Nothing singificant given by this article and remains unsourced. Pretty much useless to a user of WP. Theprussian (talk) 20:27, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Obviously notable. Needs expansion rather than deletion. See for example . --Michig (talk) 20:41, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep – If he was a parliamentary minister then he would be very notable, as MPs are automatically.  J 947 ( c ) (m)   21:21, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. The answer to "remains unsourced" is to add sources. (It took me about half a minute to find one.) The answer to "Nothing singificant [sic] given by this article" is to add content. Being a member of a national parliament is a pretty solid indication of notability, and the fact that he was minister of defence in a national government (albeit briefly) consolidates that.

 * Comment, nominator needs to remember WP:CONTN - "Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article." Coolabahapple (talk) 04:55, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:ANYBIO with an entry in Norsk biografisk leksikon, also there has been an article in norwegian wikipedia since 2009/10 with no issues that can provide further info about Peersen. Coolabahapple (talk) 05:01, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep meets notability given a) elected politician and b) serving as minister of defense, even if only briefly. The article needs work, not deletion pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 15:13, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep: Important not to confuse article quality with notability.   Montanabw (talk) 06:06, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
