I would like a source for the claim that many refer to him as "Landsfaderen". I have never heard this from anyone.213.123.181.135 (talk) 14:35, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

-I am from Norway, and I call him "Landsfaderen." Since old social democrats is not the first thing people speak about, it is hard to find someone using the word (however it is accepted by Språkrådet (Norwegian Language Council)). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.209.151.140 (talk) 01:56, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Soviet spy
The suggestion that Norway's PM for much of the period 19450-1965 was a Soviet spy needs more detail, or should be deleted as fanciful.203.80.61.102 (talk) 04:28, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Political legacy
Hi, there is a "citation needed" tag on "Gerhardsen's political legacy is still an important force in Norwegian politics ...". Perhaps the sentence is too strongly worded, and, as a summary, comes close to OR or SYNTH. Gerhardsen's personal influence must have ended, one might assume, with his death in 1987; otoh many institutions that were innovations of his governments continue to exist, and form the general topography of politics to this day, e.g. the corporatist economic model, the technocratic governance, the NATO membership but resistance to nuclear weapons, etc.. Of course there have been many, many changes, but the Gerhardsen model is what these changes are made to. IOW there are good reasons to claim that Gerhardsen's political legacy is still an important force in Norwegian politics; the problem is that if inclusion in Wikipedia rests on finding exact quotes for every line, this line might fail the test. My strictly personal opinion is that if the article was about Norwegian poitics, one might perhaps improve the article by specifying this claim a little further, but as the article is about Gerhardsen, one might defend it as a sort of tribute to his work. The SNL article on him ( https://snl.no/Einar_Gerhardsen ) has a link to an article ( https://snl.no/Norge_i_etterkrigstiden ) on Norway's post-WWII years, where Gerhardsen is a major figure, and which describes much of the politics, if anyone wants to detail them.
