Speedy deletion nomination of Nan Bentzen Skille
A tag has been placed on Nan Bentzen Skille requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

June 2009
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Triplestop (talk) 14:39, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

When you
Hei!

When you write on a talk page, the common convention is to add ~ at the end of your entry. This automatically signs your name so others know who wrote the text.

And things appear to have settled down - no AfD entry so far. I haven't forgotten your article and will get back to it someday.

Discussion you may be interested in on Nan Bentzen Skille
I worked a little on your Nan Bentzen Skille article, but am unsure I can get it past the notability hurdles. This comes from an editor who tries to save articles - I normally do my best to beef them up and like to see them saved when possible.

The relevant notability criteria (WP:AUTHOR, WP:PROF, & WP:ANYBIO) are applied in a rather draconian fashion for autobiographical additions. This helps reduce the proliferation of borderline autobiographical contributions. The application is so strict that it even cuts into biographical contributions by disinterested authors - last year I lost an article on a Norwegian regional historian that I thought worthy, and I had done my best to make the article as strong as I could, only to have it deleted.

Bottom line, I suspect your article may not pass the notability test if I submitted it for the WP:AFD review, so I submitted it preliminarily to Wikiproject Norway for an opinion before turning the wolves loose on it. If they muster support, I can probably get it past the AfD crowd (and may be able to fend off the WP:AFD process altogether). But if Wikiproject Norway doesn't support...
