Article falls afoul of WP:NPERSON and WP:1E; a lot of sources for this guy were wrote on 5 Jan 2010, which was when this man took over from the Opera Software founder. Other than that, next to nothing comes up on Google. My name is not dave (talk/contribs) 17:28, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. Although not a society butterfly, he has received continuing coverage in the Norwegian media (in addition to encyclopedically useful articles, several things like this come up on the Kvasir search engine), and there are other foreign-language sources that may have been missed. I've added references and information (and joined it to the Russian and Norwegian wikipedia articles via Wikidata). Yngvadottir (talk) 07:02, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

 * weak Keep as CEO of major company.  DGG ( talk ) 18:33, 25 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep. Lars is the CEO of a company whose primary product has 400 million users world-wide. I think his entry is a useful - and accurate - biographic sketch of interest to people around the world. Lars was an invited speaker at an event we sponsored and his talk about his path to his current position was of great interest to the audience, which included many graduate business students. I suspect, but cannot guarantee, that many went to Wikipedia to research his background. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoundPrarie (talk • contribs) 03:13, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
