 * Weak delete' - Like said, dime a dozen. No coverage that's enough for me to say notable at this time that I can find. gwickwire  talk editing 20:57, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - She is a celebrity. Norway's only publicly known convicted brothel keeper, convicted drug trafficker with experience as a prostitute, who has written a book that has been portrayed on NRK. --Normash (talk) 21:30, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep She's apparently nationally known as a brothel keeper. "A dime a dozen" implies that nobody in that profession can be notable, which is conceivably a moral judgment or a POV, but not an appropriate way to make a modern  encyclopedia   DGG ( talk ) 21:34, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. She works hard for the WP:RS. Qworty (talk) 23:11, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. Extensive national media coverage over a period of years, meets GNG. I will add additional sources if no one else adds them first. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:17, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. As for the moral judgement of the profession, I think it is relevant to point out that being a brothel keeper = organizing prostitution is illegal in Norway, and that the article should be treated as a BLP about a person only or primarily known for crime, specifically two trials. (This may also explain why she basically is the only well-known brothel keeper in Norway and not one of a dozens: media in Norway normally protects the identity of criminals). There was extensive media coverage of the trials, the coverage itself has been subjected to scholarly analysis (in Norwegian). The coverage focused heavily on the indidual's role and she willingly participated to it. After the second trial, she published a self-biography which sold ca. 1,300 ex. and she was interviewed in NRK about, which may make her semi-notable as an author.
