Pekka Heino (television presenter)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article was deprodded without addressing the underlying concern of lack of reliable sources to establish notability. It appears the primary claim of notability is being a commentator on the Eurovision Song Contest. I haven't been able to locate any sources that describe his role in the contest in a substantial way to suggest notability. Currently the only source on the article is a biography from his employer. I recognize that there may be materials in Swedish to establish notability, but since I do not speak Swedish I must rely on others to provide such sources. If those are discovered I will gladly withdraw the nomination. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 00:36, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep - This nomination cant be serious. Pekka Heino is one of swedens most famous television presenters. This article might need references...but not deletion.--BabbaQ (talk) 12:52, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment It would be helpful if you could provide such references (particularly if you can find them in Swedish), since I have been unable to turn them up to establish notability by Wikipedia standards of reliable sourcing. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:15, 3 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment Pekka Heino is known for far more things than being a commentator on the Eurovision Song Contest, and I would disagree with the English article about that being his main claim of notability. His likewise unsourced article on Swedish Wikipedia lists more. When YLE says lists what he's done, ESC is only the fourth thing they mention, and definitely not what they see as the most important. His more recent work with Godkväll would probably be more important as well, and sv:Vi i femman and sv:Röda tråden. As the article name suggests, he's well known as a television presenter (programpresentatör). /Julle (talk) 04:26, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment So it sounds like it would be helpful if there could be some reliable sources turned up to help keep this article, as well as to properly source the Swedish article, which sounds like it suffers from the same problem, eh? I wonder why there are no reliable sources considering all the notability claims?  ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 13:45, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Indeed. I get 1496 hits when I search for "Pekka Heino" in Swedish (and Norwegian) newspaper articles (through Mediearkivet, "The Media Archive"), so notability should be easy enough to establish. I, however, know next to nothing about television, and suggest someone who has a clue about the subject decides what is relevant to include and what is not. /Julle (talk) 13:53, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Strong keep My improvements to the article should show his notability. Theleftorium (talk) 20:40, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn - Thank you for the Swedish sourcing, Theleftorium. With the sources now on the article I would like to withdraw the nomination. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 21:31, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
