Not Notable. GeorgeLouis (talk) 06:44, 11 March 2015 (UTC) "Delete. The news references seem to be run-of-the mill and do not confer Notability (although I don't read Norwegian very well). GeorgeLouis (talk) 06:46, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * He doesn't even have a listing in either of the Norwegian-language Wikipedias. https://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=St%C3%A5le+%C3%98kland&go=Go or https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=St%C3%A5le+%C3%98kland&go=Go GeorgeLouis (talk) 06:52, 11 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Norwegians all read English very well, so I haven't prioritized the time to write a Norwegian version. I have spent a great amount of time making this description, Even updating it with the info on his latest book that was published last week.
 * I have included many references and links, and I strongly object both to this nomination, and to any attempt to delete my writing! Benedicte. Benedicteok (talk) 09:05, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * At issue is whether he is notable per Wikipedia standards. The text of the article doesn't adequately explain why he's notable, and unfortunately the content of links is inaccessible for non-Norwegian speakers, making them more difficult to assess.  The specific notability requirements for persons are in Notability_(people).  To save this article, you're going to need to give non-trivial references that establish one or more of these criteria.  It may help if you can connect the dots for us (point out which refs establish which notability criteria).--Robin Thayler (talk) 09:41, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your help! I have read through your helpful links and tried to update the page so that the links/references are also made directly in the text, trying to make the notability more clear. There are several links to german articles and pages, some Danish and also one in English. I have also made the page shorter and hopefully more to the point. What do you think now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benedicteok (talk • contribs) 12:00, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Notability criteria for authors The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors. The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique. The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

I have now included more information, more links and linked this page to other relevant pages on English Wiki. Am I drawing closer to this discussion beeing over? Benedicteok (talk) 13:05, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * possible keep ran name through a news google search, produced pages of articles in Norwegian. ran a random sample of them through "translate" and, even in the rough, it was plain to see that his books and the ideas in them are being discussed - most often by those who disagree with him and the evidence he presents - but they are a topic in Norway.  Not sure if there are actual profiles of him, which there should be to pass WP:GNG, E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:05, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
