Long-term unsourced BLP, the link provided doesn't mention the fellow, Google can't find his name on that whole domain, NOWIKI is silent on him, most searches on his name focus on the lawyer of the same name rather than him, and I don't see what appears to be in-depth coverage. He might still be notable, but right now this appears to have been written by someone with the same last name, in a modestly promotional manner (tagged since November 2010). Additional sources welcomed, as always. I would suggest a redirect to Nidar but his name doesn't appear there. j⚛e deckertalk 03:01, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete, unless someone can find old newspaper sources in Norwegian; pre-2000 there's not a lot online, but there could be a lot of dead tree coverage. He has a page on a nice local history wiki here, showing that he became Chairman of the Board at Nobø; I corrected the spelling and linked. He occupies most of the space in a segment ostensibly about his father in a history of Trondheim published in 1936, and has an article in the 1948 Norwegian Who's Who; those substantiate his heading the candy/sweets company from 1910 and his many positions on the boards of companies in the Trondheim region, and enabled me to add some dates and other specifics to the article. But those positions don't rise to the level of conferring notability, the wiki is obviously not a reliable source, and I was not able to find other coverage, so right now he does not meet notability on grounds of coverage either. By the way the article author, who has not edited since but said at the time that he could add Norwegian sources, stated on the talk page that he is the subject's grandson.
