It exists. But the article is currently sourced with brief mentions and unreliable sources. Sources did not turn up any in-depth coverage. Fails WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:48, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article has more than the sufficent ammount of sources, most of them from credited papers written by scholars, professors and proffesionals of their respective fields, and from articles and papers released by "regjeringen" and "romsenter" respectively, who are both branches of the norwegian government. There are sources from the official Inmarsat website, aswell as a well known and covered norwegian news outlet.

The "wikimapia.org" source is based on real map data.

So in summary the article is well covered with credited sources for every aspect of the article. Williamvennen (talk) 15:33, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - the articles are not about the station, but about the satellites, or the program, or the company.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:03, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and that is why the article is not any longer than the information that is avaliable about it. Some of the articles used as sources are about sattelites, and the program, but they have mentions of the Eik Earth station. There is limited information about this, most of it in Norwegian, like the text's from "Romsenter", "Regjeringen", and "Aftenbladet".

So most of the english sources have brief mentions of the earth station with coherent information from the text, those sources are used as references in the parts of the text that they back up, that's the reason for the relatively high number of citations for such a short text.

And in the General Notability Guidline WP:GNG, there is written; "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material."

So in short, the article has sources backing it up in all parts of the text. Williamvennen (talk) 19:33, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
