I'm not seeing much of an assertion of notability, and I don't know if the sourcing supplied in the article is sufficient for the GNG. A quick Google doesn't pick up much sourcing. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:18, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in reliable, independent third-party sources. Should such sources be integrated into the article feel free to leave a note on my talk page and I'll take another look. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:23, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: With two of the listed sources being in Swedish, this should have been listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sweden at an earlier stage. --Hegvald (talk) 23:16, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Passes WP:BIO. also the fact that this person has an article on swedish wikipedia proves that the person has made an impact on Sweden. --BabbaQ (talk) 23:19, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, having an article on the Swedish Wikipedia doesn't really prove anything. --Hegvald (talk) 14:16, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now. The article is actually cited with "reliable, independent third-party sources", although the depth of coverage may be difficult to judge without checking the sources. Svenskt konstnärslexikon is a well-known Swedish work of reference, a dictionary of biography of Swedish artists, but it is also a bit on the inclusive side, including many short articles on comparatively obscure artists and artisans. Jeff Werner, Medelvägens estetik is a two-volume, roughly 1000-page collection of studies of American images of and ideas about Sweden. Werner, the author, is a professor of art history at Stockholm University. (The book has been reviewed in Sweden's second-largest morning paper, Svenska Dagbladet.) Without checking whether Hasselgren is extensively discussed or just mentioned in passing by Werner, the value of the reference is difficult to judge. The value of Svenskt konstnärslexikon would also depend on the amount of coverage. I don't really have time until well after this discussion is supposed to close to check either of these references. If somebody else is willing to do so and can show that the coverage in the cited references is insufficient, I will reconsider this "keep". --Hegvald (talk) 14:16, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, just per Hegvald. Johnbod (talk) 16:15, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
