I am posting this AfD on behalf of IP 83.254.148.228 (talk · contribs) whose reason is:

An editor suggested that I ask that these articles be deleted. They both concern Swedish facebook groups that were reported in Swedish national newspapers that discussed exactly one illegal act, (a) respectively hitting a cabinet minister in the face with a pie and (b) putting up posters on buildings in Malmö supporting Donbass insurgents and attacking Kiev's government in the city of Malmö.

(a) Fag Army's pie-thrower was named in the media. Please note that the Swedish article was deleted, following a discussion on the article talk page.

(b) Email from the Donbass Association Malmö (misnamed) was reported in an unreliable source; this email states that the facebook group was founded by four 20-30 year olds who fear having their names revealed. I can imagine that one or more may not yet be an adult.

I have not investigated these articles and express no opinion. JohnCD (talk) 18:53, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

  • Weak keep - As far as I can tell, the organization is notable because of the pie in the face incident, for which is received coverage is several sources. Thus it would seem to meet WP:ORGDEPTH, which states "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability." On the other hand, the coverage could be considered incidental.- MrX 19:06, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment. Won't get involved in this. I should also add though that I have yet to update the article following the pie-thrower's conviction. Stamboliyski (talk) 19:09, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
@Stamboliyski: It's considered appropriate for the article creator to get involved in the AfD discussion. If you know of more recent sources, that would helpful.- MrX 19:24, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
Hm, I thought it was the opposite. This article by Sveriges Radio features a news report about the conviction of the assailant, a photo of him, an interview with him in which he explains the motives of his group, and a mention of him as a LGBT activist.
