 * Nomination Withdrawn Appartently this is a big deal in Norway! Major props to Tokyogirl, for majorly expanding the article. Winner 42 Talk to me!  16:27, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: I found this NFI article that says that one of the Captain Sabertooth films sold about 365,902 tickets in one year, which gives off the impression that the films should have coverage in Norwegian. I'll let the Norwegian WP know so that they can help look for sources. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  04:25, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. The majority of sourcing out there appears to be Norwegian (which I am not even remotely fluent in), but I was able to find enough with a basic search and Google Translate to prove notability. I've changed the page to reflect on the series as a whole, which appears to be wildly popular. The character has been the focus of stage plays, theatrical films, cartoons, and a television series, along with a book series that one source claims has sold over 9 million copies. It still needs to be fleshed out (preferably by someone familiar with the series), but there's enough to assert notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  05:05, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * comment Everyone who lives in Norway has heard of Kaptein Sabeltann.  He's been around since 1989 - at least one generation has grown up with him. There's Kaptein Sabeltann bread in all the stores, there is or has been Kaptein Sabeltann ice cream, there is Kaptein Sabeltann leverpostei.  So in Norway he's very notable indeed.  I don't know if that necessarily makes him notable on English Wikipedia. Norwegian (bokmål) Wikipedia has a very long article about him.  --Hordaland (talk) 05:21, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I found a picture of the bread! Hordaland, do you currently live in Norway? Basically I think it'd be cool to have a picture of that on Wikipedia, so if you could take a picture or have someone else take one that'd be awesome. (Also, how cool is it that there is Simpsons themed bread?) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:43, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh! And can you also help translate the Norwegian Wikipedia page? I can do some of the stuff that isn't as reliant on the person being fluent, like the cast lists, but the bulk of the article would need someone who can translate the particulars. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:48, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I live in Hordaland :) I don't want to get into a BIG translation project.  Maybe you could e-mail me passages of interest?
 * That picture you found was in an evaluation of "children's" breads. The advice: use them only for special occasions & don't believe anyone who tells you that children don't like rye and other coarse, dark breads with high fiber content.  --Hordaland (talk) 12:43, 12 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep This is possibly within Norway the most notable fictional character ever. He is a house-hold name and I bet four of five Norwegians could name him. The franchise has spun off all sorts of fast-moving consumer goods, television broadcasts and feature films, as well as a theme park, books, comic books and music. This article states that Formoe has a combined NOK 26 million (~€3 million) in annual revenue from the character. Arsenikk (talk)  21:53, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - basically per Arsenikk. Very well known character for many years, with films, plays and songs etc. The article is not in good shape, but that's another matter entirely. Manxruler (talk) 13:12, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
