Originally tagged as a BLP prod on the grounds that none of the references mention the subject. The creator added more references, but was unable to come up with anything other than primary sources and press releases. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 16:02, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - From what I see right now, there are only two references that are independent. One is from Bloomberg and simply mentions his name.  The other is from a source of arguably questionable reliability and again, only mentions the subject.  There seems to be a lot of WP:OR; most notably the idea that he helped save the banking economy in Norway.  If that's the case, it needs to be backed up with reliable and independent sources which, at the same time, would establish notability.  I'd be willing to change my !vote if references are found.

 * That's a press release, not an article. See reliable sources. Hairhorn (talk) 13:09, 5 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. Not that sure about the chap's personal notability, but the company he heads certainly is: The Financial Times search function. --Technopat (talk) 19:12, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Further reference and hyper link added to Wiki Bad Bank page. Please note Corporate Notability implies Personal notability on its executive board. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelbsmith (talk • contribs) 19:47, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Please note that "Corporate Notability" does not imply "Personal Notability" on its executive board. WP:NOTINHERITED says so rather explicitly. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 16:06, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi All, Please can we close this debate now, there is overwhelming evidence in favour of notability etc, Txs 81.100.208.249 (talk) 12:39, 5 July 2010 (UTC) Well to be frank Airhorn your'e not correct. Holding a senior position in a major public company implies notability, that's the reason why they call it Chairman. Please reconsider your views. 81.100.208.249 (talk) 07:42, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable (complete absence of "overwhelming evidence") and working for a notable company isn't by itself enough to make an individual notable. And please stop removing the AFD tag, thanks. Hairhorn (talk) 13:04, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * You might want to brush up on the actual notability guidelines. And don't forget to log in when you comment. Hairhorn (talk) 11:50, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - a mention of the Chairman, or at most a few sentences, should suffice in his company article. No notability otherwise. Jusdafax   08:11, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - Hi All, I have done extensive checking here and does indeed seem to be notability, based on participation in many mergers, public company listings, political influences and previous achievements and contributionsLorenzomarcs (talk) 18:51, 7 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey Lorenz, please check out WP:N which covers Wikipedia's definition of notability. The subject does not appear to satisfy any of the inclusion guidelines outlined at WP:N which is why people have been calling for the article to be deleted.  Ol Yeller  '''Talktome 19:10, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete This is (or at least appears to be) a CV or vanity page of a man doing a job (or a few jobs). I'll take OlYeller's word for the lack of mention in the refs, and would note that the 'high growth companies' developed 'as a CEO and Executive Chairman' are not named. When the term 'his strength' or similar is used, the word 'spam' comes to my mind. Peridon (talk) 22:02, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. This reads like a CV. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 02:41, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
