Jan Gulbrandsen
5x expanded by Geschichte (talk). Nominated by Oceanh (talk) at 21:07, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * ... that Jan Gulbrandsen, president of the Norwegian Olympic Committee and managing director of the Norwegian Automobile Federation, won eight national championships in the 400 metres hurdles?


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new enough and long enough expansion wise. Article is supported by inline citations. Article is neutral enough. Hook is 192 characters with spaces and looks properly fomatted.


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Spot checked for plagiarism but sources are all in Norwegian. Google translation and the information is so concise and factual that any similarities does not give me too many worries because there just appears to be no other way to word it.   No images so no need to check copyright on them.  Hook is interesting enough.
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article text says " He became Norwegian champion in the event from 1957 through 1964". It does not say eight, but I can count both the source and it this appears to be true based on interpreting the article and the source.  It might be nice for the article to say "He became Norwegian champion in the event from 1957 through 1964, winning a total of eight times, and won a silver medal in 1965." or something like that but good enough. --LauraHale (talk) 22:03, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
