Fails WP:CREATIVE and WP:MUSICBIO. The sources are not reliable or merely confirm certain facts. The foreign language articles don't establish notability. Gnews only comes up with 3 hits including one youtube LibStar (talk) 02:50, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for now - Ah I wished I had caught this one in May as aside from links with News, Books and browser, there's simply nothing to suggest better. Thanks for nominating again,  SwisterTwister   talk  07:02, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - he is one of the most important Faroese film instructor and also well known for his music. He may not be known world wide, but he has won a Nordic film prize in 2007 and several Faroese prizes, including both Faroese filmprizes in 2014, the Geytin and the Audience award. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EileenSanda (talk • contribs) 10:39, 2 October 2015
 * Keep - in my opinion, being nominated for and winning multiple film awards should count as 'significant critical attention' (per WP:CREATIVE). Sietse (talk) 16:01, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep there's certainly a claim of national notability in the article and in sources. Given it's a small country, I don't consider a small GNEWS count as a reasonable reason, and WP:MUSICBIO certainly allows for local notability once verifiable (which the nominee has acknowledged). --   R45    talk! 21:18, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Question please expand on the assertions, (a) which sources are not reliable and why, (b) why "the foreign language articles don't establish notability". -- Sam Sailor Talk! 06:06, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep The nominator's notion that coverage of a topic by reliable sources in foreign languages does not establish notability is incorrect. This is the English language encyclopedia of the entire world, not the encyclopedia of the English-speaking world. Foreign .language sources are just as acceptable for establishing notability as English language sources. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  06:23, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Foreign sources are just as acceptable as English language sources, per WP:RSUE.--Snaevar (talk) 21:04, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
