ELs on page appear to only be to databases (the last two are dead; the latter it appears the URL was taken by some dating site) that don't convey notability, and I couldn't find any coverage of Björklund that wasn't just mentioning his work as a part of iamamiwhoami. The most I got is these two interviews where his more famous bandmate Jonna Lee talks about working with him, but it's still limited to discussing the partnership and not much on him individually. Redirect to iamamiwhoami. QuietHere (talk) 18:06, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the band as suggested. I don't see any coverage about him, it's always in relation to the group. The Swedish article has even less sourcing than this one does. Oaktree b (talk) 19:24, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There is some coverage focused on Björklund, like a 600 words long article in w:sv:Motala & Vadstena Tidning, "Motalamusikern spelar med stjärnorna", and a segment focused on Björklund's project Barbelle in P3, PREMIÄR: Barbelle - "NEVER TOO MUCH". /Julle (talk) 20:29, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Can't read the first because it's behind a paywall, does look like an interview though which is always troubling to some degree. Is it just a Q&A or is there substantial prose from the writer about him? The latter appears to only be two sentences long (assuming I'm allowed to view the whole thing, but it sure looks like it) which I think means it doesn't count as SIGCOV.

Yeah, significant parts of it is an interview – I haven't really made up my mind about this one, but it wasn't enough to convince me to outright argue to keep it. (: The latter is a no longer easily available radio segment; the text is just the presentation. /Julle (talk) 22:17, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out there was an article for his pseudonym Barbelle (since changed to a redirect) which had this review in it, but nothing else of value. It's still not enough to change my mind but it's at least worth mentioning. QuietHere (talk) 23:37, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
