Fails GNG and NMUSIC. The article has a single source which appears to not mention the subject at all. The only things I found on the internet, were a ticket sales site, several pages that trivially mention the subject, and a paywalled article that may provide significant coverage. But I'm afraid even if it does, that's just not enough; NMUSIC required "multiple, non-trivial, published works" and GNG "stipulates that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article".

According to the article's own lead, the band might satisfy a view NMUSIC criteria but I couldn't find any sources that back this up. Colonestarrice (talk) 12:32, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep many sources in Gnews in Swedish, there's an Aftonbladet newspaper article about their 50 yrs in music and a few others. One by Svierges Radio also. Oaktree b (talk) 13:29, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets several trivially sourceable WP:NMUSIC criteria, including 2: Single on national chart, 10: participated in Melodifestivalen, and the persistent popularity of their Christmas song in Sweden is hard to understate (although I couldn't fit it into anything from NMUSIC) EditorInTheRye (talk) 14:31, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - an observation also - you were preparing this AfD while it was still under the name Adolphson–Falk - the correct sylisation is actually Adolphson & Falk (since corrected). Would this explain why you were unable to find coverage? EditorInTheRye (talk) 14:35, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. I can't find any more sources now than before the move. Colonestarrice (talk) 14:40, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @EditorInTheRye and Oaktree b: can you please link to these sources or reference them on the article. Colonestarrice (talk) 14:39, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (with an admitted weakness) - Under the name Adolphson & Falk, a standard Google search in English brings up few useful results, probably because Google decided to give me (and everyone above) English only. However a search in Google News brings up a lot of hits in Swedish media, and here are just a few examples: [1], [2], [3], [4]. This shows me that they are well-known in their country, but I admit that I'm unsure of the reliability of some of those Swedish sources. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:05, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
