Biography of a composer and reality TV participant. I find no coverage of him at all in secondary sources, but quite a few primary sources. His claim to notability as a composer is a song that was at number 19 on a list of the most frequently played songs on a Norwegian radio show in 2008 (previously wrongly credited in the article as one of the most frequently played songs on a radio channel). However, the sources do not mention his name - there's no particular reason to believe he is not the composer of the song, but the notability claim is extremely weak given that his name is not to be found, and given that the song itself did not chart.

The reality TV claim to notability is based on his participating in an entrepreneur contest on Norwegian TV and ending up in 5th place. He was also part of a panel of people who commented on the Norwegian parliamentary election in 2009, but again, that doesn't confer any particular notability when he was never actually given significant coverage in independent sources.

The article was created by a known paid editor (now blocked). It is also relevant to mention that the article about him was deleted as non-notable on no.wikipedia in 2014. Different Wikipedia versions have different notability criteria, but still. bonadea contributions talk 10:57, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

 * This composer meet the wikipedia Notability criteria for three reasons. First is that he has composed the music identity for a major television network (TV 2) for several years. This is the largest commercial televison network in Norway, Second is that he has composed the song waschera witch was many months on the national charts NRK MP3.
 * Third is that he composed the music for "breaking borders" on travel channel and My mercy box witch has been broadcasted in the whole of europe and USA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Norsktv (talk • contribs) 15:35, 7 February 2017 (UTC)  —  has only contributed to the article(s) under discussion for deletion and AFD.
 * NRK mP3 is not a national chart, it is a radio channel. And Waschera was the 19th most played song in 2008 on "Svisj", which is one of the shows on that channel; it did not feature on the main top-20 list for the channel as a whole. --bonadea contributions talk 19:25, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak delete - the topic might be notable as the article claims Dyngvold to have produced a notable film, but I find it to be unverifiable. - The   Magnificentist  19:05, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Does it say that he has produced a film, though? I think the claims are mainly that he has composed music for films (as well as for a "channel identity", which I think is some kind of promotional material for a TV channel, but I'm not sure). Composing for a notable film doesn't make him notable (just like every actor in a notable film is not automatically notable...) If he were a producer that might make it different, I agree. --bonadea contributions talk 19:25, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The article does not say he produced a film, let alone a notable one. And in most cases it would not help much, film producers, as well as so many other people working behind the scene in cinema, are exceedingly difficult to source. Unfortunately. — Sam Sailor 00:49, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. I spent some time on this subject the other day, and I couldn't find a source that's not already in the article, and we are far away from both WP:GNG/WP:BASIC as well as any criterion in WP:MUSBIO. Delete per WP:DEL8. — Sam Sailor 00:49, 17 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment - copy-paste from my talk page: "I just scrolled through the filmography section in the article and randomly went to a movie article to see his role. There I saw he was credited as the producer. That's all that happened. I still the thought the article should be deleted but the production credit might have glimpse of sign that the topic may be notable, that's why it's a "weak delete" from me". - The   Magnificentist  06:51, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
