The result was keep. It's worth noting had added sources after the AFD nomination hence why it doesn't rely on one source - Universities are never ever deleted and as the nominators rationale is now moot there's no point to keeping this open for another 3 days (non-admin closure) – Davey 2010 Talk 13:37, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep Does not rely on a single source - there is only one in-depth secondary source, and a couple of uses of Wikipedia as a source but that's a different matter (and it is easy enough to find other sources, for instance this entry in a Norwegian encyclopedia). It is an accredited, degree-awarding, government-owned university formed by the merger of two previous such universities. Notability is not in question, and was not mentioned in the nomination, so what exactly is the issue here? --bonadea contributions talk 06:42, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, I looked at the article history and most of the current sources were added after the AfD nomination. Still, WP:BEFORE is important. In addition, this AfD was created when the article was only three minutes old. --bonadea contributions talk 06:44, 12 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep as merge of two established universities: Hedmark University College and Lillehammer University College. The merge was done in 2017, so there should be sources indicating so, perhaps not in English, but this is fairly notable.  AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 16:15, 12 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. We keep secondary schools (high schools) and up. --Doncram (talk) 03:31, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: a major public institution of higher learning, with six campuses and 12,000 students. Why want to have an article about a university deleted? K.e.coffman (talk) 20:15, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
