Inadequate evidence the song is notable per WP:MUSIC. It was sung in a movie, and is listed in a database, and there are some Youtubes. Edison (talk) 03:03, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: No evidence that the song is notable enough for includion in WP. Google search turned up nothing substantial, in English or in Swedish. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 12:11, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - One of swedens most notable songs.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:14, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment That's a doubtful truth to begin with (sure, it's quite well-known, but one of Sweden's most notable songs is a subjective statement) and secondly, that kind of argument isn't particularly constructive - unless there are sources for the statement, it's just an assertion. --bonadea contributions talk 20:49, 30 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - it is considered one of Dahlqvist's best-known and most long-lived songs, and is still a very popular sing-along song in Sweden. I have added sources for this information to the article. Another fact which (to my mind) is relevant is the phrase itself, gå upp och pröva dina vingar, which has become an idiomatic expression in Swedish - it was coined in the song. I'll try to find a better reference for that fact before the end of the AfD. Please also note that searching for "upp och pröva dina vingar" yields more hits, since the initial verb isn't always considered part of the title. --bonadea contributions talk 20:49, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: I see multiple references to the song by searching the searchboxes of Aftonbladet and Expressen two top evening Swedish papers.  These papers typically don't get indexed by Google news.  These articles don't confirm all the history themselves, but you can tell its a popular song in Swedish culture.--Milowent • hasspoken  03:27, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The article has been much improved since taken to AfD. We're not talking about the same article that was nominated for deletion. /Julle (talk) 00:36, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
