Completing nomination for User:85.166.140.237: This is a person who has an article on Norwegian wikipedia.

He was not a "major player" in any way, during the Utøya massacre, to my knowledge.

Any notability apart from being shot and killed alongside less than 100 other individuals, will have to be demonstrated in the article about the attack.

Therefore I have removed him from category:2011 Norway attacks.

(I am not even sure that he is notable as a subject for an article on wikipedia. His name might perhaps only belong in a future article about the local/''chapter' of AUF where was a leader — in Bergen or in Hordaland.)

Nomination for deletion of the article, has my support.--85.166.140.237 (talk) 12:20, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment Eikeland is one of two Utøya-victims that has an article on no.wikipedia.org - the other was Håvard Vederhus. Verderhus was leader of AUF in the most populated county in Norway, Oslo, while Eikeland was leder of AuF in the 3rd most populated county, Hordaland. In the local elections on 12 September 2011, Eikeland was elected into the Hordaland County Council. Eikeland (and Vederhus) is the two most notable victim in the 2011 Norway attacks, but I don't know if they are notable enough to have an own article on english wikipedia.Mentoz86 (talk) 18:04, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * There is already an ongoing discussion on wikipedia about the notability of the victims of the shooting, . Vederhus was found notable for being leader of a national organization. None of the leaders of local chapters of AUF were found notable (for being leaders of local chapters). P.S. I have previously used IP-address 85.166.140.237, in this discussion.--85.166.141.247 (talk) 10:28, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Mentoz86 seems to have missed a major point from the article in Bergens Tidende : "(The reasoning is that the person in question is not electable, and therefore can not be elected,)«Begrunnelsen er at vedkommende ikke er valgbar og kan da heller ikke velges". There is no article about Vederhus, so please leave his name out of the discussion. So far, only Mentoz86 thinks that leadership of a local chapter of AUF, qualifies for notability.--85.166.141.247 (talk) 10:42, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, a promising prospect with an incredibly sad fate, but did not hold any really notable positions yet. Geschichte (talk) 17:36, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Comment, he was never was elected to political office in a general election. (From time to time (in a number of countries) a person who is dead is still listed on an election ticket. That names on a ticket receive votes, is not above the notability threshold that we are discussing — even when the person is already dead. Mentioning his name in an article about that national election, might be OK (but that is a discussion that does not belong here).--85.166.141.247 (talk) 11:47, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I changed your delete to comment, since your IP was the one who started the discussion. Geschichte (talk) 12:52, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - "up and coming"-politician. Sources indicates he had a strong position in the youth section of his party. and thereby recieved the attention in these sources.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:21, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
