• - Article not yet long enough at only 1213 characters, way under the minimum limit. EagerToddler39 (talk) 11:38, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

• Expansion completed.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:42, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Did some copyedit to fix the prose but article is still within limit. As the sources are all foreign language did not check for duplicates or copyvio. QPQ confirmed. Disambiguation link to TV4 needs fixing. Hook fact is contained in article and inline cited to three foreign language sources. However hook fact is far from interesting. So what if he's been hosting a Swedish morning show with another TV host? There doesn't appear to be anything fascinating about any piece of that information. Perhaps suggest a better hook that takes into account his appearance on Let's Dance 2014. EagerToddler39 (talk) 03:51, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

I have added an alternative hook. Take a look.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:27, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

May I also suggest to the closer of this nom to use the photo to inhance the impact of the weightloss.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:30, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

- Hook needs slight modification as apostrophe s ('s) is missing. Would suggest you change it to "during his time ... Steffo lost 12 kg. You also need to fix the link to TV4. It currently points to a disambiguation page. EagerToddler39 (talk) 20:31, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

I have now fixed it.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:41, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

All's okay now.EagerToddler39 (talk) 23:44, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure the Alt is accurate. If the translation I've got is accurate, "Imorse vägde jag 12 kilo mindre än när vi började träna, sa han." means that he lost the weight training for the competition, not as part of it. Sven Manguard Wha? 05:46, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Could you please double check the |author= parameters in the references? Some of them may have incorrect information in them. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 23:44, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

- Also the image has nothing to do with the weight-loss since the photo was taken in December 2012, long before the competition. EagerToddler39 (talk) 00:00, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

I am withdrawing this nomination. I will take a look at the concerns later in the coming week but I simply think it is better for the article to not appear at DYK. --BabbaQ (talk) 14:13, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
