Idoghor  (talk)  14:51, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * There are some sources available in the Swedish article, but there's virtually nothing in English, so it's hard to confirm notability. Delete Neutral after discussion of Swedish sources below. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:43, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * There's no requirement for sources to be in English. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:47, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That's fair. My Swedish is based entirely around Ikea packaging, so it's hard to gauge for myself if those sources are good enough to work with. Happy to shift to neutral however, based on the analysis below. Tony Fox (arf!) 00:21, 17 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep. Fläskkvartetten – en kärlekshistoria is a one-hour documentary about the band from Sveriges Radio P2, probably the best source that exists for music in Sweden. They got the "Album of the Year" award at the most important annual award for Swedish music in 1993. The Swedish article sources that are mentioned above are pretty good, the Dagens Nyheter article "Fläskkvartetten som sprängdes", is good, useful and definitely the kind of source we use and see as counting towards notability. The Symfoni article, though partly interview content, is interesting. Some others are listings, and  but a search in the Swedish media archive points towards a wealth of articles, not least around when the band split, went to court around the rights to the name "Fläskkvartetten", and then continued playing. In short, they live up to WP:GNG, several of the criteria in Notability (music) for musicians and ensembles (1, 5, 8 (where the Grammis is specifically mentioned), 10 and 12). We explicitly don't demand sources in English (we only say that they are, all other things equal, preferable to sources in other languages). //Julle (talk) 19:38, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I've expanded the article a little bit, adding a few sources so that at least a few of them should be present in the article as well, and not just mentioned here.
 * Also, they got the music award given out by Expressen (one of the biggest newspapers in Sweden) in 2002, so all the music journalists at the newspaper wrote about the band, for a total of 1750 words, so that could be used, too. (Not easily available online, but can be read by anyone who can access Mediearkivet.) //Julle (talk) 19:56, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * They are also included in the major Swedish non-Wikipedia general encyclopedia, Nationalencyclopedin. //Julle (talk) 20:18, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   06:42, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep mainly per Julle. I contested the nominator's prod on this: "has a national award, 2/3 blue-linked former members and assoc. incidental music for well-known television series" (ie Wallander, which has got to be one of the best known bits of Swedish television outside Sweden). Espresso Addict (talk) 23:44, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per Julle and the editors improvements since nom. Fläskkvartetten is known in Sweden. Sources are ok. Definitely within WP:GNG. Article needs further improvements but AfD is not the venue for that.BabbaQ (talk) 22:58, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep - shows and albums regularly reviewed in major swedish newspapers, but more importantly the band occasionally gets coverage even when there is no show or major release. Satisfies SIGCOV. I echo the above claims of notability. Dr Bowser (talk) 17:41, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep agree to keep with the new sources. Oaktree b (talk) 18:34, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep It looks better now.-- Comr Melody Idoghor  (talk)
