This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Sweden. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Sweden|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Sweden. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Europe.

• Comment The article provides basic information about his ice hockey career but lacks in-depth coverage from reliable, independent sources to establish strong notability--LusikSnusik (talk) 12:38, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Non-notable subject; I am unable to find any significant coverage, or anything other than mentions in listings or statistics. No references with significant coverage appear to exist for this subject. —Sparkle and Fade (talk • contributions) 10:54, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I found mentions of him in Swedish and Danish newspapers, but it seems to be routine match coverage: [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] These two[18][19] appear more focused on him but I'm not sure about the source. I'm leaning delete based on what I see here but it's worth noting that Swedish/Danish sources don't tend to index like some other places; I had to search those newspapers manually for his name. Zzz plant (talk) 04:06, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  These three, [20][21][22], may also be more than routine but I cannot assess properly them due to logins. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 09:57, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• It is always good when one can just steal the AFD rationale from a Cornell University professor in a CUP book:

  The association of Thomas Glover with Tsuru Yamamura as a potential Butterfly is a fiction perpetuated in tourist brochures and popular magazines: there is no naval officer, no desertion, and no attempted suicide — Tsuru died following surgery in Tokyo in 1899. The misinformation has been perpetuated by, among others, Duiti Miyazawa, “The Original Cio-cio-san,” Opera News, 17.11 (January 1953): 2–5 and “La vera Cio-cio-san,” Musica d'oggi, NS 1,2-3; Roderick Cameron "The Real Madame Butterfly," Musical Americal, 82, no. 1 (November 1962): 10-11, 46. Edith Correl Spindle, a daughter of Jennie Correll, who had known the Glovers and studied the opera at the New England Conservatory of Music, was outraged over Miyasawa's speculation. Opera News did not print her letter of protest.

  — Groos, Arthur (2023). Madama Butterfly/Madamu Batafurai: Transpositions of a 'Japanese Tragedy'. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 9781009250702., p.224

  Professor Groos could have added "and by Wikipedia for 17 years". And if you enjoyed that, there's this swipe in a research guide from a musicologist at the University of Richmond, in the entry for the aforementioned Miyasawa 1959 harvnb error: no target: CITEREFMiyasawa1959 (help) article:

  Miyasawa reveals that the model for Cio-Cio-San was Tsuru Yamamura, a geisha married to the Scottish businessman Thomas Glover. After offering facts that contradict these identifications, the author concludes that the truth is unimportant […]

  — Fairtile, Linda B. (2013). Giacomo Puccini: A Guide to Research. Routledge Music Bibliographies. Routledge. ISBN 9781135592349., p.151

  Scholars say that all the sources that we could possibly use here for writing on this subject, Tsuru Yamamura by a supposed other name, are untruths. Groos even explains how this falsehood was invented for American tourists because the Japanese couldn't shake the nickname given by Occupying American forces to Glover's mansion after World War 2. Wikipedia is not — well, no longer — for perpetuating a historical myth fabricated for tourists. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 02:29, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment does anyone know here Japanese name is (the kanji that is). So I can have a Japanese search on either GBooks or GNews. Thanks Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 14:35, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you want to get a grasp of where the academics stand on this, which is largely that there's no correlation between historical figures and an opera, and that the assertions that there is come from people wanting to promote tourism or their claims of family background, I suggest starting with Earns 2007 harvnb error: no target: CITEREFEarns2007 (help) cited in Thomas Blake Glover. Take particular note of the addendum and Earns's own expert opinion of Van Rij's sources. Our article in fact has cited the later Burke-Gaffney book since 2007. Groos has expanded on xyr position since 1991, but mainly only by adding the Cary Grant connection. I quote xem from 2023 above. Uncle G (talk) 16:07, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Noting the previous discussions on the article Talk page and the article as it was at the point of nomination, I am seeing an article predominantly about acquisitions and partnership deals, which are insufficient for WP:CORPDEPTH. The available press articles appear to be start-up coverage of great things ahead (and the paywalled ones may be similar). The SRNL-DOE case study is also not about the company as such. There appears to be insufficient coverage to demonstrate attained notability. AllyD (talk) 13:26, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
