Deprodded with a "seems clearly notable to me", but I still find no sources. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:08, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. There is something very strange about this. First of all, the first two external links on the page come up with 404 Not Found. Second, this park is not covered in either of the Norwegian Wikipedias (no and nn). Third, the size of the park is given as 2390 square meters, which is about 25,000 square feet, or a little over 1/2 acre. Yet the article says that there that there are four pools and a changing room for 550 people (in 1/2 acre!). I cannot read the Norwegian references, so cannot confirm any of the info. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 20:46, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. The 404 problem is just an outdated link, I suspect; here is the English website. More than 100 references come up at GNews, in Norwegian. I sent a few of these to Google Translate and they do seem to confirm the content of the article.  Will list this at  WikiProject Deletion sorting/Norway to see if anyone has insight on whether this is a significant swim complex.--Arxiloxos (talk) 22:56, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep I just added 5 newspaper references, which should end any question of notability. A news search in Atekst (Norwegian offline newspaper) gave 214 hits, so there is loads more to take of. Arsenikk (talk)  23:22, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
