Based on the author's username, this is likely autobiographical. But the main issue is that there do not appear to be adequate secondary sources to support notability. The best I can find are articles about some of the art he has exhibited (https://alltomstockholm.se/pagang/lagergrens-pappersdjur-galleri/), but these aren't really about him. This one has a tiny bit about him: mainly just his method for the art piece.

Comment. I'm not fluent in Swedish, but we'd have to check if he "is regarded as an important figure", "is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique", "has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work" and that work has: "(a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums". Certainly his GNG notability claim appears quite weak. Best, PK650 (talk) 21:47, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - See also Draft:Nils Lagergren, the disposition of which should depend on the disposition of this article. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:55, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete - There is no indication that the subject satisfies any of the notability criteria for creative professions. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:55, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
