Lise Nørgaard

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable writer, no awards or lasting impact of work. Not seeing much coverage out there except in large lists of people.  MBisanz  talk 17:18, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:AUTHOR #3 Dlabtot (talk) 18:48, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep This is nuts, she is one of the most notable Danish playwrights, a first-class celebrity. Her plays for TV have aired in Germany and elseswhere and have been issued and re-issued on DVD, seen repeated runs on national television, in-depth interviews in ALL major Danish media, the major TV channels included. This is a clearcut WP:BIAS issue, as access to Danish media archives requires subscription.  "Not seeing much coverage out there except in large lists of people" - tsk.

 * Keep per both of the above. She is something of a national treasure.  That being said, someone should do something about the references. Hmm, maybe I should.  Favonian (talk) 12:07, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I've added a couple of sources. This one, though it's written by her about Hans Christian Andersen, also contains a brief bio by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation confirming her standing as "The Grand Old Dame of Danish Literature".  Not sure I would have chosen that phrase in English, it sounds rather more polite in Danish ;)  Favonian (talk) 13:14, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep DId the nominator even look for sources? These are very strange nominations. Bisanz has picked two articles for deletion which are actually more notable figures than many of the others from their countries!! Perhaps he has something against the Danish? I am kidding but please do look for sources first before wasting peoples time when really non notable articles should be here instead... Dr. Blofeld       White cat 14:14, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Left a note at his talk page, exactly the same message. Power.corrupts (talk) 14:17, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep "Lise Nørgaard is the Danish cultural life's first lady, not only its oldest one". - Dagens Nyheter ¨¨ victor   falk  04:22, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

 * KEEP -- A best-selling author, creator & writer of the most successful TV series in Danish history, winner of the lifetime achievement award by the Danish National Press Club, winner of the Danish writer of the year, knighted into the Order of the Dannebrog, Bio in the Danish Encylcopedia -- an obvious obvious keep. — Cactus Writer |   needles  19:10, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly notable.  Wikipeterproject (talk) 02:08, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. This is an odd nomination for deletion and, at face value, even seems frivolous... Wikipeterproject (talk) 02:11, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
