- Keep - I believe this article clearly meets WP:GNG based on significant coverage available on her, specifically news articles in Swedish. See this article from Hemmets Journal, this interview from Västerbottens-Kuriren, this article from Resumé, this article from Svenska Dagbladet, and this article from Umeå University, among others. I just googled her name while restricting the search to only .se (for Sweden) websites. Best Bridget (talk) 00:26, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Three out of four are interviews that don't meet the criteria for significant, independent, and reliable coverage. Interviews should be disregarded entirely. Cinder painter (talk) 08:07, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- It all depends on the format of the interview: Does it include independent observations, commentary, and facts reported and vetted by a secondary source? These would tend to count toward notability. Or is it a straight Q&A format or "as told to" interview with little or no independent framing whatsoever? These would tend not to count toward notability. Cielquiparle (talk) 13:40, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- Where in the rules does it say that interviews do not count? Sjö (talk) 09:36, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep She has hosted several notable TV shows, from 2002 on, and produced some too. There is more information in the Swedish Wikipedia article, and in the sources there and those that the previous editor found. Some of them are interviews, but they are long articles with content from the journalist interviewing her, as well as her responses - and they are not the kind of interview that asks 'What's your favourite colour?' or other trivial questions. I believe that she meets WP:JOURNALIST, and if we had access to digitised Swedish newspapers, I expect we would find more sources that WP:NEXIST. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:16, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
