''After seeing the Swedish Wikipedia article, I believe this article is salvageable. I was unaware of this article at the time of my nomination and didn't come across it during the course of my WP:BEFORE investigation. I agree with DGG that it might be a good idea to note articles that have articles on other wikis more clearly on this one. But I hereby withdraw my nomination for this article. Thanks to all who participated in the discussion and especially to DragonflySixtyseven for pointing out that article. Go Phightins! (talk) 01:52, 1 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete The article lists his jobs but does not assert why he is notable. The source is just about his death. Electric Catfish2 21:28, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Swedish Wikipedia + Google Translate => definite notability (award-winning, juror for various other awards, listed as one of the most powerful media people here, one of the most influential media people there, etc etc) ==> definite keep, but article strongly needs to be improved by incorporation of data mentioned in sv.wiki (at the very least).

 * Keep based on native langauge wiki article. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:37, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The sources in the Swedish WP just have to be copied over. Fully enough to meet the GNG. It is a shame that people nominating articles with corresponding articles in other WPs don't first look at those articles & see if at least there are additional sources.

 * Short of googling "Pontus Schultz Swedish Wikipedia", which I just did, I am not sure how one would know of that article. When I came across this article, this revision existed. The only source was about a bike accident that led to his death. There was no indication of notability. My google search of simply his name led to sources related to his death, nothing about his life. Therefore, I thought I carried out the four guidelines as outlined in WP:BEFORE and went ahead to nominate it for AFD. I apologize for not making the connection to search for it under Swedish Wikipedia. Sorry--Go Phightins! (talk) 01:10, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * you could have known about it from the link in the right hand column that reads "Svenska", which would have taken you directly to the Swedish article. It is put there by the code at the bottom of the page  Pontus Schultz . This is how we indicate the presence of an article in another Wikipedia, and it was present at the time.  I guess we need to publicize it more. But the article should also have been marked with the code at the top , which produces a message asking that it be expanded with text and references from the longer article in that encyclopedia. I just added that code, and you will see what it displays. This one at least is hard to miss.  I guess we need to publicize that also.   DGG ( talk ) 01:22, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm looking at the revision when I nominated it. I do not see the Svenska that you're citing here. Now that you added the code at the top, it's hard to miss. Again, I apologize, but I wasn't aware of the article and, to the best of my knowledge, followed WP:BEFORE when I nominated...Go Phightins! (talk) 01:27, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * You may consider withdrawing the AfD by striking through the nomination above and leaving an explaination. Then we're all good for a non-admin closure. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:47, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking about it...I am leaning toward probably doing it. Go Phightins! (talk) 01:48, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
