Delete. Fails WP:PROF. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 19:53, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Apparently an expert on immigration to scandinavian countries, based on the long lists of publications in Norwegian and English. Most of them appear to be articles of long reports, rather than books, so this is only a weak keep. But the noWP has an article, and I give considerable deference to their ability to judge the notability of Norwegian researchers, which I think likely to be better than ours., and I think their notability standard in general at least as high as that of the enWP.

 * Comment no:wp's notability inclusion criteria, particularly for biographies, is considerably lower than en:wp. Arsenikk (talk)  09:34, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, main notability is as a TV figure I think. Geschichte (talk) 14:23, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak keep or delete. Notability as a scholar has not been adequately documented by independent sources. His stature as a minor television celebrity is also tenuous as a reason for keeping this article. __meco (talk) 20:44, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - He probably fails WP:PROF, but I guess he passes as a TV-figure. Article needs a overhaul though. Would be a shame if the article was kept, and then noone cared to do anything about the article, leaving the article as it is now. Mentoz86 (talk) 20:50, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep a new search in Atekst (printed newspaper database) shows 289 hits. For instance, Klassekampen on 29 January 2011 had a two-page article which discusses a report he has co-published in lieu of Norway's immigration politics. Arsenikk (talk)  09:34, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
