The notability of this subject is quite unclear. No sources are given, and the article has been routinely edited by Mikael Nordfors himself: he has written the bulk of the text and removed a PROD tag. I'm concerned about WP:BLP issues as well -- even though this is written mainly by the subject and therefore not something he would object to, this is fundamentally a poorly sourced article saying some scandalous things about a living person. (edit: The things have been removed; you can look in the history to see what they were.)

As far as I can tell his notability comes from three claims: (1) his book, which the article claims to have been a bestseller, but there's no source and I couldn't verify it. The book is being sold online but seems to be heavily discounted. (2) His conflict with medical authorities over this "anal massage" thing, which is very sparsely covered (and only in Swedish AFAICT, so I couldn't actually verify it). (3) His connection to DemoEx. DemoEx doesn't have an article and I couldn't verify its notability. It seems to be an experimental idea with an extremely low profile. The World Parliament Experiment is also a low-profile organization; the article started by Mikael Nordfors. No independent reliable sources back up any of this claim (and being invited to participate in some conferences, while surely exciting, doesn't make for real notability.)

• I'd rather not. It isn't that closely linked with Nordfors, and might actually be notable. Suspicious, but at least deserves independent consideration IMO. Mangojuice^talk 17:24, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
