As far as this is concerned, it is so appallingly written it would require a fundamental rewrite to become encyclopedic and also is sourced by WikiSource, which is user-updated data. I highly doubt notability, as well, but disagrees and so does, the author. Laun chba  ller  23:33, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete No indication that WP:AUTHOR or WP:BASIC are met, notability unproven. Cheers, LindsayHello 07:07, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete  I'm not at all sure he's notable, but I declined an a7; there was indication he might be important, which is a lesser standard. Probably I should I sent it here myself.  DGG ( talk ) 22:22, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, Subject is the Author of the work Slash and burn though the work is orginally written in Norwegian, a google book search {"Slash and burn" Tvengsberg} finds 9 distinct hits for the author and work. Appears to meet WP:N without difficulty. While the entry here could use some work, that is not cause for deletion. JeepdaySock (AKA, Jeepday) 11:02, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, I've tried to clean this page up a bit, as well as some of the associated pages at Wikisource, and I've certainly found many citations and papers listed on Google Scholar. A lot is in Norwegian, however, so I'm not sure how notable or how to use them in the article.  Therefore, I'm leaning towards keep until proven otherwise. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 17:16, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment - I failed to verify notability, he is known locally, and has a work published in his language, his notability is weak, but it does not assert maintainability. Eduemoni↑talk↓ </b> 23:50, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete&mdash;A quick Google search doesn't turn up any reliable sources, although he looks like he might be notable. If someone could find a news article on or mentioning him, I'd probably vote keep. -- SamX‧☎‧✎  04:23, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Leaning Delete. First, I think we should note that his real name is Per Martin Tvengsberg; this is important for the search. I still don't see him as notable neither per WP:ACADEMIC, WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG. His main work Svedjebruk was published by Norwegian Forest Finns Museum; but I can't see that it has been a very notable or influential work. And his general career, as leader of Hedmark Museum etc. appears to be a bit below the standard for being notable on a national level. Regards, Iselilja (talk) 08:27, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: Could a soft redirect to Wikisource:Author:Per Martin Tvengsberg solve this? A variation on Wiktionary redirect could be created. I don't even think any information would be lost and it could be reverted to an article later if more information turns up. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 12:44, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
