Has three interviews in Swedish mainstream media about his career: [1][2][3]. Although it is WP:SIGCOV, it's not the strongest WP:GNG pass. – Thjarkur (talk) 09:24, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Via Google Translate, the sources located by the previous voter are friendly interviews and don't go into much depth, so I respectfully disagree on WP:SIGCOV. Otherwise, Olofsson seems to be making a solid living as an artist known to musicians (some quite notable) within the extreme metal scene. Congrats to him, but he has not received significant media coverage in his own right, and (except for those minor interviews) is only visible in the usual professional directories and social media services. He has not received the coverage that is necessary per the most relevant guideline: WP:ARTIST. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:01, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He appears to have a following on indie blogs and death metal websites. Noting much in the way of RS though. He will be ready for an article once a couple of RS publications write profiles on his work.--- Possibly (talk) 17:40, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - WP:TOOSOON for this artist. I also respectfully disagree that the interviews are SIGCOV, interviews are normally considered primary sources/self-published material so they generally don't count towards GNG notability criteria unless there is a significant amount of content before the interview begins. At this time he does not pass WP:NARTIST nor WP:GNG. Netherzone (talk) 18:59, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:GNG. --Devoke water 11:48, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
