Article doesn't estalish notability, and googling doesn't reveal anything very interesting. Tuf-Kat 19:49, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete, uncapped last name rule (extreme likelihood of vanity). Wyss 20:07, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • keep it, minimum participation 2% for the poll to be valid, decision should be valid for 1 month then we should reconsider, decision method should be majority rule Iasson 20:11, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • If you mean for these requirements to apply to this nomination for deletion, we already have a deletion policy in place. If not, to what are you referring? Tuf-Kat 20:22, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • delete as per established procedure as likely vaniy. Can't even spell his own name. Dunc|☺ 20:35, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Article does not establish notability. Gamaliel 21:33, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - as modern Swedish artists go, he's notable.
  • Keep, can any conceptual artist be said to be "notable" in the terms that appear to be being used. This article is factually accurate, and this guy is notable within his sphere (I saw an exhibition of his in Stockholm whilst visiting family). Just because this artist doesn't have a legion of drooling fans creating massive numbers of webpages (and those that do exist are admittedly mostly in Swedish) doesn't make him unnoteworthy. This page just needs moving that's all. Rje 01:57, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • If the article established that he was notable, I would change my vote to keep. If he's had a major exhibition in Stockholm, fine, put it in the article, and then we'd have info on something notable rather than some Swedish dude. Not all conceptual artists are notable, and this article doesn't say he is one anyway -- it says he's a "contemporary artist working within the field of new-media and the conceptual problematics therein", whatever that means.Tuf-Kat 02:03, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)
      • For example: his abnormalAUDIO project appeared in the Helsinki leg of PixelACHE [1]. When it comes down to it, this guy is not internationaly famous, nor is he famous in Sweden, but he is notable within his field. Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, and I fail to see how Senneby is any more obscure/unnoteworthy than Grave (band) and Pain of Salvation in terms of Swedish artists/musicians, or any of the shedloads of Star Wars fancruft that are floating about.

  • Delete: He is one founder of the abnormalAUDIO project. That's the closest thing the article offers for notability, and it requires external research to establish that that's meaningful. It's true that Wikipedia is not paper, but it's also true that, while we can be more contemporary than most, we still should be somewhat conservative. Most artists have original ideas or techniques, but we have to rely upon the arts community to act as a sort of peer review to separate the notable from the struggling. At this point, this particular artist does not appear to be notable enough. Geogre 05:47, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable enough for this project. Dr Zen 06:15, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Obvious keep. Another "if I've not heard of him/her/it, it can't be notable". He's well-known in Sweden. Dan100 10:07, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)
For the record, who said, "I haven't heard of it, so it's not notable?" Second, if you know that he is well known in Sweden, you will, of course, have some verification and be adding it to the article? You can demonstrate to the dubious that, in fact, the arts community is honoring him as a leader? Geogre 15:52, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete Very low google hits for a "new media" artists (101, including the article and the vfd here at en. Not on sv.wikipedia. - Amgine 00:58, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Mikkalai 03:39, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Relevant and informative. The group of contemporary artists aren't that many and they should not be rated based on their nationality but rather on their relevance. Senneby obviously works in a relevant field of art. --81.232.78.225 12:45, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - no nomination criterion satisfying Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Interesting to who? - David Gerard 23:14, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • I change my vote to keep. Article now establishes notability. Note that page should be moved to Jakob Senneby if kept. Tuf-Kat 23:30, Dec 27, 2004 (UTC)
