RFC: Is this BLP a cleverly disguised joke[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

While I am aware that "ore" and "knut" happen to be Norwegian names, it seems very unlikely that a person who "happens" to be named "knut m ore" who has only a single reference of a news article I cannot track down really exists. Could any editors with experience in BLP's and can read Norwegian assist? Jcmcc (Talk) 18:31, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly don't understand why the name would be considered joke-y. You can safely retract the RFC, but it is however a concern that various editors have added unsourced content to the article since its creation. Geschichte (talk) 18:00, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was suspicious of the name as in English it appears to be "Nutt More" in which the verb "Nutt" happens to be a slang term for male orgasm. Jcmcc (Talk) 20:37, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I hope the added references, although mostly in Norwegian, can indicate the existence of Mr. Ore. Regards, GAD (talk) 12:40, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, this effectively clears up my suspicions. I simply knew there had to be more sources of someone with so much influence. I'll archive this since this is clearly answered. Jcmcc (Talk) 20:37, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
