 * Keep. When I created this article, it was because I saw products from the company being sold at many sites around the web and people from many countries are discussing the products on different Internet fora. It is an old comapny and it has a longer article on the company's home language, Norwegian. Facts are verified by linked footnotes. As the article looks at the moment, it could of course be made better. John Anderson   (talk) 05:23, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * So far, we've got the company's own Web site, a few home pages, and Internet forums. The first one is a primary source, and the others are outright unacceptable sources.  It still fails WP:CORP.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 13:51, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. I have tagged the article for rescue. None of the links present now are applicable to attest notability. Indeed, several are to forums and should be outright removed together with the information for which they are used to reference. __meco (talk) 18:22, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Google news search through Google translator shows news results for the store. . Hmm... copying and pasting ends up showing the original untranslated text.  Whatever.  Search through the results for the word "jacket", and you see much talk about the jackets they produce.   D r e a m Focus  01:34, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Yes, there are lots of hits, but they are about individual products the company produces, not about the company.  IF I understand notability here, that doesn't fully count.  Hmmm... Looking at WP:ORG it looks like what we have here is not in depth, so we need multiple.   Yes, we've got A LOT of mentions.  So, OK, keep.  NB: there are multiple organizations named "Norrøna", this one seems to be "Norrøna Sports", but there is a "Norrøna Kindergarten" and an aerospace company with the same name.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment There seems to be a lot of sentiment in favor of keeping this article, but as yet there are no secondary reliable sources to satisfy WP:GNG or WP:CORP. Since this is a fairly new article, and the argument is that those sources exist, I am relisting it partly to allow some extra time to find and incorporate them.  As the article currently stands, I believe deletion would be the correct course. Shimeru (talk) 19:25, 21 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - relying on the google translator makes for very difficult reference searching. I found this article which is a feature on the company itself.  A google news search would indicate there is more to be found, and a Norwegian editor may be able quickly sort through it all. -- Whpq (talk) 16:30, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
