The result was keep. Notability established at prior AfD discussion. Notability is not temporary, and no argument has been put forward to suggest the prior evidence of notability was incorrect or that the prior AfD conclusion was wrong. Even without the prior AfD, sufficient sources are shown here and in the article itself to establish notability. Any future AfD should address this and the prior AfD and demonstrate how these conclusions are flawed. Non-admin closure per WP:NAC #1. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:22, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. The previous AfD from 2012 was a clear "keep" outcome, and I have linked to it here above using {{subst:oldafdlist|The Jungle Book (Swedish play)}}. From that discussion it is worth quoting Julle:
I did a quick search in Mediearkviet ("The Media Archive"), where a number of Swedish newspapers keep digital archives. The director, Alexander Mørk-Eidem, was nominated for the Swedish Theater Critics Award in the children and youth category in 2007, citing his work with the play (Svenska Dagbladet 2008-01-05). I find (mainly positive) reviews in pretty much all of the major Swedish newspapers, e.g. Aftonbladet 2007-01-13, Metro (TT) 2007-01-13, Svenska Dagbladet 2007-01-10, Göteborgs-Posten 2007-01-14. There are also shorter articles in newspapers in neighbouring countires (Finnish Hufvudstadsbladet 2007-01-09, Norwegian Dagbladet). And then yet again when it moved to another stage in Västerås (e.g. Svenska Dagbladet 2007-12-23). The adaption is also mentioned in later articles, referred to as a "success" or "cash cow" ("kassako"). So, yes, in obvious need of sources and of a rewrite, but definitely notable.
- and I do not see the WP:JNN argument being a "strong reason supporting deletion", cf. WP:LASTTIME.
- I have added a few more references with significant coverage readily found online, both from reliable, independent sources:
- Lars Collin (10 January 2007). "Våldsamma tag för Mowgli i framtidsdjungel". SvD.se (in Swedish). Retrieved 26 January 2017.
- "Alexander Mørk-Eidem har premiärfest på Wasahof". DN.SE. 12 January 2007. Retrieved 26 January 2017.
- but there are more sources available, e.g. coverage about the Norwegian premiere in 2008, and several of its later productions in e.g. 2011 and 2014. The sources provided and the further existence of suitable sources are what we use to determine if notability is met, and WP:GNG is met here. The lack of an article on sewiki is not an indication of lack of notability, see WP:OTHERLANGS. — Sam Sailor 16:42, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Same reasons as last time. /Julle (talk) 17:28, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
