Cant find any hits via google Cannot establish notability and all the sources are in swedish  §hawn poo   22:38, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, why don't you go translate them then? Non-English references is not a reason for deletion per WP:NONENG.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 23:39, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I tried but they translate into things with no sentence structure and dont make sense  §hawn poo   23:50, 7 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep, start with fixing the ref tags. -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  23:42, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - I agree with the editors above, you should translate the sources first,so we can see how reliable these sources are and what they consist of. However, I'm not sure how notable a gang with only 40 or so members could be. FingersOn  Roids  23:51, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Gangs get their notability from their actions rather than their size. Even a small amount of people, or even a single individual, can leave a notable mark on the world. - Mgm|(talk) 01:27, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Actually, one could contact WP Sweden to check the article before nominating it. It is not yet tagged for that WP. They might not be aware of it. I'll do that now. -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  01:33, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Good idea HexaChord, I didn't even think of that. I checked and found it at here.  §hawn poo   01:51, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I meant WikiProject Sweden, but the Swedish Wikipedia is of course another good look. -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  02:01, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment found refs to its existence here but you have to search the article for Fucked For Life. Still does not validate its notability though.  §hawn poo   02:55, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment There's a bit of WP:N/CA here. The google translations from swedish to english are easy to understand. There are also english language swedish news sites--have you noticed if they mention the article topic? Shadowjams (talk) 07:02, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Significant news coverage. And not just tabloids; one of the sources is the magazine of the governmental agency Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brottsförebyggande rådet). Tomas e (talk) 12:01, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. This is one of the most well-known criminal gangs in Sweden in recent years. They have been the subject of possibly hundreds of media items over a period of many years. They are discussed by the Swedish Council for Crime Prevention . They are the subject of at least one masters-thesis in sociology . They are compared to the most violent and well-known criminal gangs by the Swedish Police . They are mentioned in two different SOUs and . Koyos (talk) 12:02, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks Tomas e and Koyos for the clarification on this.  §hawn poo   16:34, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
