Only primary sources. Search results only show similar primary or self-published sites or blogs, and mostly so in relation with the Petrus method, which should be described at Speedcubing instead. Article fails WP:ANYBIO, redirecting to the suggested (partial) merge location after the merge might be in order. 1234qwer1234qwer4 20:38, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment. A quick look in a Swedish newspaper archive (Mediearkivet) indicates a fair amount of non-trivial coverage. I'll try to update the article in a few days, when I have time. /Julle (talk) 02:05, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - Seems like it could be viable, but there's no sources at the moment and it's hard to make the case for it without those sources.KatoKungLee (talk) 16:44, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll make an attempt to address this over the weekend. /Julle (talk) 00:19, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Ping KatoKungLee – I've started adding soources now. /Julle (talk) 10:23, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - I added a few more sources. Seems like he was one of the first Rubik's Cube masters and he won an international title. There's likely more info out there, just a lot of his career happened pre-internet.KatoKungLee (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 13:32, 25 March 2023 (UTC) KatoKungLee (talk) 16:50, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've started adding sources. It's complicated because he was mainly active in the 1980s, and the sources are not easily accessible (I'd have to physically get to the one computer at the university in a neighbouring city to properly reawd them), but I could acess some extracts from 1980s newspaper articles. Also added more content from some more recent articles from Aftonbladet and sv:Språktidningen. (In the Expressen reference he is only mentioned in passing.) /Julle (talk) 19:32, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Julle - Yeah, I hear you. Pre-internet people are harder to find info on and pre-internet + foreign people are twice as hard to find info on. I have tried to suggest a rule be made to be a little more relaxed when it comes to those situations. The one thing I can say though is that going forward, it will be less and less of a problem due to social media and technology.KatoKungLee (talk) 13:07, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
