This article is just a list of actors and characters in non-notable a Swedish TV show with no claim of notability. MorbidEntree - _{(Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)}(please reply using {{ping}}) 08:50, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - There were articles in some of the major Swedish dailies, such as Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet, before the series started. The Svenska Dagbladet article [1] in particular is a full-length piece about the filming and content of the series. Once it had started it didn't garner a lot of notice and apparently it sank into obscurity after a couple of seasons, but I do think the coverage just barely meets WP:GNG. It's also relevant that the programme was reported to the government agency that regulates the content of Swedish radio and TV programming, for ridiculing and harassing a group of people with disabilities. (All this is now present in the article - it wasn't before.) --bonadea contributions talk 11:43, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I admit that I wish I could !vote delete because it seems like the kind of show that, in my personal view, ought to be buried very deep and forgotten... but sadly, although I'd never heard of it before, the sources were not hard to find. (I still don't think the sourcing is particularly strong, though. Nobody seems to have written much about it after the first season.) --bonadea contributions talk 08:33, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per bonadea. Pwolit iets (talk) 14:23, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - yes the article is bad and definitely needs references. but that is not a reason for deletion. the programme is well noted and has been referred to in noted media such mentioned above. BabbaQ (talk) 08:25, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Series broadcast for three seasons on a nation-wide TV Channel, watched by 1.5 million people in a population of 9. Lots of locally very famous Swedish actors and an internationally famous guest star (Chevy Chase). /FredrikT (talk) 11:34, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
