 * It would be really good if someone who knows Norwegian can check the sources and confirm the notability of the person. --Satdeep Gill (talk • contribs 18:44, 1 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Weak delete. Hi WBG. The article was deleted 10 ago, and it has come a fair bit, enough I think for a seed article. It is tenuous. I reviewed and if it hadn't been posted I would have left it, but now, its tenuous.  scope_creep Talk  18:50, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't read Norwegian but I have Google translate. This seems to be a profile on a public work he did. Here's an article on trondheim.no that looks tourist-oriented. He is in the permanent collection of the Norwegian National Art Museum, which is a significant indicator. This link seems to say he is part of the Arts Council of Norway collection. There is a picture of a 60 metre long mural he did at the College of West Norway here. The Museum collection and the 60. metre mural in the public collection of the school puts his pretty close to meeting WP:NARTIST, although that requires several notable museums, and here we have one museum and one school. I'm pretty sure there is more out there in Norwegian, given the links above. the current page needs to be rewritten.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 19:02, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Aha. The mural was commissioned by Koro, the organization that "has principal management responsibility for the Norwegian government’s collection of art in public spaces. The collection comprises around 8,000 works of art that are on display in a total of 920 different places in Norway and at Norwegian embassies and consulates abroad.". So that makes several collections, and meets WP:ARTIST if you are willing to say the Norwegian government art collection is equivalent to a notable museum or gallery.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 19:29, 1 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep - Passes WP:NARTIST as per sources noted by ThatMontrealIP. I'd say being in the Norwegian government art in public places collection is analogous to a US artist being in the collection of the US State Dept Art in Embassies Program or the 1% for Art Program both of which are highly selective and professionally curated.
