Non-notable local politician. The sv.wiki article, though more detailed, includes nothing additional to support notability. Mccapra (talk) 07:58, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - Per WP:GNG. Sources confirms her position within politics. Article needs expansion but that is no reason for deletion. Politicians are in general notable and here is a politician with high positions within both national and local Green party politics.BabbaQ (talk) 08:17, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * None of which states how this subject satisfies the criterion that you are using. What are the provenances and depths of these sources?  If you are going to use that criterion, use it properly.  It isn't about positions in political parties.  It is about provenance and depth of available sources, which you have completely failed to address.  Uncle G (talk) 11:28, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * County-level politicians are not deemed notable just because their existence is technically confirmed by a staff profile and a glancing namecheck of their existence in a newspaper article that isn't about them. Politicians have to serve in the national or state/provincial legislatures to be deemed "automatically" notable; county councillors become notable only if they can show a depth and range and volume of sourcing that marks them out as much more special than most other county councillors.

 * Comment she was elected as a councillor for Skåne. Generally local politicians including mayors are not automatically considered notable. Mccapra (talk) 08:34, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Members of a national Riksdag party are.BabbaQ (talk) 08:46, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Members of the Riksdag are notable. People who are affiliated with national political parties in non-notable capacities are not. Bearcat (talk) 14:06, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment if she was actually elected to the Riksdag herself then she would be notable, but just being a local politician who is a member of a party represented in the Riksdag does not make her so. Mccapra (talk) 08:59, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep well documented politician, Sadads (talk) 11:46, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. County councillors are not automatically notable just because one or two sources can be shown to verify that they exist — for starters, one of the two sources here is her own "staff" profile on the council's own self-published website, not a reliable or notability-supporting source, and while the other one is real media, it mentions her name but is not fundamentally about her (and even if we accepted it anyway, it still takes more than just one media source to get a politician into Wikipedia if their role isn't "inherently" notable.) The corresponding article in Swedish is even worse, being written like a résumé rather than an encyclopedia article and referenced only to the staff profile — literally the only reason I'm not nominating it for deletion is that I can't read or write Swedish in order to navigate their deletion process. And politicians in non-notable roles are also not extended notability just because of what political party they happen to be associated with, either: the notability test is not "members of a national Riksdag party, even if the person is personally just a local councillor in one of the counties", it is "the person is themselves a member of the Riksdag". None of this, either the substance or the sourcing, is enough. Bearcat (talk) 14:06, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Can someone at svwiki have her svwiki article sent for deletion? I don't think it's notable there. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 20:10, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment I'd say that as a full time "regionråd" (county councillor) she passes the demands for notability on swwiki. /FredrikT (talk) 07:17, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - I don't think regionråd pass the WP:NPOL threshold; I can't see how GNG is met. Bearcat's analysis is to the point. --bonadea contributions talk 08:46, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:NPOL and doesn't meet the threshold of significant coverage necessary for a politician to pass WP:GNG. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:27, 8 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Would a article about British politician of the same caliber be delete, never. But hey, throw in some ”no significant coverage random reason.. and it gets fixed. Sources and WP:GNG are for notability of this article subject. BabbaQ (talk) 09:54, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually the articles of British, American, and Canadian politicians of the same level are deleted quite regularly. Best, GPL93 (talk) 11:28, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, yes, an article about a British (or American or Canadian) politician at this level of office would normally be deleted — in fact, such articles very regularly are deleted when they get attempted. There might be occasional exceptions for a county councillor who can be really well-sourced as having much more nationalized notability than the norm, such as being a nationally prominent activist on an important political issue or having already had preexisting notability for other reasons, but just serving on a county council is not an automatic free pass over NPOL in any country on earth. The same rule applies to Britain, Ireland, Canada and the United States, and there most certainly are not different unequal standards being applied just because this one is Swedish instead of anglospheric. Bearcat (talk) 20:19, 10 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. Indeed, local councillors from English-speaking countries are regularly deleted. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:17, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * delete Lacks significant independent coverage and fails the GNG.Sandals1 (talk) 23:30, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
