Non-notable person. Speedy declined on the basis that the claim that Kruse Andersen is "one of the pioneers in childbearing care in Norway", however this claim is supported by this source, a book titled Kruseboka (or "Kruse Book"); apparently a family history written by Bard Kruse (presumably a relative). This really can't be considered a reliable source. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:41, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as failing to satisfy WP:BIO, the guideline for notability for biographies, unless reliable and independent sources can be produced which verify the claim she is her country's "pioneer childbirth educator" beyond the book the nominator has identified as a family history. (Still she sounds like a fine lady, and deletion of the article should not be considered as disrespect). Edison (talk) 15:15, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I could not find Norwegian sources either. Her book is classified as a popular work and does not appear to be a pioneering work. Her husband and who she studied under do not convey notability. The scouting angle might be notable but I was unable to find independent sources on it. Unless someone can turn up newspaper coverage that I can't see, she doesn't meet our notability threshhold. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:59, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. The purpose of this book is to provide a brief overview of some what happens during normal pregnancy, childbirth ... That doesn't sound like anything that could support pioneer in childbearing care.--Ben Ben (talk) 12:02, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
