Peter Hammarstedt

Only sources available are a few quick notes in media coverage of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and episodes of Whale Wars. Unfortunately, there is not enough to create a biography of the subject and notability has not been established. This is exasperated by this BLP having 0 sources.Cptnono (talk) 21:31, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm with you on the notability issue, but isn't the avaliable sources good enough? A whole documentary and heavy media coverage. Pikolas (talk) 22:41, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * There hasn't been heavy media coverage of the subject (Hammarstedt). There has been heavy media coverage on both Sea Shepherd and Whale Wars. He gets mentions but all we have is "he is a Swedish guy who works on the bridge and was promoted". I saw a source that mentioned his name a single time since he was having a hard time with his Visa but that was more about Watson than him. Even if those were given inline citations, notability would still be questionable. Since there are no sources and the sources available don't offer much I see no reason to keep this article. BLP guidelines say to be cautious and allowing such an article with 0 refs is unacceptable.Cptnono (talk) 22:47, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, there's also an interview on Animal Planet's website, but I don't suppose that helps too much either. Pikolas (talk) 23:44, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge/redirect. Has not appeared to achieve notability outside his association with the Sea Shepherds and Whale Wars.  Although this doesn't fall within the exact terms ofWP:BLP1E, I think that guideline's motivating principle is applicable.  There really isn't much information to be had about him right now -- what do we have, two sentences? -- so until such information becomes available there is no need to spin him off.  For those who have seen the documentary My Kid Could Paint That, about a young girl whose abstract paintings sold for thousands, note that we have a separate article for Marla Olmstead, the girl, who was featured endlessly in the New York Times and elsewhere, but not on her father Mark Olmstead, who is not really individually notable but was covered heavily in the documentary.  I put Peter Hammarstedt in the second category for now.  --Glenfarclas (talk) 06:28, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, redirecting seems a good idea to me. Pikolas (talk) 14:40, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
