SR Sverige

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Digital-only radio channel (according to the article it does not call itself a radio station, through that could be just a language issue? on the other hand it might be just a podcast too, this stub is unclear anyway) that existed for presumably few years, maybe 10+? Fails WP:NCOMPANY/GNG. BEFORE does not show anything else, through there could be sources in Swedish I couldn't find. Sv wiki article is even less complete than this, so no help there. Unreferenced, both of them. Declined PROD so here we go. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:56, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment: I'm not into Swedish language, but I found a few sources that may help the article:, , and .  ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 12:09, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Let's see. 1st is paywalled, might be good or not, I am afraid I can't access it to comment. 2nd. It clearly states "pressreleases" in the link so... probably a press release :P 3rd. Doesn't load for me, displays some weird error message in Swedish. 4th: seems like in passing mention, through I can't google translate a google book page, so... Anyway, thanks for looking. But I think we really need a Swedish speaker if we are to have any chance of finding anything good. And please remember, WP:GOOGLEHITS are not enough, any list of sources should be accompanied by an explanation why they are reliable, independent and in-depth. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:53, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep That passing mention that Piotrus sees in source 4 is in fact a complete section: 3.71 Sveriges Radio. Page 157 - 160. The Banner  talk 21:16, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Source 2 gives, after searching this: https://www.svd.se/sok?q=SR%20Radio. Google Translate is your friend. The Banner  talk
 * Google Books informs me clearly that the term SR Sverige is mentioned only on one page of source 4, namely 159. I don't see the topic mentioned on the other pages you list. As for source 2, as I said, I cannot access it: "Tyvärr har ett fel inträffat. Välkommen till Svenska Dagbladet. Tyvärr har något hänt som gör att sidan inte kan visas. Klicka här för att försöka ladda SvD på nytt. Aktuell driftinformation. Vill du skicka ett mejl till SvD:s webbredaktion, klicka här." Perhaps it doesn't like connections from outside EU, I've seen this happen on occasion due to extreme interpretation of EU privacy laws and such. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  03:30, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - the station exists (digital version only, as thousands of comparable stations around the World) despite needing firm references in English, why there is no dedicated page on Swedish Wikipedia if the station is so notable? GizzyCatBella  🍁  06:07, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Playing the devil's advocate I'll just note that WP:NOENG refs are ok. But yeah, not having a sv wiki article is a red flag. Usually such content is better covered in local wikis first. If they don't deem something as important, well... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  07:44, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * delete or merge with Sveriges Radio if there is any connection there. I can't really tell if there is though. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:46, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Sveriges Radio. This is in fact a pretty good source – it is paywalled, but I have access to it, and it is a 3rd-party article specifically about the radio station, not a press release. (It is source 1 in Superastig's list above.) It is, however, the only substantial source I find. 2 is, as Piotrus notices, a press release; 3 is independent but very short (btw, that error message just says "Something is wrong" – if it had been a non-EU connection issue, I'm pretty sure they would have said so, in some kind of approximation of English.) I find a few other sources, but mostly just mentions of the station's existence. The current article is not even correct, since SR Sverige was a traditional station which became digital-only in 2004; in addition, very little of the content that's there should be there... It was most certainly a radio station – the "channel" confusion is a Swenglish issue – and yes, it was part of Sveriges Radio. --bonadea contributions talk 21:25, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the analysis, which now does suggest we have at least a valid SOFTDELETE REDIRECT target. As such, I want to amend my OP to note that I am now fine with REDIRECT since WP:R is no longer an issue. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:33, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment:, I'm aware of the WP:GOOGLEHITS. However, I tend to use it in this AfD since, like I said, I have no knowledge in Swedish language. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 09:50, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Sveriges Radio: Per analysis done by bonadea. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 09:50, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Sveriges Radio per bonadea analysis. --MarioGom (talk) 00:33, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Sveriges Radio, as per Bonadea. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 11:35, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
