 * Keep. Probably not very well-known in the English-speaking world, and could be better referenced, but solo career, prizes and so on provides sufficient material for it to stand on its own rather than being merged. Tomas e (talk) 13:32, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Question - I'd like to know more about the "Svenska Vispriset" prize. I can't find any English-language sources for this prize, is it a national competition? This award alone could satisfy requirement 8 in WP:MUSIC. Otherwise I have difficulty seeing how he satisfies Wikipedia's standards, just because of the language barrier. It's clear that he has some coverage but I can't tell the nature of it. --  At am a chat 16:59, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Svenska vispriset is a yearly award of SEK 10,000 (≈USD 1,270 according to a currency calculator) awarded by the Swedish national organisation for the visa (which can be roughly translated as "folk song"), to a person or organisation who/which has done something significant for the art of folk singing. It is a recent prize, having only been awarded twice, but I would argue that it is notable due to a certain amount of press -- though probably only in Swedish. --bonadea contributions talk 10:11, 25 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - Thank you for the information, I would say that the award shows that Johan satisfies WP:MUSIC either for having a major music award, or because that award shows that he is a "prominent representative of a notable style", being folk music in this case. --  At am a chat 17:00, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment If he is notable in Sweden, then he is notable. Setwisohi (talk) 18:19, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Atama's reasoning. (As a comment to the previous !vote, notability doesn't stop at country borders -- either there is notability or there isn't. Notability is not the same as notoriety or fame.) --bonadea contributions talk 20:32, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * DeleteNo notability as fails WP:BIO. I'm not satisfied that the prize involved counts as a major music award. Perhaps in the future he might qualify but not atm.--AssegaiAli (talk) 09:49, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
