Hans Lindahl

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unsourced WP:BLP from 2007 encountered during CAT:BLP cleanup. The two sources in the article appear to be self-published, and a Google search discovers no reliable sources covering the subject but for a snippet from a journal that confirms his existence. Currently fails WP:BLP, WP:BIO.  Sandstein  21:47, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment Lambiek's Comiclopedia is a valuable resource for comics artists used on all sorts of other articles as they are experts in the field. Also looking at the Norwegian version it appears to suggest he has won a couple of prizes but we'd need someone who actually reads Norwegian to confirm this, but it'd certainly be a useful tick in the notability box.

 * He has won an Adamson Award and the 91:an-stipendiet (no article in the English Wikipedia). However, I'm not sure if that's enough to meet the Notability (people) criteria. This source claims he is "one of the most highly regarded of the Swedish comic artists" to draw The Phantom, and I think that's true. Unfortunately, Sweden is a small country and artists like Lindahl don't receive coverage in newspapers or books (etc).  The left orium  11:42, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep following Theleftorium's comments. The International Journal of Comic Art is a good source and the Awards are also a tick in the box for notability. That combined with the fact it is no longer unsourced. It still needs work (from someone who reads Norwegian) but it is enough for a keep. (Emperor (talk) 02:13, 22 March 2010 (UTC))
