 * Keep. I rewrote the article to eliminate the copyvio and added a review of one of his books from the Telegraph as a reference. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 18:34, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete rewrite has fixed the copyvio. However, one review of one book falls short of WP:AUTHOR, so still a delete.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 18:56, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, I'm not 100% convinced that it's the notability of the author being demonstrated in those refs, as opposed to the subject of the biography. However, we've a few international reliable sources now and someone actively working to improve the article so I'll give the benefit of the doubt.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 19:42, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. I added more references. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:11, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep G-News search for Halldor Gudmundsson reveals a lot of coverage in multiple languages. In my opinion, Halldór Guðmundsson is a notable writer in Iceland. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 19:17, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Another of his books was chosen best biography of the year, so that's 2 prizes. Eastmain is doing a good job finding and adding stuff; I tried to help but I'm afraid he/she's using citation templates and they defeat me, so I'll leave it to him/her for now :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 19:43, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
