Non-notable nightclub owner. Part of a WP:WALLEDGARDEN of articles about non-notable topics created by an editor with an obvious WP:COI, see this thread at COIN for details. This article is sourced to a single Swedish newspaper article and the subject's autobiography, which is itself extremely obscure (A worldcat search finds it in one library, in Sweden). The article creator has a record of making deceptive citations, and when I do an independent search for this person I find next to nothing. No evidence this person meets WP:GNG, WP:BIO, etc. and in itself owning a popular nightclub (assuming it even was as popular as this article claims) is not a noteworthy achievement.

comment I guess that the only reason as to why you can find Alexandra on the Rocks in Libris is due to a legal deposit. In Sweden you are forced to send one copy to the The National Library of Sweden. It does not show notability. Dnm (talk) 20:41, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - very well known person in Sweden. A simple google search comes up with plenty of hits. Sources in article are ok. she passes WP:GNG.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:52, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@BabbaQ: If sources are that easy to find, I'm sure you can link some for us? Fyddlestix (talk) 20:55, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have added two to the article with expansion of the article as well. So yeah you can be sure :). BabbaQ (talk) 20:58, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - although the suspicions are perfectly understandable, this is a notable figure. A book was written about her in 2014, and she recieved a medal from the King in 2015. I have added some sources to the article. /Elzo 90 (talk) 20:57, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Elzo 90 and BabbaQ: Thank you for providing those sources! I can see that she is notable and withdraw the nomination. I did do my WP:BEFORE but i think my lack of Swedish (and maybe google screening out Swedish-language results?) did me in here. Apologies for the time wasted but it's good that the article actually demonstrates notability now. Fyddlestix (talk) 21:21, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
