According to, that article doesn't meet WP:PROF. As far as I can see, this simply not the case. It does meet criteria #1 and #8 - please see for a full list of Kristoffersen's publications. Peter238 (talk) 03:33, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
 * It is not demonstrated in the article. LinkedIn is not permissible as a source. What dialect he speaks is hardly relevant. Geschichte (talk) 18:18, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Please read my messages thoroughly. The source I'm talking about is not LinkedIn, but the official site of the University of Bergen. Plus, we're not talking about him being the native speaker of Arendalsk. That's just an additional information, not the main point of the article. Peter238 (talk) 18:36, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Notability is not demonstrated in the article text. Geschichte (talk) 22:01, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late response (just noticed yours). Anyway: I'm not sure how (and if one even can do that) to check how many times scholars cited a book. A few books from this list are, most likely, highly cited, especially "The Phonology of Norwegian", as well as "The Oxford Handbook of Corpus Phonology" and maybe a few others as well.

 * Keep. I note that his employer's website lists his job title as "Professor II", a position he was promoted to after being a full professor for nine years. I'm not very familiar with the Norwegian academic rank system but that looks like a pass of WP:PROF to me. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:02, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, "Professor II" is a part-time affiliation. Geschichte (talk) 22:40, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Really? That's weird. Ok, I've struck my comment for now until I can find some other basis for making a decision. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:47, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Clearly notable. Author or joint author of several major works, as given at his university site and confirmed by WorldCat. Author of The phonology of Norwegian  Oxford University Press,   is in 500 libraries, which for predominantly US holdings on a less studied for a work on that language is remarkably high. The only modern equivalent is in 39 libraries , sothis is sufficient to prove him the world specialist in the subject, which meets WP:PROF. Also joint ed of The Oxford Handbook of Corpus Phonology. Oxford University Press.  in 229 libraries and the first and only book length work on the subject  Other significant works as listed by his university. Professor of a Norwegian subject at the major Norwegian university. Clearly meets the basic criterion of WP:PROF, an authority in his subject.  DGG ( talk ) 07:33, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I fixed the BOLD error on your comment (also I think your italicization is messed up). Hope you won't mind. Regards— ☮ JAaron95  Talk   13:05, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
