Sindre Sørhus

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested PROD (reverted without explanation or addressing the problems). Unreferenced and unverifiable. Possible hoax. If not a hoax then a non-notable person. No corresponding article on the Norwegian Wikipedia. Googling shows that at least one person called Sindre Sørhus does exist but there is nothing that matches the description here or which shows RS coverage. There is a Sindre Sørhus on Flickr who posts photos of dogs and the author of this article also makes edits related to articles about photography and dogs (changing the images to ones he uploaded to the Commons). Possibly a bizarre sort of fictionalised autobiography. DanielRigal (talk) 17:03, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Obvious hoax. How can a couple have a 'gay half child', for example? AlexTiefling (talk) 17:29, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as NN or hoax. The last two sentences (about his wife and child) were attack added by an IP - I have deleted them as unsourced negative BLP. JohnCD (talk) 17:31, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment As posted on the discussion page. This was posted to question the truthfulness of the article.
 * "Flickr has a user with the name Sindre Sørhus, as does Facebok (I forgot to copy the link, WP:AGF). "

 * Delete, the Kødd award does not appear to be notable enough to lead to notability per WP:BIO's section on awards, and he fails WP:ATHLETE since he is not yet competing as a professional. May indeed be a hoax, but even if not, this person isn't notable - there isn't even an article on him at Norwegian Wikipedia (check yourself). - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 18:54, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. -Drdisque (talk) 19:56, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. As the original prodder, my reasoning was "While there are claims of importance (winning award), can't verify anything in the article in a gsearch. Either non-notable or a hoax." I still stand by that.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  23:46, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unsourced article, and I haven't been able to find any sources about Sørland the body builder. This is an article about a person with the same name who received coverage for a series of mountain climbing expeditions, but there is no evidence that this is the same person.

 * Speedy delete as hoax No sources to verify this person is real.-- Giants27 T/  C  14:07, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Regretful delete. Wikipedia's coverage of people who like to sit on a bench in their spare time is woefully inadequate, but there are no sources to verify Sørhus' notability for this or anything else. -- Shunpiker (talk) 06:36, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
