Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Runar Karlsson
We probably ought to throw  out the window on this as its generic requirements are ill-suited to these strange cases. On the one hand, this guy's political activities are limited to a very small jurisdiction similar in size to a local council. On the other hand, the jurisdiction enjoys considerable autonomy; thus its legislators would have significant power. He seems to have a reasonable degree of http://news.google.com.au/archivesearch?q=%22runar+karlsson%22+aland&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&ned=au coverage (although bear in mind I can't understand a word of it). Ultimately, I don't have any problem with having a properly sourced article about a person who is obviously quite a significant political figure in an autonomous jurisdiction. But it is a weak keep because I am troubled about taking this position to its logical extreme (Norfolk Island etc.), and may be convinced to change my vote
