Notability
Hi. For what it's worth, this subject has an entry in the Norwegian Wikipedia, which I know is not in itself a justification for a translation here. However, doing a Google search, there also seem to be a good number of Norwegian language references (the criteria for references in English Wikipedia does not require them to be in the English language) from reliable sources. There is, for instance, a non-obituary confirmation of his DOB, plus some other fairly important academic positions he held, at http://snl.no/Kaare_%C3%98rnung. The subject seems very well-known in his country. However, I am not going to remove the deletion notice, as I am not completely sure that notability is met in the final analysis. I must say that the point about the subject possibly not having an article if he hadn't died seems irrelevant, in that omission of an article through oversight is always possible - an oversight which clearly didn't happen in the Norwegian version, you will see. Call this food for thought if you will - it is not the first, nor will it be the last, article to have been created purely to prevent it being a redlink on the list of Deaths in 2013!

 * Glad to see that sense, in consensus, prevailed, and the Deletion notice was validly removed. Ref (chew) (do) 16:55, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
