Poorly sourced WP:BLP with a very weak claim of notability. Prod removed with the comment "This is a genuine page. I will add more references and informatiob later. Thank you" by an IP in the UK who is apparently the same editor as another IP currently on a final warning for unexplained changes to this article and Magnús Scheving.

The only source in the article is also the only independent reliable source I can find on the subject. It provides very little info on the subject, only that she co-owns a restaurant and that Magnús Scheving provided some input. Her apparent notability, such as it is, as Head of Creative Development and Operations of LazyTown Entertainment is not mentioned, nor is any meaningful biographical info. While her LinkedIn page does confirm that job, that is not helpful for WP:BIO or WP:GNG. The position itself is not typically an indication of notability. Sum mer PhD v2.0 15:27, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - If there was more RS verifying her position, I would consider a redirect. However, BLPs need to be held to a high standard, and the total absence of secondary sources makes me believe that the standard cannot be met.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 15:47, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks (lovely name); a lot of those are sourced to a single publication (Vísir.is), but now at least I believe it is not entirely hopeless to create a worthwhile article, hence my change to weak keep'.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 21:01, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment There are various sources about her and her business ventures in the Icelandic media           . She also seems to be engaged to the above mentioned Magnús Scheving . -- Dammit_steve (talk) 11:23, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

There are many articles about Hrefna. For example contains most of life story and is secondary source. Other sources posted by Dammit_steve are also good, even sources in article are good. Use https://translate.google.is to read sources. 11:21, 3 June 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.146.136.16 (talk)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep Okay, having read through all of the secondary sources I could (the ones that are images of newspapers obviously can't be translated) and there seems more than enough to cover her - different sources, covering different aspects of her life. The article could be vastly more substantial. The only ambiguity comes from the fact that google translate isn't great with icelandic, but more than enough to make me happy that notability is satisfied.

 * I'm a little unsure why Dammit_steve and North Americ 109.146.136.16 didn't !vote Keep given their comments. If either of you has a negative bit or thinks it is insufficient please tell me in case I've missed it, please Nosebagbear (talk)


 * Sorry to NA1000 for accidental pinging - copied wrong signature! Nosebagbear (talk) 22:00, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * As I speak the language, I mostly commented to list some available sources to help others decide as it might be difficult for them to find those sources. That said, the Icelandic media have been covering her ventures regulary for more than a decade so I would say Keep. Also, it might be time to semi-protect the article as someone out there seems to have a really big issue with her relationship with Magnús Scheving and has vandalized both articles number of times.

 * Keep Seems to meet GNG per the above sources. They do not have to be in English. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 12:29, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
