This hasn't improved since prod 5 years ago. WP:BEFORE fails to find anything in English and I don't read Norwegian. He might be notable - if there are sources about him, but the article sports none, and the no wiki article is not much better, through it links a WP:OBIT in a newspaper (but we generally want to see more sources than a single obit). Thoughts? Keep and wait another few years or regretfully call it time? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:27, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - WP:OBIT isn't a policy, guideline, or essay - it's a site for deceased Wikipedians that says nothing about how obituaries should be used. Why are you citing it here? There is no bar on using obituaries to support notability - indeed, they're often the ultimate in WP:SIGCOV and it makes absolutely no sense to exclude them in assessing notability. Not knowing Norwegian should make you more careful in this case - indeed, there is no need to assess articles that you do not feel ready to investigate. At the very least based on machine translation I see WP:SIGCOV in the following references: 1 2 3 4. FOARP (talk) 16:28, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep After looking at his bio on the Norwegian Wikipedia, there are two RS there that I've now added to the en-wiki article. No doubt more content and Norwegian sources can be found to improve this stub.   JGHowes   talk  15:40, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
