  • Comment: We don't refer to people by first name only; please change to either full name, last name only, or personal pronoun. DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:25, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: The first source (Kyrkans Tidning) is the strongest, although it seems to be based on an interview. The second is a primary source. The third is overtly an interview. These are not enough to satisfy the general notability guideline WP:GNG. I also don't see anything there that would meet WP:MUSICBIO in any obvious way?
