The result was speedy keep. Clearly there is consensus to keep this article. In its current state, this article has no context to identify the signifigance of the subject, so I have added the context tag. Hopefully someone knowledgeable on the subject can add this information. Nomination withdrawn. (non-admin closure) StartOkayStop (talk) 04:09, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article doesn't seem to make a claim of significance, although I hesitate to nominate for A7 because of a failed prod from years ago. I do not see how this immigration agent from the 19th century is notable or significant. StartOkayStop (talk) 07:27, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep he arranged the immigration of three boat loads of settlers, their transport into the bush and then the creation of Norsewood as a populated place. He also features prominently in the ~300 page "Scandinavian Footprints – A History of Scandinavians Settling in New Zealand" by Margit Brew. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:28, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't this be in the article? I mean, literally, this article just says his name, job, birth date and death date, with no real information about his achievements or significance. StartOkayStop (talk) 16:59, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ Comment I find no sources in English, unsure of the Norwegian? ones. Leaning delete, seems to be a simple low-level employee. Oaktree b (talk) 13:08, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Not sure if Oaktree b meant Keep or Delete up there, but I goes Keep based on this here entry in Dictionary of New Zealand Biography TEARA alone. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:57, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, people with an entry in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography are considered notable, apart from a small number of representative entries as noted in that article. The DNZB entry has a list of sources, but there are enough sources already in the article to allow significant expansion.-gadfium 19:32, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as has and entry in the DNZB and is not one of a handful of "representative entries" that are instead listed at Dictionary of New Zealand Biography#Representative entries. Schwede 66 22:08, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
