- Article long enough and new enough at time of nomination. Copyvio check clean. However, hook fact doesn't seem interesting. EagerToddler39 (talk) 19:49, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm trying to think up another hook (ALT1 is not much better). However, the article requires some cleanup. A few of the sections headings are in Swedish. I recommend removing all the red links. Article requires copy-editing for grammar and sentence structure in quite a few cases: Eg. "After working at Stora Teatern in Gothenburg, Rydberg started working" is awkward wording. I'll jump in to sort out some of the issues I've notice as soon as I can fit it into my schedule over the next few days. I'll also need to consult someone on the sources. Perhaps they may even show up something "Hook" worthy. EagerToddler39 (talk) 21:24, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- When it comes to the hooks I think one of the proposed hooks are good enough but if you feel that you can find some even better one go ahead. But I feel personally that it is a bit "over achiever warning" to say that any of the two proposed hooks are not good enough. Anyway thanks for reviewing this anyway and helping :)--BabbaQ (talk) 23:38, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- I just attempted a minor copy edit of the article. Additional improvements still needed. Some awkward wording still present. Please fix "stage parter during several bar and television shows" - didn't want to make assumptions about your meaning. I'm still not convinced that either hook is interesting enough and I wasn't able to come up with an alternative after going through the article again. Since we disagree in this area I will defer to another reviewer. EagerToddler39 (talk)
Fresh set of eyes needed to rule on either hook or to suggest an alternative. EagerToddler39 (talk) 22:44, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
I think the proposed hooks are interesting enough; it would be a shame to disqualify this article on the basis that Rydberg's achievements don't mean much to an English-speaking audience. I prefer the original, but they both check out (AGF on Swedish sources). Image is CC licensed and QPQ requirements are met. DoctorKubla (talk) 10:08, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
