- (not a review) Possible rephrasing, though still wordy:
- ALT1 ... that at age 18, the perpetrator of a stabbling attack in Malmö was the youngest person in modern Swedish history to be given a life sentence?
Also noting that the fact isn't currently mentioned in the article.Hameltion (talk | contribs) 20:51, 2 November 2023 (UTC)- Wait, realized it is, my mistake. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 20:52, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- This is a bit less wordy:
- ALT1a: ... that the 18-year-old behind the Malmö school stabbing was the youngest recipient of a life sentence in modern Swedish history?

I am sorry to say that I am not satisfied with the size of this article. While the text altogether contains 1641 characters, it is only 1195 without the lead - which, of course, summarizes (i.e. repeats) the content of the rest of the article. There is even a section (arguably two) composed of a single sentence. The sources cited offer more than enough information to write a proper article. Furthermore, some of the information (e.g. the murderer's date of birth) is not found in the cited sources. Surtsicna (talk) 01:09, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

The nominator appears to have left Wikipedia per WP:VANISH; as such, unless another editor decides to pick this up it may be time to consider the nomination as abandoned. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:16, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
