Fails WP:GNG. Appears to be a promotional article about a non-notable jeweler. The only significant coverage I could find were Danish sources, the first few of which were about him being sued as a "swindler". Bbb23 (talk) 00:29, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The article needs rewriting, but from what I can see on Google Translate of the news articles, Olander does seem to have ongoing news coverage. Not extensive, and mostly contentious, but the fact none of it is in English doesn't mean that the sources are non-reliable. He also caused a stir for controversial/blasphemous T-shirts for Gorilla in 2005/06 which is in a couple news articles on G News. Granted, it's not extensive coverage, but it IS ongoing - if VERY borderline, notability wise. The "swindler" accusations seem to be from another jeweller claiming that he has stolen their designs for traditional 2000-year-old designs (which just seems to have had the effect of giving Olander publicity.). I also find sources like this and this (and this although I'm a bit dubious about whether it counts as a RS) demonstrating ongoing coverage since 2005/06.
