I PRODded this, saying "Article lacks proper secondary sourcing; nothing in here makes it somehow automatically notable." Creator removed the tag, saying "does have secondary sources"--yeah, but not proper ones, except for one short article in a local Swedish paper, and one (about the founder, mostly) in a publication from the University of Lund. Given that the company was founded in 1983, that's not a lot, to put it mildly. Drmies (talk) 18:16, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It does have proper ones, Sydsvenskan, Dagens industri, and Lund University are proper sources. Ljuvlig (talk) 18:23, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sydsvenskan is the dominating newspaper in southern Sweden. I wouldn't lump it together with "local papers" in general. /Julle (talk) 23:37, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dagens Nyheter, which is Swedens biggest newspaper, has now been added to the list. Ljuvlig (talk) 08:01, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, but better yet create Carl Borrebaeck and merge into that. I can't see the Dagens Nyheter article beyond the opening, which suggests it offers little more than corroboration of one of the listed collaborations with other companies. The Dagens industri search link yielded nothing I saw as useful beyond referencing the company's research focus (2 of the 3 articles there are focused on their financials). I agree Sydsvenskan is not to be sneezed at, but I'd like to see at least one similar article all about the company rather than what we have, which is that plus a couple of short articles and the Lund University mag on Borrebaeck. Borrebaeck, in contrast, appears to meet our notability standard handily: first professor of immunology in Scandinavia, member of a learned society, has received what appears to be a major award, and much coverage mentions more than one of the companies he's founded (one source says this was the first).
