 Keep and Move to "Djungelboken" per Julle. Rorshacma (talk) 16:15, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Its a little difficult to search for sources for this particular adaptation, since The Jungle Book has been adapted many different times, but I'm not finding any, and the article provides no sources except for its own website.  Thus, I am being led to believe that there is nothing notable about this particular adaptation of it.  Rorshacma (talk) 16:44, 23 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Just looking at the article, I'd agree. However, I did a quick search in Mediearkviet ("The Media Archive"), where a number of Swedish newspapers keep digital archives. The director, Alexander Mørk-Eidem, was nominated for the Swedish Theater Critics Award in the children and youth category in 2007, citing his work with the play (Svenska Dagbladet 2008-01-05). I find (mainly positive) reviews in pretty much all of the major Swedish newspapers, e.g. Aftonbladet 2007-01-13, Metro (TT) 2007-01-13, Svenska Dagbladet 2007-01-10, Göteborgs-Posten 2007-01-14. There are also shorter articles in newspapers in neighbouring countires (Finnish Hufvudstadsbladet 2007-01-09, Norwegian Dagbladet). And then yet again when it moved to another stage in Västerås (e.g. Svenska Dagbladet 2007-12-23). The adaption is also mentioned in later articles, referred to as a "success" or "cash cow" ("kassako"). So, yes, in obvious need of sources and of a rewrite, but definitely notable. /Julle (talk) 00:28, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd like to see the article renamed and moved to Djungelboken, though. This isn't an article about Kipling's (English) work. It's an article about a Swedish play. It should use the Swedish name unless the adaption is translated to English and gets an official English name. /Julle (talk) 00:30, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'd support that too. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:56, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep given the sources listed by Julle, which are from the major Scandinavian newspapers. The article clearly needs a serious makeover using these sources but there's no doubt that is now possible, so there's no problem with GNG. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:55, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
