Ambassadors are not inherently notable. Fails WP:BIO for lack of coverage. The third reference provided doesn't even mention her. LibStar (talk) 03:57, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I've added better sources and coverage (and removed one of the English refs), like the longer profile from Göteborgs-Posten, the added newspaper articles accessible through sv:Mediearkivet. Sångeland is a career diplomat, having not only served as ambassador to Malaysia, Iran and China, but also headed the Asia and Oceania unit at the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and better coverage than apparent in the article when taken to AfD exists. /Julle (talk) 12:46, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. WP:GNG seems to be met. Fad Ariff (talk) 12:54, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, it's borderline and most of the coverage is from the single event of being appointed as Ambassador to China, but a search under "Helena Sångeland ambassadör" led me to believe that enough SIGCOV exists to make Sångeland pass GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 21:59, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  There was a long piece about her in Göteborgs-Posten already in 2005, though, which was pretty central for my decision to argue for the article to be kept. /Julle (talk) 22:24, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
