Hans Ove Skau
Non-notable. Google gives appr. six hits that relate to him. Haakon 21:08, 27 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Looks like vanity to me. He aparently has a PhD and has published a few articles as well, but that doesn't make him notable. Shanes 23:01, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, vanity. Demiurge 13:43, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * This is a famous American author. Something strange here.  Necessary to delete! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Innaa (talk • contribs)
 * Delete. No real claim to notability - being related to famous people doesn't count. David | Talk 23:19, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Here we have the problem: Shall an author be notified or not ? What is an adnotable author. Who shall decide ? On Wikipedia we find definitions of elementary words like sports, professor etc. The answer is perhaps: What is the author writing about and who read the books ? We know, you do not have to be a scientific author to be famous. Only ordinary stories can be a ground to become famous.
