 * Comment If it is true that they were formally expelled from the Norwegian Labour Party's youth wing that points toward notability, because such things tend to generate controversy and some publicity. Given the period during which it is suggested that they operated Google would not necessarily be the best source of information. This does need a Norwegian speaker with access to relevant sources and preferably some knowledge of the politics of the period to advise. --AJHingston (talk) 22:16, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The citation confirms that they were expelled from the youth wing, but I doubt that it can be called a WP:RS. This article about Marit Nybakk mentions "Sosialistisk offensiv" like the readers should know what it is, that is another point toward notability isn't it? Mentoz86 (talk) 12:22, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. According to a Master degree thesis "Studentsamskipnaden i Oslo- Studentens hjertebarn?", Sosialistisk Offensiv was the name used by the list/coalition for AUF in student elections at the University of Oslo in the 70s. Baard Meidell Johannesen who was active in student politics at that time (now in NHO), also notes that AUF called themselves Sosialistisk Offensiv. The above mentioned master thesis also lists Øystein Njaal. Nordang as chair of SiO 1978-80, representing Sosialistisk Offensiv. - I think the whole thing is a bit messy and probably not very important, but it is a small part of the history of AUF and student politics at the University of Oslo (maybe more places). Whether they merit their own article on Wikipedia, I dunno. Store norske leksikon does not have an entry on it, neither does Pax Leksikon. As Mentoz mentions the only curent source is not a reliable one. Regards, Iselilja (talk) 14:02, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
