Arne Næss, Jr.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet notability per WP:ANYBIO - neither his career in the shipping industry nor his mountaineering are part of an enduring historical record in their respective fields. He has obits that discuss his business and personal life, but his notability in those obits mostly seems to do with being tremendously wealthy and previously married to Diana Ross. There is an article discussing his wedding to Diana Ross, but that does not count towards notability in my opinion since it was only due to WP:INHERIT. 217IP (talk) 15:40, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep, already failed a Speedy Deletion as it was deemed to have notability, although I do agree there needs to be more content added to this article. CDRL102 (talk) 14:33, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
