No reliable sources found to verify notability. &mdash;  X   S   G   07:52, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know. I found one reliable source. Punkmorten (talk) 08:45, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, yes, Dagbladet is a reliable source. But they have a book review dated 20.11.1997 and an author profile (undated as far as I can see).  Jørgensen's 5 books are listed, from poetry in 1984 to Bank (mentioned in the article) in 1998.  The man has also been a rock musician and has translated texts for radio and theater, it says.  There is an article about Jørgensen in the Norwegian (bokmål) Wikipedia.  In my opinion, he is notable enough for Norwegian Wikipedia but definitely not notable enough for English Wikipedia. Deletion supported.  --Hordaland (talk) 10:05, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. How can he be notable enough for Norwegian Wikipedia but not for English Wikipedia? Both aim to cover the same subject matter - they're just written in different languages. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:38, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Answer (my opinion): Norway's population is well under half that of several of the world's big cities.  A local topic or person can be a big enough fish in that little pond, but at the same time be too tiny to be noticed in a bigger pond.  --Hordaland (talk) 12:12, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak delete due to lack of sourcing; open to change if evidence is presented that he has actually got reasonable sales figures. Stifle (talk) 11:07, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I originally nominated this for speedy just when it was created, but allowed the creator (who was the novelist himself) to, upon request, establish notability. This has not happened. He is clearly notable for Norwegian Wikipedia, but apparently not for English Wikipedia. He may become notable if he publishes a book in English and it receives some attention, but that's not a reason to have an article on him now, as per WP:CRYSTAL.

 * Delete - WP:COI. &mdash;  X   S   G   01:41, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You already nominated the article, I think we know what your opinion is. Anyway, COI is not a reason to delete. Punkmorten (talk) 15:47, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
