Non-notable. The contested deletion claims Kruse as a war hero, but his war experiences do not rise above the ordinary. The cited honours are citations for serving in particular campaigns, not for any extraordinarily meritorious actions. The reference to Kruseboka is apparently a private family history.

Delete He may have notable relatives, but notability is not inherited. He served honorably in his country's military, but so have millions of others. No convincing evidence of notability. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 20:43, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Served in the Norwegian Air Force in WW II and got some service medals. Promoted to officer after the war, highest rank was Colonel. Sourced with a Who's who and a family history. According to Military history WikiProject he is not notable.--Ben Ben (talk) 11:00, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
