Murders at Malexander

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Minor crime with no encyclopedic relevancy. Also suggest we delete the separate articles on each of the robbers. Orange Mike | Talk 16:31, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - One of swedens most noted criminal cases. If not the most covered criminal case in Swedish history. Passes WP:GNG.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:12, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Also the suggestion that we should delete the separate articles on the robbers seems drastic these people are "noted criminals" in Sweden with a long criminal background which covers WP:CRIME.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:13, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But I created this muder-article, because those murders are very well-known in Sweden. I am a user from Sweden, even if I'm blocked from svwp, I want to develop enwp with new articles about well-known murders, actors, etc in/from Sweden. And I really wonder, why this Malexander-article must be deleted????? Björn Bergman 17:47, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seems you dont get this process yet. Its not at all clear that this article will be deleted. But a user on the Wikipedia is of that opinion and has raised it up at this AfD for discussion. I take it you want it Kept so then make that opinion heard instead of arguing about why it was put up for AfD.--BabbaQ (talk) 19:23, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but I deleted the delete-requestion because I thought that it was wrong, hope you understand now. Sorry... But I hope that enwp will keep this Malexander-article. Best regards Björn Bergman 19:29, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could you make your opinion more decisive please.. just follow how I stated my Keep decision.--BabbaQ (talk) 00:18, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I want enwp to KEEP the "Malexander murders" article. Björn Bergman 16:02, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - even just from the sources in the article, it's clear that this was a notable crime which received significant coverage over a long period of time. I do agree with the nominator that separate articles on the perpetrators aren't really needed, and they should probably be merged into the main article per WP:PERP and WP:BLP1E.

Delete: As per nom. Nothing in the article, as it is currently written, conveys the idea of notability. But, if somebody improved on it, I'd be willing to re-consider my position.Boneyard90 (talk) 06:16, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Because it's an article which really is sourced, AND it's well-known Swedish murders. I wrote it because I wanted to develop enwp with Swedish well-known murders etc. I know it because I'm from Sweden (but I'm blocked from svwp, due to a conflict, BUT I want to develop WP). So please DON'T Delete the article...! Best regards Björn Bergman 16:36, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I'm Swedish, and I agree that this is one of the most notable crimes in modern Swedish history, perhaps second only to the Palme murder. Its notable not only for being unusually violent, but also for the neo-nazi terrorist connections of the perpetrators.

Comment Please note that since its nomination, this article has been moved from Murders at Malexander to Malexander murders. --MelanieN (talk) 20:33, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the article about what appears to have been quite a notorious robbery/murder. With regard to the separate articles about the perpertrators, I would keep the article about Jackie Arklöv since he was notable for other crimes in addition to this one. The other two, Tony Olsson and Andreas Axelsson, should probably be redirected/merged to this article since they are not notable for anything else. --MelanieN (talk) 20:39, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
