 * Keep (but lose the picture). The Stora Journalistpriset is a major national journalism prize, although the other prize he has won twice is local. There are several articles solely about him and one or more of his books; I used one to reference the statement about his contributing to the anthology and put others in External links. The list of periodicals where his writing has appeared can be referenced from a combination of these and the publisher's page that was already in the article. It is apparent that he has a big reputation in his field in Sweden, he's been written about quite a bit, and that plus the one prize makes him notable, IMO. (He was also arrested and sentenced to a brief jail term for cocaine use in 2007 but I don't see recent references to that so did not add it to the article.)

 * Keep, I agree with BabbaQ, and I know it because I myself am from Sweden. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.99.38.204 (talk) 08:35, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:IKNOWIT is not a reason for keeping. LibStar (talk) 13:25, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Definitely keep, Stora Journalistpriset is enough for notability. --Petter (talk) 15:59, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Well-known writer. The books Fans and Text were both reviewed in several newspapers and magazines. Strage is often quoted or mentioned in record reviews or other texts on popular music. /NH (talk) 17:49, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
