 * Keep - is this nomination really serious?. Its one of swedens most known criminal/murder cases. This should not be delete on some vague reasoning by a single user.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:31, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Also 1996 Hron was posthumously awarded the Stig Dagerman award for free speech an award winner, makes it notable beyond the murder itself too.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:37, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The Murder of John Hron may be a notable topic, but he isn't unless there are sources concerning him independent of the murder. --Anthem 07:02, 13 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep I want the article to be expanded before voting a Strong Keep. Jivesh    &bull;  Talk2Me  14:13, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * May I ask what your justification for keeping the article is ? --Anthem 16:49, 13 June 2011 (UTC)


 * May I just mention that the AFD user here Anthem has been blocked indefinite for sockpuppeting.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:35, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Note Anthem of joy has been indef blocked as a sockpuppet of Claritas . --Tothwolf (talk) 02:32, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I stumbled across this article after reading the article [Murder of James Bulger]. I think it is very useful for anyone researching child murders/murderers. Given that the user who suggested it for deletion is blocked, can we close the discussion and remove the AfD notice? Also, I was actually looking for a Swedish (maybe, could be Norway) case of a child who killed another child around the time of the Bulger case in Britian. I couldn't find the case, anyone who remembers could put a link in a 'See Also' section in the article. Bendav (talk) 14:31, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
